I've been looking at Laura but after two phone calls and two e-mails they've left a bad taste in my mouth. I don't need them to bend over backwards for me but at least return my call/message.

 

Was just wondering what kind of deals people are getting from local dealers. The dealer I've bought my last three trucks says that supplier pricing is the lowest they can go and that there are currently no rebates on the Denali. I find that hard to believe.

I agree with you 100% on that. I am flying to Laura GMC on Friday to pick up my 2017 Denali Ultimate. I paid $52,861 out the door. Local dealers in the Twin Cities were about $3000-3500 more than that. It was worth the hassle in dealing with Laura to save that much and travel to get the truck.

Until you pay MN taxes, then add few grand on top of that.

 

I also drove to Laura and picked up my truck, their cleaning of the vehicle was a pathetic joke, they never had it remotely close to being ready heck it was still sitting out in the jokey lot even though they knew I was traveling and gave them a window of arrival.

 

They had quite a few people in there at that time, but their phone lines were going more than customers waiting to buy.

 

The major thing that pissed me off so bad about them is, in less than 20 hrs after I purchased my truck they took an additional 2K off of the trucks, so I called Laura asking them hey you do not wake up one morning and do that, why did you not tell me before I drove there would be a better sale price?

 

Their reply was, well GM gave us the additional money off, so I called GM and GM stated to me that was very much incorrect since GM had already sent out their incentives and if Laura took additional money off it was the dealership reducing prices.

 

Strike 2 for them with me, my truck was unprepared, dirty, no one walked me through all the features on the truck like I was told they should have, “but salesman did install the GMC app on my phone while I was signing paperwork” everything else I have been reading and playing with the button trying to learn all the features it has and last but not least they lied to me.

I'm going to have to pay tax on it whether I buy it here or there. That is why I was always comparing dealer pricing out the door (before taxes and registration or tabs). The dealerships I had talked to were in the upper $55k to $56k.

 

I will let them know that I expect it to be clean and ready prior to me arriving. If it's not, they will get a thorough ass chewing in front of of all of their potential clients.

Excellent best of luck to you on the purchase and I hope they clean it like a brand new truck should be when you drive off the lot.

 

PS I was too tired and just wanted to leave or I would have normally brought the roof off the dealership, but I was looking at 5 hr drive home, plus it took me over three hrs to get the truck to leave.

I live in STL and purchased my truck from Dave Sinclair. If you need a salesman I will refer mine. He is the sh$t. He went way above and beyond for me. I pointed out spots on the truck and he personally cleaned them. Probably the best guy I have ever dealt with. Felt very good in dealing with him. He was very honest and up front. He would not BS me. He was referred to me by someone who was family friends with him, so this might have helped but he still texts me and remembers me so I can give you a reference if needed.

 

Best of luck with Laura's. I'd like to know your experience afterwards.

I'd probably be happy with $55K to $56K around here. The cheapest I've found is $59,760 and they act like they're giving it away at that price!

great thread and thanks for sharing

 

what is the window sticker price on the Denali Ultimate?

Specifically the one purchased for $52,861?

 

I am considering selling my 2015 Sierra SLT privately with 15,000 miles or trading it in for the 2017 Denali.

Knowing the base price is a big help when negotiating for a trade in value.

 

Thanks

I flew to Laura GMC today to get my Denali. Let me say, that dealership is crazy. I was talking to the driver from the airport to the dealership about Laura GMC. He mentioned they sold 977 vehicles at Laura GMC in November of 2016. He said they had a record during that month of incoming calls on one day (over 1000). They have three operators answering and directing calls and the lobby of the dealership. The driver also mentioned that 5 sales guys sold over 50 vehicles each in November.

 

I don't know how accurate his info was, but I can tell you I believe him after seeing how crazy things are there. I am guessing they had about 40 stations for sales reps. Most of them had customers in them. There were others waiting in the lobby. All kinds of Laura employees running around the lobby. I can see how things are there. It was nuts.

 

I was quite pleased. I rode in a Yukon XL Denali from the airport to the dealership. They said this is the first time in a while that it was only one individual being picked up from the airport. I got to the dealer and took my truck for quick test run. From there, I filled out paperwork, did the financials, had the truck cleaned and then hit the road. It took about 2.5 hours from the time I landed to the time I hit the road (there is about a 30 minute drive from the airport to the dealer). I am usually one that does not have patience, but I never felt waiting to be an issue today while sitting there. I was in line for the financials, as well as cleaning. Again, they just sell that many vehicles.

