Just pulled the file on my "almost" new GMC Sierra crew cab and the numbers went like this. MSRP $46,750. Price given with employee discount, "thanks mother-in-law" $41,831. Another $3,000 in rebates so price paid was $38,831. TTL was extra with no trade in. This was in December, 2013. The truck was special ordered as I was after the max tow package and camper mirrors. Only 780 miles on it so far as we are waiting for the trailer.

This x1000000. I don't get why people want to set foot in a dealership these days unless they are going to drop of the check and pick up the keys. Negotiate your price before you set foot on the lot even if to test drive....The dealer loses all the edge when you do this.

This again. When I bought my car, it was down to it and a WRX( I know, strange cross shopper). The subaru guy wouldn't discuss price on the phone. I did't buy a WRX. I was only wanting 2k off MSRP, something he could have easily said yes to. He lost a sale.

How much more do y'all think I can talk this dealer down?

That list price seems pretty reasonable to be for a 4x4 LT Z71. That same set-up here in Texas has MSRP of closer to 45K.

 

Wish they'd list that price down here.

Is that a 4WD truck? I'm not so sure. Now I see that it is. My bed sticker is different.

Its not a 4 speed, if you scroll down farther near the engine options, it mentions the 6 speed auto.

 

Last month the dealer had it listed for 33,600. I printed that out in case the price would ever change so I have some leverage lol. Idk what to do... I'm hesitant to get it since I read about a lot of different problems with this first year model run...

I just purchased a 2014 GMC 1500 double cab SLE, Sonoma Red with the 5.3 V8, Z71, convenience package, brake controller, mats, bed liner, value package, 18" tires, and heated seats.

 

The sticker price was 44,525, and I added step bars and an assist handle to that for 725.

 

The actual sale price was 42,257 including the additional 725.

 

I had 6852 in rebate dollars (cash rebate, conquest, and 1602 from my GM card)

 

So the actual cost to me before tax and tags was 35,405

 

The interesting thing to me is that the price reported to data collecting agencies is the 42k, because the rebates are considered "cash down". This is why the reported transaction prices of new full sized trucks are so inflated. The data do not reflect the actual sale price to the consumer!

Pricing incentives (be they factory or dealer offered) are simply nothing more than marketing strategies employed by the manufacturers or their dealers. They do not save you money whether you believe it or not.

 

Bottom line, everyone is paying the same price give or take a few hundred bucks for the same trucks with the same features, i.e. base models, SLE, SLT, Denali, etc. and that any price swing is generally driven by the geographical location in terms of the shipping & handling fees/overheads. Hence, I'd lobby that anyone can buy a new truck today with or without factory/dealer incentives and drive away paying at or very near the same price (excluding S&H charges which are geographical). Its just marketing and consumer hype and they all practice it well.

 

Manufacturers and their dealers today are not competing with customers to earn their business - they are competing with the other brand manufacturer's.

 

And by all means "always do your best to avoid new car buying fever"....

Texas is the #1 State for Pickup truck sales in the US and they know their market.

      J&L OIL SEPARATOR CO

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Just did an injector/HPFP replacement on Pepper at 192,400 miles; close enough to 200K, RIGHT? (If 200K is considered life end and to me it isn't). But hey, to each his own.    Have never run a catch can on this vehicle. Back side of every valve looked like a new valve spray painted semigloss black. Port walls looked 'neat' (all a normal result of passive EGR via VVT) Zero build up even in AFM cylinders. Just color. It uses no measurable oil and never has.    At 155,000 I put her on E-85 and a borescope of the cylinders at plug change showed very clean pistons and valve faces. The replaced injector tips looked new. (It was the pump piston seal that was leaking). Oh well, have six good backups.    Still gets 28 mpg on gas (highway average) and over 20 (highway) on alky. UOA's look good and runs as good now as it did when I bought it. Better in fact.    What improvement would a Catch Can provide this motor?     And given all this I expect that IF I installed one I'd see some water/gas/oil vapor accumulation. Byproducts of normal combustion.   Having said that, IF my motor used an appreciable amount of oil I'd consider it a useful 'crutch' until I had the situation corrected OR if bore polished, until I junked it or rebuilt it to stave off repeated plug fouling.    I'm not telling you what I THINK. But what its DONE.

      Starting a new thread regarding mounting my 2014 OEM wheels to my 2026

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Love the look. I'm a SCSB lover myself.    Two items. 1.) A spacer changes scrub radius but this also changes when we use wheels of different offsets. A little isn't a big deal. 2.) Steel wheels, alloy wheels all have different thickness. Same effect on the stud and lug nut as a spacer. When hub centric the wheel isn't supported by the stud. It's supported by the hub. The stud just keeps it all together.

      2016 Sierra 5.3L L83 new injectors now runs rich.

      By JAI3 · Posted

      I had a evap sol go bad a couple weeks ago. . I replaced it.  While watching live data at the time I saw I had some cylinder 1 misfires. No MIL but on live data I could see ~50 at startup and about 70 more after an hour a drive all on cyl 1.  I also noticed that the LTFT were -5% to -15% always.  And that bank 2 is always -3% richer than bank 1. Even across all driving modes, city, highway, etc it’s always 3% richer than bank 1. So I start with the misfire. Swapped coil, plug, and plug wires from 1 to 3. No follow. I got an Injector reseal kit, pulled the D/s injector rail, swapped #1 and #3 injectors, resealed them, reinstalled and retested.  The misfire followed to 3. So I ordered and replaced all 8 injectors, spark plugs, and plug wires. Also replaced the 1 time use fuel pipes under the intake manifold.  Injectors that were in the truck since new were  Part # 12668390.  I replaced them with # 12742701 Got from RockAuto. Pretty certain they’re genuine and the correct ones. I called a friend at a parts store who told me “the 12742701 were the correct superseded part # for the originals I was replacing”. So started truck after replacing all that and it’s running -15 - -30 LTFTs. I reset the fuel trims with GDS2 and drove it for a 60 miles trip each way. There have been no changes in the LTFTs.  I checked if the HPFP was leaking into the crankcase. I removed the pvc and watched the trims. No difference.  I checked the alcohol content and it was at 10%  I’m out of ideas here. Truck seems to run great. Just always rich on the fuel trims.  Anyone with any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.  I ran an injector balance test just for the heck of it and it came back this. I’m confused.  I have gds2 and some other diag tools if anyone knows of anything I should test next.
