Price paid?

philbilly20 · December 15, 2014

It's crazy because I've had my eye on them for a few weeks now. They literally have 15+ 2015 Denali 6.2L 4x4's with all the extra's for under $50,000. That's insane!

When I first started looking it was during the Black Friday deals and they had a loaded 6.2 2014 denali for 38xxx but it sold the first few hours it went on sale -_-

I was a bad buyer and didn't haggle at all, called and emailed multiple times to confirm internet price. Figured since they came off that much it was useless/jerkish to haggle more. Very friendly people too, never even brought up the extended warranty which makes me happy buyer lol remember going in with my parents as a little kid to buy their 04 Yukon and my dad getting so flustered about them not dropping the extended warranty. When I was there on a Monday there had to have been about 20 or so other people buying vehicles(mainly trucks) so they are really pumping out the inventory. Made me reassured about the price too, so many people buying there, you can also look up reviews online from independent sources to see other peoples buying experiences.

Thanks for the info. I'm just a couple hours from Laura. I emailed a few times with so-so service and I understand they are selling trucks every day so anything short of "show up at the lot and talk to us" might not get the expedient service I'd always like. I'm going to call the day before I go and try to verify some trucks are in stock. The way it sounds like they move trucks I'm almost worried they'd sell the 3 I'd choose between by the time I got there.

Anyone try and negotiate with their dealer based on the prices at the Laura dealership? I don't see why they can't match those prices or at least get real close...wonder what it costs to have a truck delivered to Texas, 1k?

I would bet between $500 and $1000. I got a quote a few months ago from Florida to New Hampshire and it was $600. I would assume no trade if having it delivered, but I think there is a RAM dealership in NC that will deliver to your house as well as pick up your trade. It is always worth an ask what Laura could do for you.

The dealers around me laughed and said they were fake, could get within 4k and that was it. I'm guessing Laura is moving so many in and out, which they are, watched their site for a month and trucks didn't last long, that they can afford to price them like that.

Similar experience here as well. Mine was "they won't give you anything for your trade, that is where they make up the difference". I've been driving the same used vehicle for 10 years, it isn't worth much anywhere. I said "Wow, you'll give me $6k for my 1999 GMC Jimmy? Then the excuses really started rolling. I will give them one last opportunity before I make the drive. Unlikely they'll do it but I will give it a shot to save the drive. I don't expect them to bite.

2015 SLT Z71 Crew cab with the 5.3 loaded.

MSRP was just over 55k, the dealer had some type of adjustment for local area I think it was? I don't have the paperwork handy, but that was around 2k or so.

GM supplier discount brought it down to 48.8

3500 in bonus cash/rebates brought it to 45.3 before TTL fees.

I felt like it was a solid deal.

Yea that excuse about the trade is lame. Unless somewhere it says the price is only valid if you have a vehicle to trade in.. I'm sure the price is the same with or without a trade in.. I dunno though.

A GMC dealer is calling me when they get a 15 AT in. I'm curious to hear what they have to say.

Laura's pricing "seems" to include fewer nonsensical discounts added in, but one of them is $1000 trade assist, so add $1k to the price if you aren't trading anything is what I gather. You'd think they'd give me a $1k for not making them deal with my ragged out trades.

I am in seattle and tried to get a deal with them but couldn't because they said those prices don't apply if you credit isn't perfect. I thought it was a little odd because my credit isn't that bad. They basically marked the price up about 2k, which was still a pretty good deal but I'm to far away.

So I just went around to all my local dealers and asked why they couldn't meet or get close to those prices, why make me fly to chicago when they could have my business. I found one dealer that got me to $50,8xx with gm rebate for a loaded black on black denali short crew cab with the sunroof, brake controller, driver alert and drop down blueray player. Went and placed the order yesterday and the order will be put in this weekend.

Laura does have the 1000 trade assist and then if I factor in the cost of flying in then either shipping or driving the car back, under 51k from a local dealer seems like a great deal. Hopefully the gm rebates will still be there when the truck comes and with my usaa rebate I will be right at 50k for the truck.

Can't wait

Were they not allowing you to just mail them a check or show up with a check? Did they say you had to finance through them?

No they said I could get my own financing and bring a check. They did say that I had to show up in person to sign the paperwork and they couldn't help with shipping the truck. They couldn't put the truck on the shipping trailer

So I believe their prices are right, you just add the 1k trade if you are not trading in anything

I would lock in your price with your dealer now. These incentives probably won't be around by the time your truck comes in..I am pretty confident you can agree to am price now regardless of what is available when your truck comes..
