Looking into a Sierra tomorrow. Was going to take advantage of the 0% and no payment for 120 days. Just curious is there a certain percentage off MSRP I should look for?

take the rebate......I heard the deferred payment applies regardless of 0 %

 

you would have to weigh the rebate and 0% but just the financing isn't good enough....you still have flexibility on how fast you want to pay it off regardless, but youll pay less interest if you get standard loan....to get 0% your credit is already solid so....

Got a 2020 LT trail boss this weekend MSRP 55,105 Discounted to 44,147 Was out the door for 49k (no trade in so tax was high) This is my first modern Chevy. I had a 68 Chevelle that I restored

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

Thanks for the response.

So in order to get the 0% I’d most likely have to just settle for whatever rebates they offer and not negotiate any more?

You generally would get fewer rebates to get 0%.  They basically roll the interest into the cost of the vehicle.  It's a shell game.

its usually nothing on rebate only whatever the dealer discount is. but they will make a play for either or I am sure.....with a lot of peeps getting 12k off plus youll never pay that much in interest....not on a low interest loan anyway and if you can get 0% than surely you can get 3-4% from credit union....maybe less

 

seems a lot of buyers can get 12-13k off so no reason why you cant...just have to be willing to walk away

Is there any specific dealers most people are going to now for the best deals.  When I bought back in 16, Laura was one of the best.  Not hearing much about them on this forum.  With all the possible deals I'm looking to possibly upgrade.  I'm in Nebraska, but willing to travel anywhere for the right deal.

Laura still has good pricing though others are getting similar with dealers around them.....on the HD trucks it seems to be a bigger factor as discounts aren't near as much as their little brothers (1500)….and Laura is consistently 8-12k on HD models, on 1500 just about everyone is giving deals.....just have to throw some feelers out and see what comes back

 

or find guys that have purchased on here and see if you can contact their dealers...especially if they are close to you

I wish I would’ve waited a little longer. Bought mine 2 weeks ago and only got 9k off with rebates on a Trail Boss. But I’m also in Southern California which I noticed they sell a little higher. Would’ve had a little more bargaining power considering the economy now.

True. I’m happy with the truck anyways and got a payment lower than I expected at 3% so it’s not bad at all.

stingy mofos out here....always take the rebate even if you qualify for 0% you will still get low digit single and will always be ahead especially at rates that are available now.....they are using rates to suck people in because they know the rebates/discounts overall are customers best friend.....i may be taken a trip out of state

 

i was gonna get that truck last august but damn the price they were getting was damn near full pop...custom TB was a joke so got an RST for about 26% off MSRP....which was fair....lifts and wheels are easy but since i might be trading up to 2500 i am keeping it stock

the truck I’m looking at is around 40k msrp.  With using the 0% finance how much negotiating power do I have to get that price down? The incentives they have (without using the 0%) bring it down to about 32k

 

as a back up plan I’m gonna see what kind of rates my credit union is offering. But I was also interested in the no payments for 120 days

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
