I am looking to posibly purchase a new 2014 GMC Sierra 4x4 all-terrain, either in sle or slt trim.

 

I have been looking at GM family pricing which makes it much more enticing but not exactly excited about the pricing still.

 

One dealership just tried to tell me that GM doesn't allow them to doiscount more than employee pricing and it is set in stone, how true is this?

(I don't trust dealerships, not a even a bit)

 

Also, I'm looking to get out the door for $38k to $40k with trailerbrake, all-terrain 20's, convience and value packages, and the 5.3. Is this possible on a slt or just an sle?

 

Thanks!

I was told the same thing. But the price magically came down when I told them I was at other dealerships and I was making a decision who to go with today.

 

Don't think you can get a SLT out the door for $40k. Maybe a double cab. You probably can get a SLT crew cab z71with 20's for $39-40k before TTL

Yea, it was wishful thinking considering how they price these rigs lately.

 

As much as I am unhappy with the Dodge relaibaility, I just can't get around paying almost as much for a gas truck as my 3500 diesel cost when it was new.

I was at a dealer looking at the Equinox before I picked up my truck, and the sales rep kept repeating over and over "You're getting supplier pricing, that's the dead nuts lowest price." Every time I heard that was just more doubt in the fact that he was being honest. He followed up on his quotes with some more sad tactics the morning I bought my truck from another lot. I was happy to let him know.

I know what you are saying, but look at what they want for a '14/'15 diesel 3500 today. Flat out scary.

 

But the pre dpf diesels are holding their value amazingly well if you are parting with it. Should have never sold my 2007.

Agreed its stupid the cost of vehicles and people paying what they are for em. Talking about pre dpf trucks. Alot of farmers around us are just rebuilding there trucks new motors and whatever else rather thang trading every so often like they used to cause the new trucks suck so bad. Everyone loves there new fancy high dollar diesels but put them in a ratio to who actually works them vs the old diesels and that will give you and idea. Most new diesel owners just ride around for show.

I just purchased my first Silverado. I bought a crew cab with the short bed in the ltz trim. Vehicle was a demo. It had 5000 miles on it. It didn't have a sunroof or DVD. Seemed to have all other options. It is not a 4x4. I paid 35k before tt&l. MSRP was $45900

I continue to follow this forum thread, even though it has been a couple months now since I bought my truck.

Would like to make a suggestion regarding TTL (taxes, title, registration...the things your local state controls) in OTD pricing. These taxes and fees vary greatly from state to state from no sales tax to over 10%.

 

If the numbers quoted on this thread would be "price paid" plus TTL. it would help those comparing numbers to see a more accurate number. Fees and equipment/options your dealer adds on should be included. Documentation fees, Dealer Prep, the fee for taking your check and depositing it. :) ..etc. Those are negotiable. But is very helpful to break out those items for the people trying to compare.

 

I honestly think at this time of the season, you should be getting in the $9-10G off MSRP plus TTL. Especially on the more well equipped trucks. Don't get to wrapped up in all the incentives. Let your dealer work out the numbers. The flip side of this is that if an dealer MSRP includes a bunch of "over valued" dealer add-ons, $10G off may not be as good of deal as it appears. Focus on the factory numbers, then make sure you are only paying realistic numbers for the dealer add-ons.

 

I love my new SLT w/5.3. Ride is ridiculously quiet and smooth. Turning radius is nuts. Mileage: took it on a 1,600 mile trip. Best mileage over 25 miles was 25.1, Best mileage over 400 mile stretch was 20.6. In town driving, it struggles to get out of the mid-teens. Overall avg. with 4,000 total is 17 mpg.

 

Happy shopping and comparing!

In my case this wouldn't help others . I Live in Missouri and i bought in Illinois. I traded a 2010 Audi Q5 for my Silverado. Although i Traded my Q5 I owed what they gave me for it @20K. When Missouri does your Taxes on a New Vehicle you recieve a tax credit on the Trade amount of your traded vehicle... I.E $20k so to the State i bought a $33k Car and traded a $20k car and only pay taxes on $13k. My sales Tax was only $765.00 for my truck . So adding all that in and telling anyone wont help because each states taxes are different and how each state handles trades are different. I would just stick to what the Bottom Line Price you paid was before TTL. cause there are too many nuances to that. Same goes with Warranties and aftermarket crap . Everyone Has different taste and might not buy warranties or paint protector or scotchguard for the cloth interiors...

Yes, I agree 100% with you. We are trying to say the same thing....maybe you just did a better job! :thumbs: Your example is exactly why it is more beneficial if everyone posting numbers would not include TTL (the fees/taxes/etc your dealer has no control over) in the OTD dollar amounts they post on this thread. And you are also correct on the "aftermarket crap" including ext. warranties....those are huge profit centers for dealers. To me, the two most telling numbers are Factory MSRP and the purchase price including dealer doc. fees (but not including trade-in, dealer add-ons, or TTL)

2WD trucks for the same price as 4x4 just doesn't make any sense. might as well buy the 4X4 even for those 2 times a year you might need it, it will make more money back on trade or resale value when you do decide to sell it or upgrade.

4WD are about 3-4K more expensive here in Texas. If they cost the same I'd get one too.

