About to go order my truck tomorrow. This is my first time ordering a GM product, so trying to figure out how aggressive I can expect to be with my negotiations (my last 2 orders were with Mercedes, and I went in super aggressive on those deals). I'm not really tied to any one dealer, but have been working with one so far that seems decent.

2019 RST Double Cab, 4x4, 2.7L
Leather Package
All Star Package
Convenience Package W/Bucket Seats
Convenience II Package
Safety Package
Bed Protection Package
Advanced Trailering Package
22" 5-spoke Dark Silver aluminum wheels with Chrome inserts
Polished Exhaust Tip
All Weather Floor Liners
 
MSRP is $53,665
-$500 for All Star
-$2,000 Cash Allowances
Net Price $51,165 after r ebates
 
The dealer I am working with has offered $50,500 minus any rebates. Based on what I have read, I think there is room to negotiate for more - but I am not sure how much more, given that I am ordering. Thoughts?
2.7L? Do you that will hold it's value long term vs the 5.3?

We will see. It’s a risk I’m willing to take - I won’t own a gas V8 or V6. Plus it pulls like a freight train around town.

The tech behind that motor is pretty neat. If they offered it with the Z71 I would consider it. Good luck, let us know how it goes

Bought my RST double cab last Friday.  Sticker was $51,500.  I paid $41,500 for the truck, $43,000 out the door.  Dealer came off $3500 and had $3500 in rebates.  The biggie was an additional $3000 off from the GM card.  One of the rebates required GM financing and the best rate was 7.4%, nasty, with a 858 credit score.  I am preapproved with my credit union for 3.49% and will refi once the 3 months are up.  Its my local dealer and certainly don't want to screw them on that rebate.  The F&I guy even told me to take my 4th loan statement to the credit union and refi when the statement comes in.

 

I am happy with the deal and the truck.  

 

 

I just put a deposit in an rst z71 crew. Msrp was 51k and they went down to 43k. NY sucks but I’m happy with the price. They wanted the same for a 2018 z71 at two other dealerships. So I don’t think I killed it with my deal but I was able to get a 2019 for the same price. I’m in the same boat with financing. Going through gm and then refinancing in three months. Sign my paperwork on Monday

I just signed a deal for my RST for 48k before rebates a few min ago. I probably could have went elsewhere and ran the numbers but am satisfied. 6-8 weeks and my new truck should be here.

Mine stickered for 64,095.  6.2L, AT4 premium pkg, 18" with duratracs, sunroof, technology package, driver alert pkg II.

I paid $54,000.

What dealership?  I would buy one on Monday if I could get $10k off the sticker.  Did you use the GM loyalty rebate?  Any other rebates?

Everett Buick GMC, Bryant Arkansas.   I did GM financing (will refinance with credit union at 4 months), took gm rebate coupled with dealer discount.   I see they have what looks like 29 more AT4's, most all 9700+ off sticker.    I got a few more hundred off due to a blunder the dealer was trying to making right with me.

Time to update my signature! Finally found pricing that worked for me.  Last day of February I scored my AT4 with everything I wanted (White, Crew Cab, 6.2L, AT4 Premium, Sunroof, Duratrac's, and Technology Package).  It also had the "Off-Road Performance Package" which with the other stuff it already had adds an intake and exhaust.  Wasn't on my "needs" list but I guess it's a nice bonus, just added a little cost.

MSRP was $65,850.

Sale Price $59,580

MFR. Rebate $4,500

Net cost before B.S. - $55,080 (16.35% off)

They then got me for $600 delivery from Utah to Cali, $494 for garbage protection package (they would not waive it), $399 doc fee, plus tax and licensing of course.  The best rate they could get me was 5.39% even with an 806 score.  There is verbiage stating I can't pay it off for 6 months.  Frontwave credit union can get me 3.49%.  I'll go that route ASAP!

All in all, I feel pretty good about it, despite the protection package and high interest rate.  Prices seemed to have ticked back up March 1.

WOW, my credit rating hasn’t been that high in decades. ;). Anyhoo bank gave me the 2.99% can be paid/transferred any time. No money down. All the rest as posted before. So some good deals. Two other fellas got similar vehicle to me in this end of town but didn’t do so well negotiating. ;)

I noticed that too. I've also seen quite a few more T1s on the road in the last couple days than I did in the first couple of months after they came out. They must have had a good February. :D

Has anyone had the dealer come after them for not keeping a loan through GM for a certain amount of time before you pay it off?  Mine told me I had to keep it for 4 months or they could come after me for the additional $1500 rebate they game me.    I don't think they can legally FORCE you into a loan.  They were not able to provide ANY documentation and even the first bill i got said nothing about it.    Blowing smoke?

