Will GM EVER offer 20% off the 2500HD ?


Recommended Posts

Posted

As we all have seen this month, the 2015 1500's were nationally advertised at 20% off MSRP.

 

Will we ever see the 2500 HD's offered at such a great deal ?

 

As I posted here before, for the most part here in New England getting 10-15% off at year end (left over) is about as good as I can find ...

 

And what will Laura's Pricing look like if that happens ? :

They rarely give good discounts on 2500's and 3500's... You'll just have to find a dealer that's ready to make a deal... I amazingly got about 15k off sticker on mine

Have to look hard, when I bought mine they were offering a massive discount on a few 2014s they had on the lot. In the area of 30% off! Granted this is Canada and everything is more expensive here, especially vehicles.

Well I figure that the 1/2 ton prices are higher than they should be anyways because they're more in demand. That's partly why they can still make money off of a bunch of incentives on a 1/2 ton. Also if you think about it, you get more for what you pay for with a 3/4 or 1 ton. Not meaning you just get more, but you just get a better deal overall with a 3/4 or 1 ton over a 1/2 ton when comparing price with capability. Sometimes I have a hard time explaining something so I'm sorry if I'm being confusing lol.

They don't usually advertise it. A lot of people are fine paying 60-65K for a truck if the 1/2 tons are selling for only 10-15K less. That being said; they will deal on the trucks you just have to ask for it. I got right at 20% off on 2015 and the 2012 I got over that. Know what you are willing to pay and be prepared to walk away from the deal if they won't give you what you want.

Do you guys know of any other dealers that sell lifted trucks, like Laura GMC does? I'm always shopping.....or more like dreaming, haha.

I paid true GMS minus all rebates at time of pick up (ordered), I tried to get dealer to split holdback with me but was a no go, next time he won't get off so easy. Dealer owner is friend of friend.

 

Dealer holdback was $1500 and they had $500 in financing in it before I cut the check and that was for a super fast factory to dealer.

Haggle a little and price can be 20% off. Right now, dealers near me are posting $5000-$6000 off on 2500 MSRP's right on their websites. The repeat GM buyer incentive is around $2500 now. There is an additional $1000 off for early build date 2500's. That adds up alone to $8500-$9500 off the MSRP. That is in the 20% off ballpark on a $47K-$48K MSRP.

 

This is why I am in talks about a 2015 2500 LT now with my dealer.

Whats the good & bad about the earlier & later 2015's ?

According to the dealer I am talking with about a 2500, the $1000 additional has more to do with how long the pickup has been out "in the system" so to speak. Say, it was built last spring. It has been sitting around long enough to qualify for the additional money off the price. Doesn't seem to mean anything more than that. I am not sure what the cutoff dates and other specifics are for a 2500 to qualify for the additional $1K off. Any dealer would know.

Just got online on the website of another dealer near me. 2015 2500HD, LT and Z71, heated seats, and all the other little goodies.... MSRP $47,105. Buy it now price on the site.... $37,999. $9106 off the MSRP. And that is just their up front pricing on the website. Bet a serious buyer could beat that a little.

 

Get the idea they are trying to move these pickups?

    • 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.          
    • 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.  
    • 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.
