I'm going to guess there is a $1500 coupon he would lose after the 2nd. That's that was the last day to redeem. I would have done the same thing

$1500 plus $700 from Costco ?

Ok, that would make sense then, if it was to save money I’d probably have done the same.

That was exactly the same reason I did that: $1500 (GM) + $700 (costco) + $700 (on top of $4500 dealer's discount). Total saving:$7400 off of $56,815 (MSRP). It shouldn't be bad ?

Anybody know pros and cons from different plants. Warm weather versus cold, salt and so on.

Just found this out.

 

"The vehicle has been turned over to the carrier and is in transit from the plant to a distribution center. We are unable to provide any estimates or ETAs, but this process can take time. I would encourage you to contact the selling dealership, as they will be in the best position to assist you with more specific updates at this time. Your VIN is available with the dealership. I appreciate you taking the time to chat in with us and allowing me the opportunity to assist you today. Is there anything else that I can do to assist you with further or do you have any additional questions for me?"

 

They also said it was made in Ft Wayne. 

 

I contacted my dealer and they do not have an ETA.

Well, they are on an open car carrier so if it is a nasty salty road, they will get splashed on for sure.  I'm hoping this isn't the case but it can't be helped.  It is what you get when you order a vehicle in the winter time.  Just hope mine is on the top rack in the middle.  LOL

It's no so much the paint, but all the nooks and crannies beneath and in between body panels. Anything salt touched that isn't thoroughly rinsed off will rust, and FAST. That crap just starts the trip to the scrapyard sooner. 

 

Friggin HATE salt! I'm out THOUSANDS of dollars from it over the years ...

A little exaggeration. I live in Canada and they use salt, and liquid calcium on the roads here. Still takes over 5-6 years to get rust through. Plus salt doesn’t activate when temp are colder than -10. I think you guys will be ok

I got this email late last night.

 

" Dear James,

The trucks ship with black stamped steel wheels from the factory and the dealer installs the Premium Package wheels.

I would say you're correct 20 years ago - not so today. These things will rust so fast it'll make your head spin. I'm not talking about the body - that can be repaired.  If I didn't start oiling my Silverado that I hardly drive back in '10 when it was 3 years old, there would've been nothing left of the undercarriage - once that rusts, the vehicle is going to the scrap heap, regardless of how pretty the paint is.

 

I'll also guarantee you that MA throws more road salt down in a single storm than you guys get all year up there. I was in the city 3 weeks ago, temps in the mid 40's (fahrenheit), and the roads were PURE WHITE with brine, and piles of rock salt all along the shoulder, and in the center of each lane where the wheels don't touch.
