In the market for a 2014 Sierra 6.2, questions.

So I am kinda in a bind and looking for some opinions.

 

 

I have been looking at the '14 Sierra for quite sometime. I was currently driving a car and wasn't needing trailering ability much so the farm vehicle was working out. My plan was to pick up the 2014 in a few months when some nice rebates came out. I wanted the (LTZ,Crew,All-Terrain,Cooled Seats, Sunroof, 4X4, 6.2 and I realize the 6.2 isn't starting to be built until the end of the month)

 

I was in no hurry for something new until.....

 

Some chick driving an older model F150 destroyed my car yesterday.

 

 

I do some traveling on the weekends and the farm truck and my sidekick just aren't made for the trips (I can make a shuffle around with the family to make things happen for a little while). I also really am not into paying MSRP on a 2014 6.2 right now but I don't want to settle for less in a new truck as that is what I want and I will be keeping it for a while.

 

So, how long am I looking until I will be able to budge off the MSRP of something around 49,000? Is it possible to pick one up for $41,000?

 

Now I am going to miss out on the 1,000 and 750 dollar trade in credits which is real unfortunate.

 

 

I'm just looking for some opinions on how long I need to prepare for a waitout for some kind of a decent deal on the truck. I don't want to just burn $8,000 dollars if a 6 month holdout will save me that.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh, and here's the damaged car just for the heck of it.

They're not going to be discounting these trucks much at all for the first year, and they CERTAINLY won't be discounting the top of the line models w/ the 6.2

 

Good luck getting one though, get in line so to speak...

I noticed that Laura Buick GMC was selling some of the 5.3L's for around 8,000 off. I didn't know if it was some gimmick or not. What would be a realistic discount for me to expect off of one MSRP $50,000?

 

I don't know if it helps, but I am in Arkansas where it's truck country. Every dealer around me has 30+ '14's always on the lot. I live around 115,000 people with three GMC dealerships in a 30 mile radius.

Welcome to the forum. Glad your ok. No idea on how long you have to wait, but don't settle.

 

 

Any idea on the word if the 6.2s are still going to start production on the 29th?

You won't be able to get cooled seats with the all terrain

I actually was making fun of the cooled seats until I drove one and it was nice not having your back sweat.

 

I drove a local one (although it was maroon and not my favorite color, and a 5.3) but it was allterrain and had cooled seats. It was the demo so maybe it was some kind of special setup.

 

I'm pretty sure it was all terrain.

 

 

EDIT:

I'm sure you know a lot more than me about them, so maybe I am missing something, but their website says that "There are no conflicts resulting from this choice." when I select it. Maybe they just changed it or something?? Now you've got me curious!

Oh, and what kind of rebates do you guys know about that I can use?

 

I know I have a Farm Bureau - 1,500

Current - 1,000

 

My parents get private offer GM Card discounts and right now one of them is on the counter for 1,500 but can I use those, or do they have to be on the title if I receive that discount? Oh, and whatever they have built up in points which I believe is around 1,000.

 

 

I don't want to be a dick and want to do the right thing so is it a bad move to throw the 1,500 farm bureau and if applicable the Private offer rebates out at the last possible minute?

Just called a local dealer for the heck of it. Apparently you can get cooled with All-Terrain and starting at the end of the month you can get the colored bumper with the CornerStep too (which doesn't matter to me).

 

 

Oh, and on the website it says "Off-Road Suspension Package - $0" and you can check it where it stays no charge. Is that redundant to All-Terrain Package and just not setup to grey out when selected or something?

Ktreece,

 

I did some research on the Farm Bureau Credit rebate a few weeks back Be careful, I don't think you can combine the $1,500 GM private offer AND the Farm Bureau private offer.

http://www.texasfarmbureau.org/newsmanager/templates/Benefits.aspx?articleid=10735&zoneid=161

"Farm Bureau's Private Offer does not stack with other Private Offers, such as Owner Loyalty"

 

http://www.texasfarmbureau.org/benefits/GM_Announcement.pdf

"The Farm Bureau discount is stackable with some incentives and non-stackable with

others. See dealership for full details."

 

Also, be careful, depending on the truck you want the Farm Bureau may only give you $500 the standard discount. If you want a reg cab, or heavy duty you get the $1,500.

 

Just a heads up.

 

Also, DO NOT tell the salesman you have G.M points from the credit card. Also, I wouldn't even tell them about the private offer from GM. For you to get the very best deal, you need the salesman to think you're not getting much rebates and you say "I just can't pay that much"

 

Best of luck to you!

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      I went another direction after losing a trailer tire, thanks to not being able to access air at ANY of the 5 gas stations and garages I stopped at prior, with a Toyota Tacoma onboard, 50 miles from the Canadian border. They were either out of order, access was blocked, or the hose a few feet too short and I couldn't get any closer without risking damage to someone's property.   https://postimg.cc/gallery/X5QJ55w
