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.

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?
