I dealt with 3 dealers direct, and it seemed like only one was willing to deal. I did deal with another through TruCar, but when the sales guy quoted me a price higher than their advertised price, I did not respond. 
 
If you're in Texas, I can pass on the information of the salesman I used. 

Where in Texas are you? I’m in Austin.

I’m hoping for some in sight from those of you who have used employee pricing. Went to a few dealerships yesterday looking at RST‘s and LTZ‘s, dealership seemed unwilling to take their incentives as well as GM consumer cash plus the employee discount, the best they could offer was no dealer fee.I was hoping they would take the employee price for the vehicle minus whatever incentives they are offering is this the case?

I feel like the various discount codes are mostly a marketing ploy and don’t really do much for you. I bought my truck last month and had employee and military codes but it didn’t seem to matter. I think the pricing is just smoke and mirrors. If they give you money somewhere, you’ll lose it somewhere else and end up at the same final number.

yeah idk how all that stuff works but I do know this.....went to a dealer last week who showed me an "invoice" and gave be price below employee pricing and I am not.....I couldn't check it to see if it was but not bad price nevertheless although still higher than what she told me she would do by email which is why I left

 

and secondly last year I somehow qualified for lesse discount that 3 other dealers told me I wouldn't receive when I went in to sign and yet the price was same when I did, it didn't vary from our negotiations thru emails

 

so idk how or what they do....but I think your right they can move the numbers around anyway they want as long as they get their bottom line or above.....as long as you get the deal you want or what your willing to pay let them do whatever they have too......go to 5 dealers and they will all tell you something different, lol

 

3 numbers only matter (well maybe 4)…..selling price, interest rate, trade and maybe ( dealer fees and or addendum stickers if they do it)…..everything else is smoke and mirrors......TTL will vary by state

 

every company has to profit for sure but the way they do it and tactics some use is just ridiculous

42,300 for a 4wd SLT DC. MSRP was 58,500. This was back last summer. 

 

Both convenience packages, color matched fender flares and white frost tricoat. It did have 1800 miles, and I lost two months of warranty but I could care less. Felt like I robbed the place walking out lol. 

 

These trucks will hold a decent value for the foreseeable future as well for anyone that cares. They changed so much from the last generation for the better. Other than a digital gauge cluster and a better infotainment screen, there really isn't a whole lot they can do to these vehicles from this point forward. 

 

Couldn't be happier with my truck.

Yea man thats damn good. I wasnt too far behind you. Sticker was the same, 58,500. Was around like 43xxx. I dont care what magic they have to pull out of their ass to get me somewhere near where i want to be.

Pulled the trigger on an AT4 last week. Crew cab, standard box with the 3.0L is hard to find, ended up buying one in FL & having it shipped up here.

 

Couldn't get them to go more than $12k off MSRP

Nice. How did you work out the shipping? I assume sticker was round low 60s?

Just bought a 19 LT - list was 49k - bought it for 33,500 before taxes. It did have 2,000 miles on it but still sold as new

 Has anyone had luck using GM employee discount with the AT4s? My wife's mom retired GM and she generated a 'code' for me as immediate family. I haven't presented it... yet. More importantly, how about using it concurrently with a military /first responder discount? I'm military. Is it normally one or the other or honor both? 

 

Msrp 65,650(6.2 v8 short box } 

Dealers first offer off MSRP

Discount $6750 (not itemized) 

Rebates : 7k

 

Pretty decent eh? 

Being that the "discount ' isn't itemized I have no idea if the mil discount has been factored in. I like the first offer but they lowballed on my trade in below KBB. Have read numerous news articles today about excess inventory on the used car side and nothing moving so below kbb isn't surprising.

