Well guys, just to give you an idea what we pay here in Canada....I built and ordered an LTZ with a 6.2 L          Price 66 175$   Dealer rebate 3975 =62 200   2900 credit=59 300 trade in 34000 -17000 owed + fees + misc 872 =43 356.50 + 3893.38 Tax=  47 249.98 - 2500 gm card WOULD have to finance44749.98  if thru them ( 1000$ rebate if financed)…………….They will sell truck for 41 839.98 if I bought outright.

                      So contacted my bank, and we have an agreement and will cut a cheque to the dealer......another 2500 saved cause won't get 1000 for financing but will get 3400 for cash deal.

    If bought thru dealer 48 months 1000.00$

   My bank at  41839.98   48 months   944.00

They have dropped large incentives every year for as long as i can remember. Gm clearly does not want to price their product realistically which then creates owners who have paid far to much for their trucks imo and are left holding that bag when incentives hit, and they will hit at years end to clear inventory space!

Going back to this, what is your threshold for a good deal? Is it some percentage off MSRP?

Personally, they wont get me in the door unless they are offering at least 5k CAD off MSRP. When I bought my 2010, they were $9k off MSRP + GM loyalty of $1,000 and I got $3,000 for dragging in an old blown up 1990 f150 V6 (cash for clunkers they called it). I ended up paying less than a used truck with a similar spec. I traded it 5 years later for $15,000 less than I paid for it. So I was $3,000 per year to drive a loaded new truck. When I bought my 2015 personal truck they would only give me $6,000 off, this truck was the same spec except had the 6.2L, it's MSRP was $10,000 more than the 2010 was. I felt pretty hosed at the time by the 2010 was having paint issues. I ended up refusing the deal unless they agreed to throw in black tube steps, weathertechs and gatorback flaps, they complied and I have a 2015 6.2L.

 

I wont be going back unless they are $10k+ off now as the same truck in a 2019 is now $73,000. It's like GM thinks we are get a 20% pay raise at work every time a new truck rolls out.

I need $10k off of sticker to buy.  I doubt I will see that on a loaded LTZ or High Country for a while.   it's not $15-$20k more of a truck than the 2018's they just blew out on sale year end, I don't care what has changed.  I would love to know the REAL cost of building one of those and how much profit they get from a sale. If someone pays full stick on an LTZ \ HC I bet they make $20k - $30k profit on each truck.    Anyone have an idea?   

I have the cash to buy one but can't get past the fact of wasting the excess money I know that's in the deal. 

 

Then again people buy Raptor's for $10k over sticker all of the time which I can't get my head around.  It's a truck!!!!!

Local dealer (Quirk Chevy) is offering 9K off list.

I tried working with them, but no love.  That $9k probably includes $2k incentive for a trade-in from 2005 or newer which they no doubt will take that $2k back from you on.  I believe another part of it was a financing incentive, and their interest rates were terrible.

 

I mentioned before I ended up at Banks in NH, and with the Costco program basically got a similar or better deal than Quirk's with none of that hassle going on.  Quirk was only $8k off MSRP at the time, so no idea if Banks has kept up.. things have changed obviously.

 

I did have to call Banks for their price though, they were not listing prices other than MSRP on their website at the time.  They don't mess around though, the call was absolutely worthwhile and while I doubt I'll be shopping again any time soon I would call them first.

For me i wouldn't even look until i see 20% off msrp. Like i said though that won't happen until they start making room for the 20's.

 

And to the person who said but yeah it's now a year old, exactly a year old, still brand new and the same exact thing as the 20's more than likely. Also another plus is a much cheaper excise tax bill to boot come late february, of course that's only if you live in a state like mine that taxes you when you buy then again yearly to further rob you! When i bought in 2014 i saved around 600 dollars on my first excise bill because when it came it was already listed as year old to them.

Agreed that quirk can be a royal pia/aka sleazy.

I did buy a 2009 from them but have inquired after that and there were always "issues".

Buyer beware.

Just an observation. I've been looking at 2019 crew cab LTs in the phoenix market and last month a dealer had it for $35,800. Now its up to $40,800 since February hit. Looking at the Chevy website I don't see the GM loyalty incentive anymore. Is this pretty typical at the beginning of a month that the price jumps backup? I wonder when we should expect incentives to start hitting.

Someone said earlier that truck month is March typically.. let's see what happens, maybe that will drop.

just curious of anyone has recently leased the 19 denali 1500, 6.2, 4x4 thinking about getting out of my 15 silverado LTZ and into that but its so hard to figure out if you are getting a good lease deal or not.   


If you can share sticker, net cost (before downpayments and such) and then how much down and what your payment is it would be much appreciated also feel free to PM me.  I tried sorting thru but I see most of them are purchases this time im looking to do something different and lease. 

 

thanks-

    • Congratulations Isttype, on your gmc. Really like my 2024 2500hd sle doublecab now with 85,500 miles.  I checked the oil today at 4800 miles since last oil change and barely reading on the stick.  I don't care if GM says it's Acceptable adding a quart every 2000 miles because that is 100% BS, It is not a 1966 Harley Shovelhead! Sounds like it's setting up a future failure like I had with my 1500 6.2l. Other than oil consumption problems, I really like the 6.6l gas and 10 speed is really nice.  Towed a light 4000 pound trailer last week and averaged 14 mpg.  I was pretty impressive that a 7300 pound gas truck did 14mpg towing, Later-
    • Long Term Cold Cycle Limited Testing   Back to the 1990's and XOM's million mile test. Since then there have been others and there will be more. Schaeffer's, AMSOIL to name two. Of these Schaeffer's is the stand alone which I will explain in a bit later.    http://papers.sae.org/600190/:   http://papers.sae.org/850215/:   Up to 75% of  engine wear occurs on cold starts. These two links (above) provide the technical reasons for engine wear. In a nut shell, and by a large margin, cylinder wear is what takes out most motors and even with a pre-oiling system that part of the engine is dry enough on cold starts and cold warm up to pierce Stribeck.   So when you put a motor, or a car, on a dyno for a million miles stopping only for oil changes, (yes fuel is uninterrupted) or break down maintenance, you are depriving the test of the most important part of it's wear cycle. Yes a million is then a pretty easy walk even for a mineral oil under those conditions.    How about cleanliness during the long test cycles? Same thing. Varnishes that stick rings and insulate parts are laid down by repetitive 'heat cycles'. It's the cool down the precipitates the varnishes. These long runs also hinder acidic attack caused by cold start richness and less than optimal cold start ring sealing. They hinder water formation and enhance breathing of the crankcase; the petri dish of acid formation, the first step in sludge formation, amalgamation and precipitation. These motors are also monitored and controlled for water and oil temperatures to within the "normal operating range".      https://www.swri.org/sites/default/files/sequence-iiih-test.pdf Note the test sequence in some boutique oils literature for testing, API IIIH, is not the standard used for the ILSAC G7 testing. Does that mean it is irrelevant? No, not as used. As used as a 'visual guide' it makes it's point. The G7 weighted piston deposit minimum is lower.      Back to Schaeffer's. That was a cyclical test of an engine in fleet service and not a dyno mule and if you saw the video it was not mirror clean but wear was low.    There are oils like BioSyn and other 'Renewable" source oils that taught cleanliness and have proven themselves in fleet testing. Havoline an other example.    The newest ILSAC G-7 test prioritize cleanliness, LSPI mitigation and fuel economy OVER WEAR. In comparison Porsche C30 Specification Verses ILSAC G-7 Specification below:      Some will balk that this graph isn't apples to apples and I will challenge that in that this graph represent the SPECIFICATION and not the any One Oil Performance.   It is absolutely possible to minimize wear, maximize cleanliness and mitigate LSPI etc., It just isn't cheap and currently I see none that are not walking toward profit over performance.     
    • I don't think you will need a split, separate product, etc., the OBD port should be able to deliver everything you need. Since your device would be plugged into it all the time, it wouldn't miss anything.    Hardware in this case will be the easiest part of your project - ELM 327 devices will already deliver all the data you need. Reporting/software is where your advantage/marketability is.
    • I do too. I’ll never be stuck again 😂
    • It has happened to me a few times. I carry a jumpstart-tire inflator with me.
