Can someone tell me how I did.

truck was $38k msrp I did not qualify for all discounts form gmc but it was  from $53k. With taxes OTD I got it for $44k. 

1500 Sierra SLT 2019.

 

the dealer added $1800 when I got there paint and theft protection on all their vehicles. Regardless it was still $44k OTD. 

 

Pleasee let me know

$44k on an SLT is pretty good. That extra $1800 they got you for would’ve been enough for me to walk out though. Nothing but off the top profit for them.

I knew it. They insisted they couldn’t take it off cuz there was a lot of burglary in the area and it’s always dust there so paints gets bad quickly. So they had that applied on all vehicle. While no GMC were able to price match them either. 

 

UPDATE!! Someone from GMC dealership called me that they need me to sign contract again cuz they lost money at $44k OTD. So they are able to claim some $1k rebate. They are 3 hours away. Should I sign co tract again?? He assured

me no payment will Change  he nor my interest rate. He will be coming tomororw morning pls let me know if this is ok?

Have them send you an electronic version or in the mail and you can evaluate.  Driving 3 hours 1 way to sign something is outrageous.

Looks fantastic, I've got one in black.

 

What product was used and how much did you pay?  I got a quote at a place near me and the OTD price for the coating was high but reasonable but requiring hand washes or the warranty gets voided caused me pause.  I simply don't have time to be hand washing twice a month.  Or the ability to hand wash in the winter months.

1) would they do this if your position were reversed? ;)

 

2) I bought mine over the internet from 5 plus hours away, they delivered all paperwork to me, they even delivered the vehicle.

Just got a call from the guy he is sending someone from GMC dealer that’s near my house

so I guess that’s less suspicious. But I will evaluate

He was actually from Gilroy 3 hours away. Everything was the same except MSRP was higher but nothing changed but couple   Dollars.

Yea theres lots of options out online hard to dig through the shit products! I'll check and see what this is called. I have a buddy that does it and wanted 1600 to do the truck! It's a little work to do yourself but worth doing!

I used AvalonKing Ceramic coat. It worked out great. Application process is time consuming but worth it in the end. You can put it on basically all surfaces on the truck other then seats. Now water just repels off of it and dust/dirt blows off with an air hose from my compressor! I put it on my windshield and i dont even need windshield wipers hardly now. They recommend 3 bottles for a large truck, i bought 4 to be safe but only used about 2.5 total. I plan on using the rest on my tractor and boat. Heres a link to their site if your interested, https://avalonking.com/ref/ryanvaught/. I may start a new tread and include some before and after pics as well as video of how water repellent it is.

Thanks for the info.  I had seen that product before.

 

What's your plan for maintenance?  Hand washes only? If you're in Arkansas, I guess you don't have to worry about snow too much.

 

That's my main hangup right now.  I don't mind spending the time if it lasts 3 years but I'll need to use Automatic washes.  Decent, higher quality ones, but still automatic.  If it's just going to last 6 months because of that, the value drops off of a cliff for me.

I plan on hand washing biweekly/using air hose to spray off in between if needed. Not much snow here so i dont have to worry about that much at all!

What is fair to negotiate off the MSRP at this point with the 2020 models just weeks away.  is asking for 25% off MSRP asking to much?

    • 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.