I just did this with my 2018...I purchased with GM financial back in June to get the extra rebate off and paid it off after 1 month.  I even called GMF to confirm I can pay it off early without penalty.

 

I believe the dealer gets a spiff if you keep your loan for 3 months.  If they would be up front and honest with me, I might have kept it...but since they lied to me I just went ahead and paid it off and didn't care.  The dealer never came back after me to pay back a rebate.

    • My centre console USB ports haven’t been working and the one in the glovebox is starting to act up. When I plug my phone into the cord the radio will go black and stop playing, and the CarPlay is inconsistent.   I checked the fuses and they were fine. I changed the USB port out and still nothing. Hoping for some advice on what I should be looking at.  
    • The truck is a 1995 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, 4.3 VIN "W" engine. :cracks knuckles:   On a whim - because I needed a headache - this truck was for sale so I stopped to take a look. Doesn't run. Well, it does, but barely. Long crank, choppy idle, bad misfire(s), it REEKS of fuel. I can DO this..I'm thinking. Diamond in the rough. One owner until last year. A young guy is selling it, he bought it 6 months ago. It stranded him more than once, he's got a newborn. It was in the shop 10 days ago and he "thinks" they said it needs a new fuel injection system. He can't put any more money into it, needs it gone. I was thinking of upgrading my Macbook, which is a total want, not a need. For less than the price of a new laptop I can have fun for months tinkering on this truck and enjoying it. I'm taking this truck home. The guy was beyond thrilled, his wife was there, she thanked me profusely, I could tell they were hurting. They seemed like good people in a bind.   Some parts, a wash, maybe a set of tires, and I can have a few months of fun and then turn it for beer money (or the next project).   Sure enough, there's a work order from a shop last week in the INCHES of paperwork on this truck dating back to when the first owner bought it. They put a new distributor in it, fuel injection work describes basically opening the plenum and putting it back together. He said he couldn't afford any more work so he had them button it up and that's when he put it up for sale.   I'm not well versed in 4.3. I did discover 1995 uses the 1992-1995 SCPI "Spider" injector which is riddled with issues from splitting lines, clogged or cracked poppet valves and plastic spider legs that crumble over time. Cool. I'll just order me a ne---. Oh, the auto parts store doesn't have it? Rock Auto doesn't have it. eBay? $$$$$$ for used. These are UNAVAILABLE period end of story unless you know "a guy" who's still got one in a box somewhere.   Can't upgrade to the '96-'04 injector, it's a different plenum, wiring/pinout and sensor config.   There are a few kinda "know a guy" -guy rebuild services for these injectors out there for about $350. Okay, Okay... I'd like to know if anyone has used them? Anyone got a lead on these crappy 92-95 spiders?   I also don't want to send MY spider to Narnia and back without knowing if that's truly the problem. I guess I'll need to pull apart the plenum and do some digging.   I was also thrown for a loop. This 1995 model year truck has an OBD-II connector. The interface is decidedly not OBD-II. I can read and reset trouble codes and view live data, but there's not a lot of data. Like misfire count and on what cylinder, that's not there. It's OBD-1.5.   Nothing is ever easy. Now it makes sense why this guy wanted to disappear this thing for cheap. I'm guessing the shop told him the injector is toast, the part is unobtainable and they're not going to sort sending the thing to a rando offering rebuild service on craigslist, and the kid likely can't be without a working car for 3 weeks even if they'd facilitate that.   Experience with these early SCPI's? Stories? Things to check? Sympathy? (..Nah...)   This can sit until I sort it. But I haven't had a problem with a vehicle I couldn't easily solve in a long time.    
    • I have four that read by the dash 8 to 10% better than miles/pump calculations and I have one that is spot on. 
    • The average lifespan of automobiles on the road is increasing - here's why
    • Typically it is the Torque Converter, I have a 2.7L Trail Boss and between 25-65 MPH at 1300-1500 rpms under light throttle it has a shudder which I almost consider and bobble or a gargle sound. They replaced my TC but it did not help any, others say it has fixed their issues. It has been back twice now with no fix after.
