Aged Inventory Incentives?


Recommended Posts

Posted

So I've been driving through lots, kicking around the idea of pulling the trigger on a '15 GMC CC Denali. I've noticed that there's some trucks that have *much* higher mark downs than others (to the point that they're over $1K-$2K under invoice), and from what I can tell, it's the oldest stock. I'm aware of the advertised $3,500 in consumer cash / bonus cash, but there must be more incentives available outside of that.

 

Does anyone know what hidden incentives are on old stock (aged inventory)?

 

I'm trying to make sure that I've completely educated before taking the plunge.

 

Thanks!

Im interested in this as well, my dealer I called about a Denali online told me he just lowered the price of the one I was looking at and its pretty much as low as he can go. I noticed the pictures online had dates on them from a digital camera of almost a year ago...so that truck has been sitting on their lot a whole year! Surely they would come off it more but I havent gone in for the test drive yet so I dont know. Would love to know ahead of time because hes like 50 miles away.

3 weeks ago I went to buy a 2015 Silverado LT C/C 4x4 that was marked-down by about $8k. The salesman (same one I ALWAYS go to) told me they had 2 leftover 2014s! Long story short, I bought a much nicer 2014 Crew Cab LTZ Z-71 2LZ Silverado for $40,400--when the sticker price was originally $52,300--and they even threw-in the window vent visors and sprayed-in bed liner too! So I'd say there IS some incentive to get a 2014 if possible. They have to want those things gone, with the 2016s on the way!

I've only looked at 2015s, but my experience has been that there's one or two that have deep discounts, and if I ask about another truck with a different color or a different option, the discounts won't always apply. They're all 5SA (Denali) trim. The differences have been things like color. The only common denominator that I've noticed is older VINs on units with the discounts. I haven't seen any 2014s on the dealer lots around here, but would assume they'd have at least the same discount or more than the aged 2015s..

It isn't a Denali or HC but I just got a '15 LT CC with Bose and 20" rims. MSRP $48,000 and paid $35,500 with accessories before taxes and trade. It was on the lot less than 45 days when I bought it, certainly not old inventory. A motivated dealer will deal on any truck on the lot.

I went in Aug 31 to buy one at the end of the month, and found the one I wanted (4x4 sierra SLT all-terrain) sticker-ed at ~54.5K. the best they could do was ~47K. But the finance manager, said "come back tomorrow, because it the 1st, and I will place the one you want on the incentive list", then I go in the next day and get 20% off, and paid ~43.6. Got about ~11K, in just 1 day, because the finance manager gave me this info. Not sure what current incentives are.

 

but remember, they say "longest on the lot" but they can choose the ones they want to tag for the incentives. In other words, tag it, or I go somewhere else. And they did!!!

 

Hope this helps.

Awesome deal you got dude !

DW where are you looking? I think maybe it depends on a regional thing also based on amount of inventory on hand. Some dealers around here are getting pretty lean on their 15's especially the denalis so they may not have a lot of incentive to push one out the door if they only have one or two left.

When I bought mine I went out of town to buy looking for the best deal. The dealer told me he had 6 and could put the one I wanted on that list. It did have a March build date but they CAN put that incentive on whatever truck they want. Knowledge is power and will use this knowledge next time I'm in the market.

July 31 I picked up a 2015 crew 4x4 Z71, White diamond, LT2, Leather, running boards, bed liner, ect. Stickered $50,200 and paid $35,200.

Huh????

 

$15,000 off a 2015? Is that including your trade? I've NEVER heard of a discount that deep before. Especially since white diamond is an extra $1k alone...

Priced a '15 CC LTZ Z71 last week with about everything short of the moonroof and the rear entertainment package from what I could see, had been on the lot for over 200 days, they got it down to $38,500. I told them I wouldn't even negotiate a price over $40k, was surprised they went that low.

What was MSRP on that?

    • It is possible to add your own 12v outlet to your truck.  Check out this video:   I verified via GM Upfitters that pin 31 is the same on the 1500 trucks.  The wire is GM part number 84779405.   You can get the GM 12v outlet from Amazon  https://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Accessory-Receptacle-25774623-13549530/dp/B0F1H9YRGF EWAY 12 Volt Power Adapter for GM   https://www.amazon.com/EWAY-Chevrolet-Silverado-Cigarette-Ignition/dp/B0915RRW6Q/ref=sr_1_1?   I just haven't figured out a good place to put the 12v outlet in my truck.   Some people are getting USB-C to 12V adapters  https://www.amazon.com/WYMECT-Cigarette-Lighter-Socket-Adapter/dp/B0F87WNQKB/ref=sr_1_1_sspa? Not sure if they provide the correct amperage that a device like a tire inflator would need.  
    • Thanks; I looked there a few minutes, and I think I can find something. I really never looked there, as I thought it was stuff like PTO/aftermarket bodies/accessories like snow plows.
    • This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.  
    • 2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.  
    • Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉
