I'm debating on trading my 2016 gmc all terrain for a 2017 Tahoe LT. It seems like there's not as much wiggle room on the tahoe as a pickup?? I purchased my all terrain last year during the 20% off msrp sale. I've also heard others say they have got 20% off msrp at most any time of the year...The particular Tahoe I'm looking at has a bonus tag 10% off msrp and that's pretty much all they are taking off. So for those who claim 20% off msrp is the measurement of a good deal, does that apply in this case at this time on a 2017 tahoe. Is it not a good deal, if they won't do 20% off msrp?

 

I've bought numerous vehicles the last 12 years from this dealership and have always been satisfied. Ive never bought anything but a truck. So, trying to figure if there's a difference in buying a truck vs tahoe or something else is up...

Is there likely to be any larger rebates coming in the next few months?

Analysts all say the new auto market is tanking and manufacturers will need to offer deeper discounts. Depends on how much faith you want to put in that. Generally, Hoes and Burbs don't seem to get as steep discounts.

 

I purchased a 2017 Tahoe LT the first weekend of March. Got right at 20% off plus 0% through GM Financial. Had $4300 in GM Card earnings on top of that. Also had a trade, which is not in these numbers.

Was it pretty tough negotiations to get 20% off?

Had it advertised about 17%. Claimed that was the best they could do. Found another with similar MSRP that happened to be at their sister store 30 minutes away at 20%. They matched once I referenced that. Had to drive 4 hrs one way for it. Dealers around me wouldn't get close. Did all negotiations over email, including trade valuation. Showed up, test drove, signed paperwork, drove away.

I'm gonna put a call in to a big city/volume dealer and see what type deal they can offer. As stated in my OP, I've bought multiple vehicles from my small town local dealer over the years. Guess I'll find out if I've been missing out on anything...

      I like the idea.  I would pick diesel if I had a choice. I need pictures though.

      Help purchasing a touch screen digitizer

      By newdude · Posted

      I've installed cheap eBay new aftermarket digitizers before.  They work.  Did a bunch of Cadillac CUE (aka Cadillac's MyLink) for someone years ago.  They all worked fine after the repair.    That number 22740886, that is a component part # for GM.  You can use it to search, but its not something that's obtainable at the dealer level.     So pretty much any of these will work - 2015 Colorado Digitizer for sale | eBay

      Exhaust heat while towing!

      By fondupot · Posted

      You can install tailpipes that direct the exhaust sideways vs the OEM one that goes straight back. There are several on the market, do you own research. HOWEVER, you need to make sure the Venturi vents are still intact, otherwise it will throw a engine code. There is a sensor somewhere that detects back pressure on the exhaust. And if it doesn't collect the correct metrics, it will throw the truck into limp mode.

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      "Teardown" is complete. Head surfaces are clean and ready, new intake is prepped and ready. Coolant drained and water pump is removed, radiator is removed, new hoses and pump are ready.   The replacement intake is also from a '95 (with I think 260k, the odometer said). Noticeably less pitting where it covers the rear coolant passages. I'm not sure if that's a tribute to more frequent use, more frequent coolant changes/upkeep, or if the intake was machined at some point. But it appears I found a good one.   My coolant hoses were original, and the lower hose still retained the factory spring inside. It's not really rusty, but it's got deposits all over it. Unsure if I should re-install it (will thoroughly clean it first). Someone said hose technology has gotten better since 1995 (has it?) and I don't need the spring. I think modern EPDM is what made those hoses last from 1995-2026, so it's a question of how much suction can the water pump really pull, and will it collapse the hose without a spring?   I'm stopped and waiting for parts, however.   When I first brought the truck home, the fan was intermittently hitting the radiator shroud. I could see someone had monkeyed with the shroud (put a bunch of cardboard as a spacer between the upper/lower shroud halves. Someone said the motor mounts have likely failed and the engine has sagged. I wasn't sure I believed that. The engine is really solid in its mounts: To remove the old intake I *just* nearly permanently welded to the heads with freshly cured RTV and gasket snot two weeks ago, I literally had to use the arms on my lift and a chain with a bolt attached to the intake to pull it loose. It almost picked the front of the truck off the ground before ....scuuuuuuuuuuup.... I could actually hear the gaskets tearing and it broke loose and the whole truck settled back down. Motor barely moved.   SO, those parts I'm waiting on... The lower radiator mounts/bushings had completely failed. The radiator needs to be insulated from the rad support, and the bushings help the rad stand at the correct height. The plastic "baffle" was also destroyed at some point. Someone had attached the shroud to it incorrectly, overlapping a joint that should have been underlapped, creating another suspect issue potentially causing things to hit the fan. Broken tabs, side is busted off, and it's perma-formed/bent where it was jimmied incorrectly.   The baffle? Unobtainum. Long since discontinued from GM, of course. Aftermarket/capa/chinese? Also unobtanium. In GM's infinite wisdom, it appears there are at least two different variations whether the Blazer is 2 or 4 door, and I can't yet tell if they shared the same part with the S-pickups. Plan B, if I can't find a viable used one, will be to create a bracket to re-assemble the critical joint I need to seal a gap with the shroud. But that will bug me, it won't be...perfect.   The water pump bolts appear to have been installed with...plumber's putty. I guess, sure, if it works...? I've found a few "backyard fixes" like that. Someone's been here before....   If I can't find someone to jam bamboo under my fingernails to fill my free time this week I think I'll install the driver's power window motor and replace the rear door speaker that's inop. I've got a genuine GM "9.5" ohm working replacement. Why GM used a non-standard resistance....nevermind. Of course they did, you can get more sound from a cheap factory amp that way.   And the saga goes on...
