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.

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      You must have that upgraded gvw package which is only available or at least was in 2025 with the diesel engine for the 3/4 ton and that gave the truck physically the larger 12.0 ring gear rear diff and the 3500 rear spring pack. There is a difference in what the diff housing looks like externally as one tell tale and also your truck should have the upper overload spring pack and the frame pads that the pack goes up against.    The pressure the tpms system kicks the alarm in on a stock setting truck, that is a good question and was just from what I recall but I doubt I made any notes on it as I knew for the rear that it was not at all what I was after regardless either. Being that you have a diesel and if running on stock tires the minimum pressure on an empty truck seems to be around 50 psi from hearing of those that have weighted the front axle but the rear axle is very similar in weight to a gas truck and again a near empty truck on the rear could go down to 35 pounds at minimum. However the weigh scale is the proper way to know for sure as a guide.    As to changing the readings on the dash from metric to the US measuring system, oh yes that is done easily but what I was attempting to explain was that I can't pick and choose items I want to have in US and those I still want in the metric system at the same time as its either all or none. For example lets say you drove into Canada and switched your dash over to metric so your speedometer read in km an hour, well then your reading kilopascals on your tpms readout and your wife looks over and says what the hell is that saying in the tpms screen and you say "darned if I know, I think its Chinese" !

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      This is partly why I decided to have switched over to Amsoil SS as a way of hopefully preventing the buildup of the sludge/carbon on the pistons and clogging of the oil control rings and the carbon that would cause the compression rings to stick in their grooves as well as stay cleaner up top of the heads in the valve train in the first place, an oil that has tested better by third party testing over typical shelf oil and also doing my best to run relatively short OCI. However in saying that I don't think there is any way to easily prove the oil I was using prior allowed for a buildup at the OCI I was doing, nor in the other direction to make claims the Amsoil is keeping everything clean either. There really isn't a window into the engine is there to know anything for certain even if oil samples were taken for example that showed still healthy oil being dropped out of the oil pan other than engine tear downs that extensive and expensive testing of oils does to actually visually see what is really going on inside the engine. I wish there was some easy method of seeing what is going on but I don't happen to be aware of that if there is.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      My truck is a ¾ ton but my placard also says 80 for the rear tires, I think I might have the upgraded suspension to the 3500 series maybe.   I put my air down to 60 and the light was still on, and there was no way I was putting over 60 psi in the rear empty and not towing because I knew the actual number Toyo gave me and I didn't wanna ruin the center of my tires!   And you actually can change it in the settings from metric or is and it will show kph or mph then when you go into your tire settings it will be either psi or kpa, but it would be nice to just change it directly on the tire psi page

      Gas Prices

      We drove about 15 minute east today to visit a friend and saw a steep increase in price in the same county. About 50 cents a gallon steepper.