 

I would gladly buy from them again. I was quite happy and the money I saved was well worth it. Wish they were closer.

 

Oh, and I drove through a winter storm to get it home (read my intro):

I work for Laura Buick GMC, been here well over 5 years, and can confirm the numbers are accurate, we sell close to 1,000 cars a month. I hate reading the negative reviews, hopefully we have the opportunity to correct those mistakes next time. I would be happy to assist anyone here with the purchase of a new GMC or Buick.

I would rate Laura as #1 on pricing. I thought that their customer service was top notch, you are no going to be coddled there LOL if you want coddling you may want t shop elsewhere it is a fast paced business and I like it. I just have one small paint issue that I am working through with them right now. I have confidence this will be resolved to my complete satisfaction. It was a partly cloudy day when I picked the truck up and when I walked around it, it looked perfect. When got it home and had washed it a couple of times a really light scratch showed up on the drivers side rear door panel along with a really ugly set of swirl marks around the scratch that only shows up in bright sunlight. Best i can tell the heavy coat of wax or whatever was thinned down from washing and exposed the UGLY It looks like it had been heavily buffed. I am working with Ryan to get this resolved. I guess that is the real downside in buying 300 miles from home, you cannot just jump in the truck and run back over to talk to them. I am taking it to a local dealer near where I live next week to see what my options are. Ryan has checked their dealership records and he says this was not done at the dealership, so the only other possibility is a factory paint hospital mistake as the truck has been only parked in my garage here safe and sound. 1st pic is in bright sunlight and shows the awful swirl marks the 2nd one is in the shade and it is dang near impossible to even see the light scratch unless you know it is there.

Now enough of that, on the OP's question the MSRP was over 64k and I bought at over 13k off MSRP OTD. Worth the drive no doubt. If you find the truck that you want on their website, go ahead and sign up for the price watch and be ready to pounce when the price matches your goal. Just remember you will not be pampered, this is a fast paced car sales business not a massage parlor. But you still get a happy ending LOL

      cam upgrade in CA

      By AidenVorpagel · Posted

      hello I recently bought a 2012 gmc 1500 with a 5.3 and have a AFM disabler on it I'm interested in doing a cam but I'm worried if I remove the AFM system I will fail smog does anyone have info if they are able to detect that or a work around to it (not talking about hot smogging) please let me know thank you