 

You posted pics of your truck here yet? I'm having a hard time deciding between victory red and topaz blue.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Declaring victory would upset the demons that possess this Blazer, so I won't. But I did make progress today--after it put up a fight. Always a fight.   I had the day off so I spent the morning cleaning up the shop and I thought I'd get ahead of things by filling the cooling system in prep for the final part I needed to arrive: the driver's side knock sensor. Glug, glug, glug....and then the unmistakable sound of liquid hitting the shop floor. It induces the same chagrin when the sonar and targeting laser temporarily malfunction during a late night bladder evacuation over the toilet with the bathroom light off. D'OH!!! That made a mess...   Oh, hey, that knock sensor I removed? It threads into a wet port. Who knew?! Learn something new every day. Put a pin in that chore, I'll fill it the rest of the way later.   The knock sensor arrived at about 1pm. I threaded it in, connected the wire, filled up the coolant, checked for leaks, and... drumroll.... fingers crossed for a perfect start, excellent timing, model fuel trims, and ...no squeaks... Here goes.....   No, it didn't start. At all. I cranked it a few times and it wasn't sounding good. Furthermore, I heard leaking again. Jesus H Tapdancing Christ, stop leaking all over the dang floor. This time I had accidentally overfilled the coolant reservoir and the churn of the water pump via cranking caused a bit to burp out. Ok, just, breathe... Put the flamethrower down. Dang thing wouldn't burn anyway, leaks too much...   Did you know the rotation of a round crank sensor in a round hole, matters? I do now. Took me about half hour to retrace steps and realize what I had done. Then it started right up.   No squeaks. The squeak was the old balancer.   Once it entered closed loop, fuel trims are dead on, hovering right around zero at idle. No more -30%. I'll credit the injector rebuild on that one.   Timing? I think there's an OBD 1.5 translation error with my Actron scanner. It's anywhere from -20 to -30 at idle, sometimes as high as -40 cruising. Sorry, the engine just isn't running that smoothly at -40 degrees ignition advance. It's just not. It's smooth all through the rev range and has decent power. I'm going to have to trust the seat of my pants on this one.   The new exhaust is very quiet. The old catalytic converter? Not melted, but definitely not healthy. Rains glitter when you turn it on its end...all the precious metal is flaking out. Once the new exhaust system burned in/smoked off a bit, the engine's exhaust smell is normal again. Not that I'd recommend going around huffing car exhaust, but, you know what I mean?   One problem to correct. The new exhaust has the opposite problem of the old spliced up exhaust. It wants to hit the floor where the old one wanted to rest on the cross member. Happy medium, please? Still noodling on that one, need to look at how I can adjust some hangers.   I don't know what's next. On one hand I want to run away from this thing as far and as fast as I can -- there have been a lot of NOT fun moments. On the other, now that it kinda drives nice, maybe drive it around for a little bit?   Shhh... it's not currently dripping oil all over the floor. I can see just a little wet at the bottom of the timing cover where it meets the oil pan seal. It's not dripping multiple drops with every ignition cycle, in fact, after some driving this evening it has yet to even form a drop that could drip off yet. But the weekend is young... I fully expect this could turn into Exxon Valdez by Sunday. Because this Blazer hates me. LOL.

      About that:   Once upon a time in a land far far away lived a car company that was shy about taking your money and wanted to be sure that they gave you more that you asked for so that you'd come back. No really, not a fairytale. 😱   But after the field got thinned out enough to limit the competition it seemed good enough to give you only what you asked for. Fair enough I say but in such a market you have to give something the others are not or they go to the one who does. Gimmicks or glitz. Oh, fins and chrome. Yea, shinny crow like cars. Yum.    Field narrows a bit more and 'brand loyalty' becomes a thing and the minute it does they start thinking to themselves, "Could we make more money if we gave them less than they expect and they will hang in there for brand and comfort with the known?" They gave it a try and da*n, it worked!!    Well, what if we teach them, groom them into believing that less is "Normal" and cut some more corners. Will that work? Oh heck yea!    🤔 I wonder, can we give then WAY less than they expect and make them mad enough to spit nails and STILL get them to pay up? Sure, if we get everyone else to do the same so that the choice is less or nothing at all. How would be do that? Platform sharing.  What a concept, right?  Steal like there is no tomorrow and it's legal too!    Truth is no one is going to give up driving, not for very long. The Gen Z crowd is fine with it and will be as long as someone not Gen Z will haul them around. At some point we all die.    Economic voting only works if you cast a NO vote now and again and enough of them to get dumb and dumber to wise up. Well, that's how I was taught anyway. And it should have worked. Would have worked. But the Bail out!!   Look, you have another choice if  you take that bag off your head. If the dumb it down to some predetermined expectation of how John Q Public will use it the, that is under design it to failure they you use it to a lower stress mode. D'ho!    A 1950 Royal Enfield Bullet 500 will go anywhere a Suzuki Hayabusa will and for just as long. But you will have to treat it for what it is and not for what you wish it was.

      Bridgestone vs Goodyear tires?

      By Vu1can · Posted

      Maybe I was just too unlucky, but I had nothing but bad luck with Bridgestones. Out of 3 sets, they all started losing a lot of air when they got down to about 1/2 tread life, and at that point also wet traction suffered more than it should have. Also, the only tire I ever had in my 60 years of driving that had a side wall blow out was a Bridgestone.   I'm currently running Goodyear Wrangler Workhorse AT and am very happy with them.

      adding 360 surround view, UVI (Trailer Camera) package to UVS (Surround/invisible Trailer) Upgrade 2020 Silverado RST

      By Carlos Eduardo Silva · Posted

      Thks, and actually it was my bad, because here in this post there is someone showing the correct wire position as well. My bad... But thank you a lot with the help as well. I was able to find and buy a 10 channel VPM that came from a sister silverado of mine. The same year, same mode, same trim, same everything. 2022 Silverado 1500 LTD LTZ (pre-refresh). I also found to buy just the bottom mirror part that has the cameras, so way cheap than the full mirror. + a used front camera. I did test everything together, cameras, cables and the VPM.... everything worked EXCEPT my original Bed camera and the backup grid lines. I think the reason is because now I need to do the VPM reprogram. I sent a msg White Automotive & Media Service to confirm that it is the problem and that they can do it service for me case.   Once I get it 100% done I will post here result....
