Have you asked for a buy back, or a trade allowance to get out of the truck?
 
If you are this unhappy with the truck, GM has to know by now.
No as the issues continue to be marked as "unable to replicate".

Requested a new service advisor, felt kind of bad but I needed to make sure that they were completely clear that I'm done playing games. Ended up basically telling him that his techs are incompetent and that I shouldn't be able to diagnose the root causes of a problem better than they are with all their certificates and degrees and tools.

Got into it with him a bit about why my 2003 2500HD shifts better than my brand new truck. (It's shifting okay, not brilliant. Not a trans Issue as far as I can tell. Likely a tuning Issue. once it complets 1-2 shift it's hitting the drivetrain Hard with a burst of torque. 90% sure it tore a mount.)

This will be my final attempt. If I still can't get to a resolution I will be pursuing other options very aggressively.

Have you asked GM if you can take it to another lot?

 

Most times another dealer does not want to inherit a warranty claim, but this seems to be at that point.

Next nearest large dealer is 400 miles south. There is one about 250 miles south too but they aren't as large.

I’m in an arm wrestling match kinda right now with my salesman. I’m going back later today to see if I can squeeze more than $9000 off msrp. Which actually is probably a good deal due to zero inventory in my local area. Well I’ll know later today.

I've tried to talk to smaller dealerships, they will only do the gm supllier and rebate. A couple larger dealers have trade assistance and down payment assistance options, I'll try those next. Don't know how to go about asking to see the invoice price and taking rebates and discounts off those.

Walk in and immediately ask for invoice price, & tell them your going to start there. If they say no or anything besides a positive response walk.

Finally it’s mine. 2020 Silverado 1500 Crew Cab short box LTZ with the 6.2. $57615 msrp. $48500 before tax. I wanted $10k off msrp. But. Under the current circumstances of inventory shortage. Especially in my multi state region in the north east. I think I got a very fair deal. It was a great buying experience. Although it took longer than expected. Due to the factories being shut down for 2 months.  The haggling was very humorous. Everyone was polite and professional. I will say that this truck is a behemoth compared to my little Corolla.

Got a 2020 1500 RST with convenience I & II, leather, all star package, trailer package. Got a spray on bed liner and tints included in the deal.

 

MSRP $50k

OTD $40k.

 

was 38k without taxes etc. 

 

got the $5500 cash incentive

costco $1500 

lease incentive $1500

first responder incentive and dealer gave me $4500. 
 

car was not in stock but had one with vin assigned and leaving factory. Should arrive in 1-2 weeks. 
 

Paperwork signed and all. Financed through GM.

 

my question - now that it’s July do I still get all my rebates? 

I've got an RST that supposed to be in this week. The lease on my 2017 Silverado is up the end of this month. Assumed I'd get the $1,500 lease loyalty but reading the fine print says you have to be leasing the new vehicle as well, maybe that's not the case. Will probably finance this truck to get the $5,000 cash allowance.

It also applies to finance. Someone in my household has a lease so it counted for me. Difference between lease and finance in payment was not much. So I went the finance route and got the truck for almost 14k off MSRP. Couldn’t pass that up. Absolutely love the truck. Got free black side steps, free tints, a bed liner and all weather floor mats.

2020 RST Crew Cab 4x4 Black 5.3L

-All Star Edition

-Convenience package II W/Bucket seats

-Sun Roof

-Trailer Package

-Z71 Package 

 

MSRP 53800

45.5 +TTL.

Not the best deal but after a few months of looking this was the best in my area due to the current inventory shortage. They also gave 2k more on Honda trade than the 3 other quotes I got. Overall there are some things I wish it had that I got accustomed to with the Honda like the Adaptive Cruise Control and 31 MPG but I absolutely love the truck.

    • 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.
