Visit edmunds.com. There you can speck a truck out with options. You can get the invoice price. GM has a 3% holdback amount which you can always negotiate with. Don't over pay.

What is a holdback amount? Invoice + 3%?

MSRP minus shipping times .03%. So a $50,000 truck equals $1500 of holdback. Some dealers will not dive into this if a truck has been on the lot for a while. If you special order or the truck just hit the ground, you can negotiate some of this. It's how dealers sell behind invoice.

If your still looking really good deals now. Texas package is loaded pretty good. Id seen regular GMC SLE in Houston area @ 27000. Check on line in Houston and Conroe. You can use their prices to get your local dealer to come down.

Yep. I am an internet sales manager for a dealership in Oklahoma.

Looking at your avatar, you work at Glover. Most of their stock is photographed in that room.

This is how I got so much off my purchase. It was on the lot around 7 days.

I am a dealer in Canada, I assume the programs are very similar in the US as they are here. The supplier discount changed this year and has been adjusted to dealer invoice (you pay what the dealer pays), the dealer collects a small fee from general motors for the sale of the vehicle; however they can not pass it along to you, therefor they will most likely stay firm on the sale price of the truck, just make sure you are getting all incentives, they most likely have to show you all current incentives because of the supplier program anyway. Your best bet it try to work on the trade value and try to get them as high as possible once they give you their best number go a few hundred more and tell them that will seal the deal. also make sure you get a full tank of fuel!

I'm really fighting myself right now not to drive out to Houston and buy this one truck I found. They have what I want (+ extra options) with 10K of MSRP almost 25% off MSRP. By far the best price I've seen.

I'm just fighting myself because if I wait a year from now I'll be in a better financial situation and I just dropped almost $900 to get my Saturn fixed.

 

But if I could find that damn private 1K offer from last month and get them to give me enough to cover the TTL for my Saturn I'd basically be at exactly 30K where I wanted to be. Which for that truck with those options is a pretty damn good deal.

Are there no good dealers in San Antonio that you have to go all the way to Houston?

 

Another option is to wait a few months. The 15's will be here and 14's will have better deals.

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By Atlas · Posted

      No doubt... But, as someone who doesn't pay for his services, but who has provided a few views/clicks on his Youtube platform, the data around the Mobil oil testing I think does have some value including to "freeloaders" like me.   A lot of what he's doing is likely showing the OE's work in their oil selection, something that many of us had kind of assumed was true all along, a good balance of both excellent protection and efficiency.

      Lake Speed is drumming up business for his company just by being in the spot-light so he has a vested interest in stoking the 0W-20 fire.  IMO

      I knew when I bought my truck that it had off road hill decent or craw control or whatever they call it and rolled my eyes at that but it gets throw on with other options my truck has, I just never had a heads up if the highway speed regular cruise setting had anything to do with the brakes and that took me by surprise. If you've ever been to the top of Pikes Peak and watched those ahead of you on the way down with their brake lights on constantly, one can guess they are probably not gearing down or not enough anyway if their vehicle will allow and a good reason their is a brake check spot part way down where they use an infra red heat gun to check how hot ones brakes are front and rear.    Your right that once one gets out of the front range by Denver and I've not been on that stretch of 285 between Denver and Fairplay myself but I know its high and Fairplay at 10000 feet, Buena Vista at 8000, it drops a bit from there but then your going back up and over the 11000 pass and Durango is at 6500 . So yes your definitely right that 6500 and a lot higher is the theme of going anywhere out in that direction from Denver but hey, the down hill sections give fantastic fuel mileage !.    I don't even look at the fuel pumps for what premium costs here, since I live on a farm and up to this point get fuel delivered I am rarely in front of a fuel pump and when I am, I am often using card lock bulk fuel stations so it tells me what the price is AFTER I buy the fuel. Looking up on gas buddy and converting to US gallons but in Canadian dollars, regular on average of the prices listed was around 5.95 and premium is around 7.00 . That was one reason I did not go for the 6.2 half ton aside from its lack of carrying/towing if one was going by the rule of using premium fuel and until recently one could only buy regular farm gas if playing the few cents off game for farm dyed fuel for a "farm licensed pickup". But yes I hear you on the fuel price difference and like the diesel theme with it often being more expensive then gas it doesn't have quite the charm to it either as it once did although right now here for some reason the price of diesel has come down more so its now inline with the price of regular gas.

      I agree with this assessment. As you know I’m testing longevity with vehicles for the first time. I have a few vehicles I passed to kids and grandkids. We’re all past 100K miles some approaching 170K. I’m the only one doing 5k oil changes. The rest whatever the minder says. I’m the only one doing frequent transmission service. My odyssey the trip vehicle at 200K will be finished as a trip vehicle. I recently changed to high mileage oil, Valvoline. I can’t get past the fact that all manufacturers want to claim long service life. I just don’t make sense that they would go with low weight oil for mileage. While sacrificing longevity.

      There's absolutely a mountain of profit in catering to the "I do my own research" crowd, people who are certain they know better. And I don't mean there isn't data to support that 0w40 produces less wear product than 0w20 in an engine like the 3.0 Duramax, that only feeds them the assurance they need. Again, my whole thing with oil selection is, sure, 0w40 or 0w30 produces less wear product. Are we talking the difference between the engine lasting only 100k versus 200k? Or are we talking more like, if the engine will already go 350k on a good 0w20 regimen recommended by the OE, is using 0w40 going to get us to 355k, assuming we can even get the rest of the truck to last that long, meanwhile sacrificing the first 5y, 100k in powertrain warranty. The answer isn't easy, there are tradeoffs.   I willfully use 0w20 Dexos D for this reason, knowing that a 0w40 will produce slightly less wear. I don't believe the delta in wear product is meaningful over the lifetime of the engine, and I place much more importance on driving style and overall feeding and care of the engine as a whole. It's the mentality that someone can abstain from alcohol their whole life which is an amazing boost to health by itself, theoretically. But if they're sedentary, that lifestyle choice will most likely kill them young despite their other, concerted efforts. Maybe someone doesn't drink AND they are the perfect picture of health and activity AND they use 0w40 AND they treat their engine perfectly. If living until 130 years is the goal, sure, do that. But it's going to be a really old truck falling apart around a good engine for that last 30 years, without a doubt.   I watched Demonworks' other video on the 100k+ 3.0 Duramax that had dealer 0w20 changes on what appears to be OLM-prescribed intervals (8-10k).   The QR codes are still present and readable on the main bearings. That's how little wear it has.   That's not proof that anyone else should stick to 0w20, but it's confirmation, for me, that 0w20 is perfectly acceptable to use in these engines.
