GM rebates/incentives

hurricanoday · February 6, 2015

I have a 2015 Sierra Denali on order and it is at 4000 which is available to ship. My question is where can I see what rebates are available? I have gone to gms website and it shows nothing for sierra denali but then I go to Laura GMC website which states there is a 1500 trade assist and 1000 gm loyality if you own another gmc which I do. But none of this is listed on the gmc site

This has been the case since I ordered it, the gm site doesn't really say anything I would just check Laura to see what was available for that month. Am I looking at the right place? Or is this stuff just advertised at the dealer?

IN ADDITION TO THE PRICE LISTED THERE IS $1000 GM LOYALTY INCENTIVE AVAILABLE TO CURRENT OWNERS/LESSEES OF A 1999 OR NEWER BUICK, GMC, CHEVROLET, CADILLAC, SATURN, HUMMER, PONTIAC OR OLDSMOBILE- THIS $1000 COMES OFF THE PRICE ADVERTISED

I think the rebates and web site this month are confusing in "Truck Month". Have been looking at a 2014 Silverado which can come with up to $8000 in discounts, but that only applies to certain models in stock the longest - you can't tell which specific trucks it applies to. I know this is not helping to answer your question, but the web site is not very good this month. I went to the GMC truck site and don't see anything really for the 2015 Denali.

Ads and such can be deceiving as it has to deal with region, model, and can be specific.

The incentives don't appear to be very good this month, aside from the GM card topoff. I thought, in the past, that February was one of the best months for incentives? Maybe March will be better? My truck is scheduled to be built next week. It'll be on the bubble of arriving late Feb. At what point do the dealers become aware of the next month's available incentives?

ctownson · February 6, 2015

I think the dealers only know a day or so in advance, depending on what day of the week the current incentives end (usually on a Monday). Did you get a top-off offer on the GM Card - how much was it?

On a newer model you can typically expect less of a rebate and incentives. It also gets tricky as rebates expire. Sometimes whats offered at time of order vs delivery can be different as well. Lots of times GM/dealer will honor whats promised at order if its less than whats avilable at delivery.

One weird thing is the truck I have now I leased it but ordered from the factory, they couldnt guarentee the lease rate 6 weeks out, which was kind of weird.

I purchased on Monday of this week (2/2). Was waiting to see if the incentives were any better this month than last. They are the exact same, $3,500 total (that's with the GM loyalty cash of $1,000). That's on a fully loaded 2015 SLT Z71 that was in stock 1 day (they just rolled it off the truck!). MSRP $52,860, dealer price $47,900 - $3.500 incentives = $44,400 + dealer installed spray-in bedliner (+$400) = $44,800 +TTL. That's a total discount of $8,460. I think that's a fair deal.

If you are a USAA member you get a little more, ($100 - $500), or if you are a Farm Bureau member you get another $500. It's worth joining the Farm Bureau (anyone can join) for the $40 - $50 bucks to get the additional $500 rebate. It may not work in conjunction with the GM Loyalty Cash though. Check first.

But that's it right now. No Truck Month deals, no Black Friday $15,000 off MSRP, etc.

I ignore the "trade assist" discount from any and ALL dealership advertisements. In this case, if Laura is offering $1000, then just add that back onto the advertised price, that will give you a more realistic number. Reason for ingoring it???? If you have no trade, you don't get it. If you do have a trade, you DON'T get your trade plus an extra $1000, they just guarantee that you will get at least that much for your trade...

the only way a "trade Assist" allowance would mean any savings off of the price would be if you traded in an old P.O.S. that was only worth a couple hundred in trade. Then you would get the minimum $1000 allowance.

Bottom line, don't take into account the trade allownace at all in the final price and if their final price has it already figured in, add it back to get a real price.

USAA is 700 bucks. But you have to be member, which means you are a vet or your parent was a vet.

The USAA cannot be combined with other offers unfortunately.

I don't want to hijack this thread but there is currently a healthy incentive on select 2014 Crew Cab Silverado 1500s. My local dealerships have a few of these and are showing up to $8.500 discounts on their websites (before trade allowances). I know some people had bad vibration problems with the 14s and I researched a little to see what new features were included in the 15s but would people shy away from buying these remaining 14s?

Based on the above comment by 2Speed, is it likely a buyer could get a similar discount off of a 15 Crew Cab 1500 through straight negotiations? I haven't looked at invoice amounts yet on any of these so I don't have a feel for typical negotiated discounts. Negotiations aren't really my strong suit.

I was topped off to $2000. It expires 3/2.

ctownson · February 6, 2015

BeauTie, where are you located? I am trying to find some of these discounted trucks to look at.

hurricanoday · February 6, 2015

I got the truck for 53250 before rebates, just trying to figure out what the current rebates are and it is pretty confusing.... Hoping to get it for right around 50k with gm/usaa rebate plus tax/license. Pretty sure it will ship and be delivered before 3/2.

Pissed it would have been over 3k in rebates if it came in jan.

ctownson · February 6, 2015

Rebates are not very good right now in my opinion unless you can find one of the "truck month" or "presidents day" specials. Talked to a dealer today and he said they had one truck that qualified for that discount and it sold yesterday.