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      By B14Sierra · Posted

      Update. I started chasing down my symptoms. Started first with pulling valve covers and looked at everything. Everything looked good and couldn't hear or feel anything different. Then a compression test. 240 psi or really close on each cylinder. I was worried I was a tooth off of timing. Not bad for an engine with 173,000. Granted I did put new heads on. I sprayed water around the injector area to see if I could hear a change. Nothing. I hooked up my new hp tuner which I should have done in the first place but I don't really know what I'm looking at just yet but am learning. I noticed the fuel trims were way off so that told me I have to have either a bad injector or exhaust leak. New injectors, so I did the shop vac on blower and in the tail pipe. Sprayed soapy water and found the exhaust flange on the drivers side was leaking. I didn't think it would be that considereding I pulled the heads and left the manifolds attached. I did have the transmission replaced not long ago. They must have not seated them properly but I guess I didn't notice. I put in new gaskets on both sides. Which by the way isn't a bad job but I had a hard time getting them to seal right. Took two attempts. Reset the fuel trims and the ticking is gone, engine runs smooth and acceleration has improved. Got to feel the real difference with that stage 1 cam. It's not that big of a difference but it does add a little more. It feels like how the truck should have been from the factory.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Can it still be Assembled I?    Stribeck says that we need a certain amount of viscosity under conditions of load and velocity to prevent two surfaces of a know roughness from tearing each other asunder. And we have marketing trying to tell the masses that those two surfaced require less of that commodity due to more exact limits being placed on the same old clearances. We also know that there are limits to how hard something can before it becomes to brittle to be viable and to smooth to 'wet' the surface and that both of those conditions have been known and met since about the Second World War.    That viscosity value shook out at 10 centistokes at 212 F just under a hundred years ago.  Give this a look: [Anton Parr]     What is advertised is the Kinematic viscosity (mm2/s) or that which has been density adjusted but the value we are after is the dynamic viscosity (mPa.s) or true viscosity. You can see that this number is dependent on density thus base stock and temperature. You can also see that an SAE 30 doesn't reach that value in this example. However an SAE 30 that is at the upper end of the SAE 30 range; 12.5 cSt (mm2/s), might. 12.5 * .83 = 10.375 (mm2/s). If you could find an SAE 30 at the upper end these days.   Then there is the complication of viscosity modifiers or VII or VM, whatever you wish to call them. Polymers added to very thin base oils, perhaps 3 to 6 cP oils, that will meet the SAE *W30 spec at 'tested' shear rates and 100 C/212F  target temperature. So a polymer fortified base that is a fraction of the 10 cP requirement Stribeck insist upon.   This could be all well and good if those polymers didn't have two very problematic 'features'. They shear or loose viscosity both 1.) permanently and 2.) temporality. And they do both omitted in the advertised data with the distinct  purpose of deceiving the consumer of the actual operating state of the fluid. I've shown the example of Warren Oils COSTCO 10.91 cSt 5W30 formuation several times where the 100 C HTHS value is 6.9 cP!! That's the temporary shear down and with and SSI or shear stability index of 9.4 cSt. Note the intentional deception in using mixed units?    After a short while that 9.4 cSt oil has a viscosity corrected dynamic value of 7.8 cP. But as the SSI is still within the range of an SAE *W30 whose lower value is 9.3 cSt.    This allows them to continue to call this SAE 16 weight oil a 30 weight, the cake, and still meet the API requirements for fuel efficiency IMPROVEMENT mandated by the EPA. The eating of the cake. By the time you've worn out your motor doing the responsible thing by adhering to the warranty requirements, (the stick), you get deprived of the carrot, wear control. So sad, to bad.   So what can be done? Do I need actually say? [Anton Parr]       Even this must be monitored if the oil is on the low side and the VII an organic or you opt for a 0W40 with an even lighter base oil and more / higher MW VII. (Note the lower density of the 40 weight versus the SAE 30 mono-weight?)    There is another workaround. Temperature. An SAE *W30 run at a bulk temperature of between 180 and 195 F.    Being the belt and suspenders sort I am I do both. Run it cook and run it heavy.    In Part II I'll work the AW package.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      So, do I go elbow-deep on this thing or list it for sale and play dumb? Seems to "runs good."   I'm about $1200 away from having: -a rebuilt injector ($300) -a new cat ($250) -a new cat back exhaust (OE style) ($300) -a new AC compressor ($200) -AC refrigerant charge ($150)   In theory, this should rectify the obvious detracting issues from its value and operability. Cold AC with a non-squeaking AC pulley both sounds and feels good. An exhaust that isn't cut/hacked in 17 different places and doesn't vibrate on a crossmember would make it sound and feel less janky. A working cat would help the stink, and will save the earth, but *if and only if* the fuel system is working properly, which would also address the intermittent "rich" CEL.   Heard a good one... CEL for "Rich condition" means you haven't spent enough money on the truck lately, and it's letting you know.   Rebuilding the injector would seem to be the most important part. Replacing the cat would be secondary. I don't think mine is plugged or overly restricted, but it might be a little restricted? I have no good way to tell other than seat of the pants feel. I hate the smell.   The current theory is I have a rich idle problem: A bad fuel pressure regulator, or a leaking injector(s) being the highest probabilities. I already replaced the FPR but that doesn't mean its replacement isn't also bad. It was a new part from Dorman, but the packaging looked like it had been sitting on a shelf for 20 years.   This is the (single) upstream O2 sensor shown at idle. I'm getting a lot of "rich" it seems. Sometimes it stays high like that and doesn't drop down. That makes me think it's processing injector leaks or a partially stuck open injector.     Other times it looks like this. Nice oscillations between rich and lean, which is what I think it should be. Under load and at speed, the oscillations are nice and tight and uniform looking, high and low.     Fuel trims suggest the PCM is compensating pretty hard at idle to pull fuel out. But it's not enough to trip a CEL. Something about slowing to a stop: brake vaccum booster, EGR, or the EVAP purge is delayed, or there's pooled fuel in the intake again that's draining into a cylinder is enough to set the CEL. Of course, in two days of driving, it hasn't set. I was hoping to actually look at the freeze-frame data when it sets. IAT is high because it's idling on an 83 degree day here.
