Purchased my 2018 Chevy Silverado double LT allstar cab 5.3 at MacMulkin Chevrolet.

 

Sticker price was $45,000, MacMulkin price $40,000

 

They advertised the truck for $29,800 (of course there was no way to get that for most people). But they were pretty damn good there. They knocked $6,000 off with GM rebates (trade in rebate, finance rebate). Then they gave me a "lease rebate" of $1,500, which brought it down to $33,500. They were offering an additional $3,000 if you were a GM lease customer (I wasn't) and a military rebate of maybe $500.

 

I also had to finance through GM for at least three months, which gave me a $1,500 rebate. After three months I can refince at a lower rate with my local bank (GM finance is 6% on a 72 month new car loan).

 

All in all I got what I wanted, we were still off in price so they upped my trade by $3,000. I was out the door at $25,000.

Sounds like one hell of a deal!  Post pics when you can!  I bought a 2017 LT last year and absolutely love it.

I still haven't discovered how to post a picture without it going sideways. Lol.

 

But so far I've driven the thing 400 miles since I picked it up Sunday. Love it. Managed to average 21mpg on my first tank so far. I'm hoping I can average 24mpg a week (I drive like an old lady).

You don't have to wait 3 months. Just payed mine off after a month and a half.

That would be damn near impossible to know. Too many GM dealer incentives/kick backs

Does anyone know the true mark up on the GMC Sierra 1500's??

You mean from actual cost? No way would GM let that out. 

 

Invoice to MSRP is easy to get. I have the invoice to a truck identical to mine from when I tried to order it. Invoice was a lot higher then I expected. And I got the real invoice not the customer version that has a markup in it. 38,000 vs 44,000.

Looking to upgrade after 10 years from my 08 GMC CC 4x4 5.3 4-speed SLT. Local dealer has a DEMO 18 Chevy LT 5.3 4x4 6-speed leather bench seats Allstar plus package with 3800 mi for just under 39k. 14k off sticker. Decent price?

Sorry if this post doesn't belong here. The financing, rebates page keeps looping back to here. Mod feel free to move. 

-My question is do any of you guys feel the incentives will get any better on the 2018 Silverados? My lease is up in three months and just wondering if I'd be better off to wait a bit longer for better incentives or just go ahead and re-lease now. There is currently the incentive for Pull Ahead Lease which would still be there if needed in two months. I am over my milage allowed by about 3k currently, but the dealer says they will absorb that. 

Any insight will be greatly appreciated.

    • Through the years it hasn't been my typical method as I tried to drop oil on an engine that was hot from having been worked, however that was not always practical and had to fire up a unit and let it warm up reasonably well and drop the oil when I had the time to do it but am referring to not only vehicles but a variety of farm equipment and highway tractors etc. However on a vehicle where one is crawling under it and the exhaust is nearby to ones body and if wanting to pull the plug without danger of being hit with boiling hot oil or attempting to remove a HOT oil filter, its sure safer and easier to not have everything smoking hot and can remove the filter right away when under the vehicle and let it all drain. Of course its not the end of the world if a bit of oil stays in the engine that might have eventually found its way out, I like to get out as much as possible but any oil changes that take place in shops would rarely be sitting around for very long at all before the plug is thrown back in and filter slapped on and oil poured in and sent out the door quick like. There would be very little time spent ( assuming they even did it ) in starting the engine with oil to fill the filter, then waiting to verify the level on the stick. A good reason to check ones oil level shortly after a shop changed the oil on a vehicle just to make sure its correct and to look under for any oil around the drain plug or filter. 
    • Cool to see another Vermonter!
    • I have changed oil and filter for years by starting a cold engine to warm oil up, let it run 5-10 minutes depending on temperature. Drain until it starts dripping, refill with quantity from owners manual or get it close.   
    • I changed the factory fill oil in the rear diff of my truck for the first time today and the miles is close to 9000 on the truck. There was a lot of fines on the magnet, a very thick layer but working it through my fingers it all felt like mush and as most know it appears like graphite, so no surprise chunks anyway. Certainly was time to do it from my thinking and could have been done sooner but the oil didn't look awful but sure wasn't new looking and never expected it to either. I did use some solvent to help me clean out the bottom area of the axle housing, just get any other stuff settled at the bottom washed and wiped out of the housing for the bit of effort it takes. I used Amsoil Severe Gear 75W90 in the easy packs to try out what they are like and I used up 4 packs and didn't spill much at all in the process but did take all four of the packs and go to the work bench and emptied them into a measuring container and there certainly was some in them that added up to something, then poured that into one of the easy packs and squirted in what I could get out of it. I would say the level is within 1/8th of an inch of being level with the threads at the fill plug so just the perfect amount. Once again, more than what GM says the fill volume is but computes with what others are adding to their rear diffs as well.