 

This AT4 is in a hard to find color w/the 6.2 so I'm thinking it's going to move! Thx

I payed it - total $ still ended up right around what some closer dealers where offering. Sticker was $65K

    • I hope to high heaven this is wrong. My Chevy farm trucks frame is lasting way longer than a newer Nissan Titan XD I got for a steal, and it only pulls trailers. A decade younger and it's frame is already way rustier than the waxed Chevy I drive across longs and ditches. Also, hasn't Ford been having tones of troubles with rusted frames? 
    • Batteries don’t always show signs of a few years ago my vehicle started fine in the morning and took me to work. After work the battery was completely dead and I needed a jump. No, I didn’t leave anything on and the battery was only a couple months old. It was replaced under warranty. 
    • AFM is confirmed in the Corvette engine, so I'm assuming the higher volume trucks will get it as well
    • If his battery was that bad I would think it would have been showing signs before this that were ignored. Stinks that it happened the way it did in rush hour traffic, but this seems like a pretty fringe scenario. I don't mind it that bad and never turn it off. The only slight annoyance for me is the slight delay between brake to gas, but I have gotten used to it and figure if it can save a little gas why not.
    • That is a good correction. I think “severity” was probably the wrong word for what I meant. What I really mean is closer to event priority, relevance, and actionability — not “this code is severe” or “replace this part.” I agree that a truck can have a lot of trivial or historical communication codes, and if the product starts pushing alerts for every stored or low-value event, people will ignore it very quickly. So the alert logic would need to be filtered. For example, I would not want a random old communication code to generate a push notification by itself. A useful alert would probably need to be based on things like: - new vs historical - active vs stored - repeated vs one-time - duration of the event - whether it happened near the driver-marked symptom - whether it happened together with voltage drop, reset, bus-off, misfire, oil-pressure change, etc. - whether the same pattern repeats under similar conditions So instead of saying “severity,” maybe the product should organize events by affected system and priority. For example: Misfire event: Show misfire counts / roughness first, then fuel trims, RPM/load, DFM/AFM state if available, coolant/oil temp, voltage, and related DTCs. Oil-pressure event: Show oil pressure first, but only in context — RPM, load, oil temperature, coolant temperature, DFM/AFM state if available, voltage, and baseline comparison. Communication event: Show which module/network/message dropped, whether voltage dropped, whether the recorder reset, whether it was active or historical, and whether it repeated. Voltage/reset event: Show battery voltage, crank/wake/sleep state, module reset, communication dropouts, and what came back online first. That also solves the display-order problem you mentioned. The main report should not always show the same fixed list first. It should show the system that appears abnormal first, and then the supporting values for that system. I also agree that the truck already has an oil pressure gauge and MIL. The point would not be to duplicate those. The value would be in showing what else was happening before and after the warning or symptom. For example, if the MIL comes on for a misfire, the truck already told the driver there is a problem. The useful part would be: - which cylinder or bank looked abnormal first - whether it happened after an AFM/DFM transition - whether fuel trims were already moving - whether oil pressure or voltage changed at the same time - whether the same pattern happened previously without a MIL On the OBD port point, I think you may be right for a consumer-facing version. OBD is much easier for the average owner: - easier install - easier removal - inside the cabin - easier phone connection - easier data download - easier to include a pass-through port for another scanner OBD is also the right place for DTCs, freeze frame, VIN, calibration information, Mode 6, and normal scan-tool parameters. The reason I was looking at ECM-side recording is that some events may be gone by the time someone plugs in a scanner, and some powertrain-side network evidence may not be available the same way through the DLC. But I agree that if an OBD-based version can capture enough useful evidence for most owners, that is probably the cleaner consumer product. Maybe the split is: - OBD/DLC version for most consumers - ECM-side version only if it proves it adds evidence that the OBD version cannot get - shop/pro version if deeper powertrain-side event evidence is actually useful So I would not want to force the inline approach if the OBD workflow solves most of the real-world problem. Your last point is probably the key product requirement: the report should be specific to the system showing the abnormality. Not “here are 50 parameters.” More like: “Misfire-related event detected. Here are the misfire/fuel/DFM/context values.” or “Oil-pressure-related event detected. Here is oil pressure compared with RPM/load/temp/baseline.” or “Communication event detected. Here is what dropped, when, and whether voltage/reset happened first.” That is a much better way to think about the report.
