I have visited a few dealers so far for an LT Trail Boss Crew Cab shot MSRP $56,940 I am looking at $54,228 OTD Tax, License, etc.

 

In addition they are offering me $7,000K for my 2005 Silverado SS with 137k miles.  

2 other dealers offered me $6,000K and another offered $4,000K

 

How much better do you think I can do?  

 

 

 

I'd might switch to the AT4 if I find better numbers.

 

My price and others is not including trade ins or anything it is strait discount off msrp. Dont settle for anything less then 15% off at min. Look out at other dealerships and use there pricing to your advantage or just take a drive or flight to go to an area with better pricing.

Of course.  A year-old truck is worth less, you should expect to pay less.  Resale value is definitely lower.  Even if you're buying it "new", as soon as you drive it off the lot it's a year older tha

Yeah, I agree here. 54K OTD ain’t too great on a loaded LT TB. Even with an extra $1000 on your trade. 

 

Many guys here got their loaded LT TBs 47-49K.

Unless you meant $44k OTD instead of $54k OTD , then walk. Not a good enough deal compared to what others are paying on here, for sure.

Hi guys. I just joined, but I got a Custom TB Crew Cab for $34,393 in Whitesboro, TX on Saturday. MSRP was just over $47K. I had been keeping up with prices on CarGurus. If any are looking for a TB in the DFW area, I saw a Double Cab Custom TB for $36,404 as of yesterday. It already had the off-road side steps and spray-in bedliner already added on at that price.

I’m seeing this exact same truck here in DFW for $41k before taxes now. Has driver alert 1, X31, Texas Edition premium,  MSRP is $56.7 ($15,5k off). Do y’all think this is a good deal or is this a possible bait and switch? They have the discounts listed and they look to be legit discounts...

Can someone explain to me the “catch” for lack of a better word, when purchasing from dealers like Dave Smith, Dennis Dillon, Laura etc

 

Are they requiring to use their financing and keep it for a certain amount of time? What are the interest rates like? I saw a post say they wanted to add $2k to the price for not using their financing

Everett required me to finance with them for min 3 months, rate wasnt great 5.89% but if you amortize it out it cost an extra $345 to take that offer over what my credit union quoted. So if you didnt take the 2k for financing with them you would be paying roughly 1655 more for the truck. I'll refi or payoff in 2 months and have saved $1655 extra. Other then that they wanted me to own a gm vehicle (wife srx and my vette) and trade in a vehicle however since my subaru was a lemon and being repurchased by subbie they let me out of that "requirement", i'm sure they will low ball your trade to an extent to recoup some of the discount over other dealers.

3 months? Mine was 4 I believe at the same rate. At the end of the day though, they can’t come back after you if you re-fi early because it’s not a commercial loan and those terms aren’t written into the contract.


How long before your truck shows up?

In addition to the financing, they’re pretty much selling these vehicles at a loss in order to qualify for the kickbacks and bonuses they get from selling the vehicles. So if the dealership paid $45k for the vehicle and they sell it for $43k, at the end of the month, if they hit their quota, the dealership gets a huge incentive for selling the vehicle. So they can sell at a loss and operate that way and survive off of the incentives they get. Until the quota is too high for them to meet and they go under.

      Doors lock and mirrors fold in while driving

      By BIGBOYS · Posted

      I have a 2015 Silverado and sometimes I can not get in to the truck. I use the key to unlock the driver door. Something is locking the truck when I unlock it, last night I left the truck open and this morning it was locked with the mirrors folded in. This happens while driving so it is now a safety issue. I reach down for the folding button and they open, then they close again.  Any advice, thank you,   Ed

