Personally I will never finance with a dealership again, had a terribly bad experience with a Jeep dealership and I stick to my credit union. They have always had the best rates and they offer me "discounts" if I maintain a certain balance in my savings account with them, or if I have a direct deposit every month, etc. they actually give me a certain percentage off. I refinanced my 2014 with a new credit union when I relocated to Texas around 6 months ago and they brought my payment down by $20 a month and actually knocked several months off of my overall loan term. To say I was happy with the results is an understatement. 

 

Now I will say my father just took advantage of the HUGE discounts they were/are giving on the 2018 SLT's and he financed with his credit union and the only "incentive" they couldn't offer him was the GM Down Payment Assistance since you had to finance through GM to get that one. Sticker price around $56,000 and incentives had it down to $38,950, he traded in his 15 GMC, for a great price, paid $40,950 including TTL. Financed around $28k and lowered his monthly payments. They even put a leveling kit on and switched over his 33's, back seat storage box, and bed cover. Pretty good deal in my book!

I financed my 18 with GM to get a 5,000 rebate. Never made the first payment to GM. Refinanced at my local cu after about 3 weeks. As long as there is no prepayment penalty in the contract it shouldnt

Just bought my '18 crew cab Z71 w/ All Star Edition and a couple of options.  Ended up around $34,500 with more than $12,000 in various rebates and incentives.  The financing incentive was good for $1,000.  The rate was terrible, but the contract does not have any pre-payment penalties so I'll be transferring the loan to my own lender.  I also redeemed some GM card points.  All in all I thought it was a fair deal...should only get hotter as the year winds down and 19's are rolled out.  I'd say November/December this year we'll see some serious discounts.

What do you mean?  Vehicle options?  That's exactly what I wanted.  Same bundle of discounts applied to LTZ's...

I think he means less trucks to choose from later in the year when incentives might be better. 

I did this at the end of '17 with my '17 LTZ Z71.  I bought it December 18th and got pretty much everything but the sunroof.  $55K MSRP I paid $39K.

The “must make 3mo’s payments” before refinance is false. I asked where it was in the contract and the guy had to leave the room and speak with a higher up. Came back and said THEY get the kick back after that time (or they “lose” money). Called GM to verify my terms and no penalty. Refinanced 3 weeks later. Don’t fall for it.

Does anyone have insight into what next months or possibly Labor Day rebates will be? Last months rebates on the LT All Stars and the SLT Premium Plus models were quite a bit better than what has been offered this month by GM.

I just picked up a 2018 1500 CCSB SLT Prem Plus with a few added options, MSRP was $57,540. I paid $45,500. I had to do the GM financial for some of it. But getting ready to refinance before my first payment.

This is some interesting timing as I was literally looking at two separate chevy websites that show the discount breakdowns on vehicles and both of them just stopped showing the discounts. The chevy websites must auto update and be tied into a system directly. Any dealer/sales people know more info on this?

Anyone know the GMF rates for September?  I financed through GMF to get the $1,000 incentive when I bought my ‘18 SLT on Saturday and was told 6.75% was the best they can do.  I have over an 830 credit score so I should have been eligible for the top rate they have.

 

Any info would be appreciated.  I plan to refi or just pay it off, but want to know if I got hosed in F&I.  Thanks all!

If your FICO score is 830, you could get a much better rate with a Credit Union. Many credit unions online have less than 3.5 % APR.

I know, but I wanted the $1k down payment assistance.  Just wondering if the FI guy charged a higher rate than needed??

That’s pretty high, pretty sure I got 4.99% with a FICO around 780. I’d just beat them up on the truck price and then use GM financial (for the rebate), then refinance after.

Still, right now, you could apply to a Credit Union and get a much better rate. I use one is called Digital Federal Credit Union. I think their rate today is 3.49%

And there is one for the military or family of the military called Pentagon Federal Credit Union. For new vehicles, 1.99%...can't beat that.

Think you got hosed a little. I have 785 and was told 5.79 was their best rate. At the table I said I wouldn’t do that rate and they said they had a “coupon” to lower it to 4.79. The guy later said that they basically just lowered it to take a lesser commission to make me happy. So they do indeed have that ability. 

 

None of it it really mattered since I planned to refi but I wanted a back up plan just Incase I had to wait a while to find a good rate. 2 weeks later I’m at 3.5 with a local bank. 

 

Edit: I still screwed myself a bit with the better deals now being offered “September.” I could have saved another 2 grand by waiting a month. Sheesh

Thank you guys for your reply!  It confirms I got screwed a little.  I will be paying off this loan ASAP as I don’t owe them any favors at this point.  Thanks again!!

My Mazda dealer was honest on that. I made money off financing it, iand they just started told me to hold off for so many months so everyone was happy. Well, except Chase, who gave me $500 to use them but I only paid $42 in interest since I paid it off a few months later. Whoever made that bone headed no penalty loan offer probably didn't stick around long. My dealer was just advertising it to people who said they want to pay in full. Everyone made money but the bank. :Lol:. Customers got $450+-, dealer got a kick back.

