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

I bought my 2017 Sierra from Laura and there was no catch for me. The price they show is the price you get - I was really surprised by how smooth the whole experience was. In regards to finance, I think it depends on the rebates etc but I was originally going to get financing myself and they didnt seem to care - ended up getting financed through them because of time issues. Interest rate was not terrible

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

So I am looking at a few RST models at some local dealerships.  Are the prices listed on carguru.com usually a ploy to get you into the dealership or are they fairly close to what you will pay?  Example:

Listing Summary

Dealer's Price: $38,476

MSRP: $52,105

Mileage:10 miles

Transmission:8-Speed Automatic

Exterior Color:Brown Metallic

Interior Color:Black

Engine:V8

Drivetrain:Four-Wheel Drive

 

Major Options

Trailering Package - $395

Convenience Package - $1,285

Convenience Package II - $1,420

All-Star Edition - $2,075

Z71 Off-Road Package - $1,245

That’s one heckuva deal on that RST. 

 

Usually, that price is with every single rebate and allowance possible included. You might not qualify for some of them. Sometimes those include some kind of value on your trade in, too. So if you’re not trading in, you might not see that final price. It’s best to read the fine print or call them and get very specific with the dealer. Ask them to list out every single rebate they are offering, and what it takes to qualify for it.

So am I an idiot for waiting until they're offering 0% financing on the 2020s then using my Preferred Pricing Discount to get invoice plus 1.5%? A lot of the prices I see here have to be lower than invoice but I haven't really heard of anyone in Canada getting those types of deals.

I really don't get these numbers. 

 

2019 Chevy 1500 RST - All Star Package - V8

 

Putting 1500 down to cover all the upfront stuff. Took me a while and got these numbers. This is all they would give me. Thoughts?

Without knowing the residual and MF (money factor) you really can’t say anything about lease. Go on Leasehackr or Edmunds forums to figure out what the residual and MF are this month for your ZIP and you’ll know if you’re getting a good deal. That number doesn’t seem bad on the surface but again, without knowing those 2 things you really can’t tell. In addition you can ask your dealer to provide it but make sure you still ask inn Edmunds so you know they’re not marking it up.

Yup. You nailed it.

Got mine for 11k off sticker.

However, we got lucky somewhat imo.

Part of the 11k rebate was to finance with GM for at least 6 months. However, in the end we didnt have to and, were still able to get the full 11k off. 

Like you say, you just have to ask and see what happens.

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?

I keep an eye on these and for the past few months, Truck Month (June) had the best incentives recently.  I worked a few dealers hard to put together a deal last month but could not get any of them where I needed the deal to be in order for me to pull the trigger.  Then, going back and looking over their inventories, they have indeed SOLD all of the AT4's I had looked at.  AT4's are fairly hot and supply is somewhat low.  You know what that means as a consumer.

I love my AT4 but dealers around me wouldn't budge much.  Incentives from GM were nice though.  Think mine was 53k MSRP, then 62k after options, 54k sticker price after incentives.

      Replacing 2.7L on 2021 Silverado with 2023 2.7L

      I’m definitely interested to hear the end result here.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.