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      tl; dr I've now reached the 6th floor of hell. I'm chronicling my journey for my morning readers.   Pulling the top of the intake apart was moderately easy but it involved a lot of parts, connections, and minutae. I was preparing for the new fuel lines to arrive ("nut and bolt kit" it's called). The fuel line connections are notched and held in place by the manifold and a metal plate with a T27 screw.   It's on the back of the intake, under the firewall, with little clearance, and two hard metal fuel lines in the way. I was using Franken-tools (weird combinations of 1/4 inch ratchet with/without an extension, with a bit holder for my T27) to get in there. One of my sockets and bits fell off and has yet to emerge on the floor. I lost a second setup and that's when I almost started throwing tools. But that was the point at which I had gotten traction on the Torx head, and it promptly stripped. No more traction.   I started humming "1-877-kars-4-kids" because I was about at that point. You know what? I'm $1500 into this thing and I can make it disappear just as quickly. This isn't fun anymore. I had spent a lot of time already "tidying" around the engine bay: Fixing all the "someone's been here before!" BS. The truck has been exclusively dealer- and shop- serviced and I'm reminded of why I never let other people work on my cars unless absolutely necessary.   Speaking of dealer service. This truck has a 1" stack of records going back to 1995. I put them all in an excel spreadsheet, date/mileage/description.   The CPI spider has been replaced 4 times in 85k miles. The EGR? Another 4. Multiple, multiple O2 sensors. One Cat. 4? Sets of plugs and wires, and I swear half the stack is diagnosis paperwork for "misfire, runs rough, extended crank, dies at stoplights".   GM was producing some proper crap back then. And it was still well within the era of brittle/crappy plastic. (Windows 95 was released the same month this truck was sold new, we HAD the technology!!)   There (was) a plastic shroud around the evaporator core and HVAC fan in the engine bay. I noticed a chunk of it missing so I poked at it some more and it literally shattered. Touched it some more and pieces were crumbling off. Had a good laugh. Clearly whatever plastic garbage they were using had broken down over 30 years and was literally turning to dust. That was a good half hour of using a shop vac to remove the rest of it.   Back to it.   I was going to give up for the evening but then decided I'm already level 10 pissed off at the stripped screw: G* D* it, give me my tools back -- and my JOY. We'll do this the hard way: The whole intake is coming off.   Blazer won Round II. After finally finding and accessing the 12 intake bolts and using a pry bar to unseat it from the heads, it popped loose in an explosion of gunk and grime raining down into open ports. Awesome.   6 times I reminded myself: Be careful of the temperature sender on the front of the intake.   YEAH, I forgot again and snapped it clean off in the removal. Add another $20 to the ever-growing list of new parts this thing is consuming.   The shame is, long before removing the intake, I had changed the oil in prep for Tuesday's momentous fuel line replacement that was going to be the magic fix and I'd have a running Blazer to tool around in this next weekend. The intake removal, including raining gunk, also gushed dirty coolant all over the valley. Of course it did. Welp, there goes another $35.   I now need an intake gasket set, bolt set, coolant temp sensor, another 5 quarts of oil, some RTV. Don't worry, I've already got 3 new jugs of Dexcool and a thermostat waiting. I'll fill it with clean water first to get it running, dump it, and then add the Dex later on in case... well, let's not go there. I'm only tearing this down once, next time the truck is going on Marketplace for FREE.   Oh, and I'm going to need vacuum hose for all the stupid connections placed at the rear of the engine which have since disintegrated. Come on, GM....tell me you don't do that anymore?   Oh, and the ears on the distributor where the cap screws down are both cracked. I mean, why not put a new distributor in it too. You get a distributor, YOU get a distributor, Everyone gets a new distributor!   This truck isn't out of the woods yet...I'm already questioning how much more time I'm willing to sink in.

      Bent valve in 2025 GMC Canyon Denali - Requires engine swap at 14K miles

      By William Aldrich · Posted

      NewDude, thank you for the suggestions!    I did follow up and the dealer indicates he has an open CX case and is working with DPAC (Dealer Parts Assistance Center).   Per the dealer, GM has had a quality spill and is not providing an update for when a replacement engine will be available.