I actually read the back of the finance contract for GMF.  It states that they "may" charge a $75.00 fee if paid off before 6 payments.  Since my other loan will save me $51. a month, I could be ahead of the game after two lower payments even if they added the $75. to the payoff quote.

      Oil Consumption

      By diyer2 · Posted

      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.

      Fluid Change Questions

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      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.

      Oil Consumption

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      So speaking of oil consumption with my L8T as I just changed the oil yesterday and made the switch over to Amsoil SS 0W-40 from the Mobil 1  5W-30 Truck and SUV I just dropped out. 2900 miles on that oil as well as  68 hours on that oil ( so used to equipment with an hour meter and that becomes valuable information to compare with others as well ). Once again the oil use was so very little, I am going to say it dropped under 1/16 of an inch on the dipstick. No towing was done and this interval was from early spring until now.    One interesting item to note is that going by the 5 quart jugs I was using before from Mobil, it was showing that I was putting in 8 US quarts to bring it to full if not slightly over the full mark according to their jug markings. Granted I did allow more drain time this time and in part because the engine oil was only lukewarm as I started it and let it idle and not for long enough to get the oil itself hot ( the engine was up to operating temp ). The oil in that state just seemed to take forever for it to drip out but not only at the drain plug but at the oil filter housing as well, perhaps I had never quite gotten all the oil out before and I could have still waited longer but as it was I waited well over 3 hours. I think next time if I have the time I will do an experiment by dropping the oil and lets say leave the pan under it for 15 minutes, then switch to another pail and let it drip out overnight and measure how much more oil comes out. So this time and yes I ended up getting it just over the full mark as I was experimenting with trying to get the level to the add mark after I had run it and then waited some and then added a bit and waited for a certain amount of time for it to settle to the add mark. I very well may not have waited long enough for that experiment but I got to the add mark, then dumped in a full quart and waited some and checked and then waited some more and it crept up more ... and then finally oops, it was slightly over full some hours later when it really had settled all it would. I find this engine sure takes time for the last bit of oil that gets poured in to finally make its way into the crank case. I can only guess at how much too much I added as per maybe a 1/10th of a quart. I had poured in 8.5 quarts going by the quart containers as per 8 quarts and 16 us ounces. I was shocked at how much this was off compared to the prior oil changes and if those larger jugs and they are not marked accurately enough or they contain slightly more than what they say, or the drain time factor made that much of a difference. But I know on this forum there have been others who have said they have put well over 8 quarts in their L8T and now I have also going by the Amsoil true quart containers. Its a confusing convoluted mess up here in Canada with some oil manufactures packaging is in true US quarts, some is also in true US quarts containers on an even number of quarts but also marked in liters which becomes the odd ball volume of a fractional amount of liters. Then there is the Liters only containers, no US markings as its a true metric container and only measured in Liters to an even number of Liters. But remember we used to have Imperial Gallons and Imperial quarts as well !.

      Holy smokes. Clearly not a deal on that truck. I just mean in general, matte or painted trim is becoming more normative than chrome, but I know the Black Optics packages on various vehicles are being sold as uplevel trims. They look really good, but sheesh. It's just paint and plastic.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I Wouldn't Know Where to Begin    Oh I know where I would begin but I'm just one of over eight billion people on this rock. Eight billion versions of where the goal post is. How large it should be. How far to kick from. What ball is the right ball. Elevation. Age.....are you getting the point? It isn't about disagreeing with one individual. It's about agreeing only with one individual. One's self.   Agreement comes when multiple people hold the same point already. THAT is the goal of an education. Building the Social Contract. That thing that allows us to all read this sentence. We've agreed on the alphabet and how to arrange those letters into words we agree upon whose meanings hold true for everyone entering into that contract. Those words arranged into a sentence form an idea and several sentences strung together in a paragraph convey an argument for or against or inform the reader of a state, condition or perhaps reveal a things nature. Paint a word picture. Make oneself known.    This contract is not limited to words although they are often explained by words. Things like numbers and their usefulness. Physics, Chemistry, Medicine, Music, Art and so on.    The frequency of middle C (C4) is 261.63 Hz is a first principle. We build on that to make music we all can enjoy even if we all can not compose or play. You don't have to master it to make it enjoyable and useful.    So why is the Beginning so difficult? Why is agreement so elusive?   Everyone "Signs" the contract (when receiving that education in obtaining it)  but fewer and fewer in this world have any intention of living by that contract. They find exploiting that contract more advantageous. Disruption. With intent. Without intent. In Ignorance. In your face. With a double dog dare you. With a hold my beer. In resistance to that contract and in spite how it looks on us. It permeates the very air we breath.    In this way the contract is subject to advantage. Abide by it when it serves you, disregard it when it doesn't. Unpredictable and self-serving. Corrosive.....Toxic........   It says a lot about a persons character to disregard the contract, the truth, first principles. None of it good.        ********************************************************   https://medicine.yale.edu/news-article/character-vs-personality-who-we-are-and-who-we-aspire-to-be/   Just an interesting article.
