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

And look at what we are getting now vs. 1991.  So much more power, comfort, room, capability.  

 

You could buy a used truck today for $18k and it would still be nicer than what was being sold in 1991.

Yep. I bought my 2007 1500 CC TX Edition for $20K, actually. (Thanks, recession!) 

 

That was probably the height of value for truck buying. We won't see that again.

OTD??

No, sale price.  Taxes, spray in liner and bed cover added to my over all cost.  It being a double cab helped.  They don't move them as fast as the Crew Cabs.  Before I was ready, they had the same truck, except with the 6.2L @ $40,000 roughly.  Once it dropped to that price it was gone next day.

Hey guys,

 

First of all, I am located in Canada. I'm working on a deal for a 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 Limited, 4x4, Extended Cab, Std Bed, 5.3L V8.

MSRP: $46,054 (plus $2500 in freight, handling fees, etc) which then totals $48,752. They are removing $1025 worth of dealer installed accessories, at my request. The salesman is giving me a price of $46,000 (including $2500 in freight, handling fees, etc. Not sure why he included that in the price, as it just makes it a little confusing.), minus $5750 GMC credit, for an adjusted price of $40,250 (before TTL).

This is at 0% financing. He said if he discounts the truck anymore, it would have to be at a higher financing rate (which doesn't work for me, since I won't be paying off the balance immediately). Or he could get me the next trim up, and give me a bigger discount, BUT the final price/payments will be higher (which I don't want).

 

Apparently, if I was a Costco member, I would get preferred pricing, which means around $3000 off. I asked them to give me that discount anyway, but they said they couldn't.

 

What do you guys think? Looks like it's just under 15% off MSRP, but it just doesn't seem like the dealer discount is very high. I think they're trying to take advantage because I'm a woman. ? I got a much better deal on my civic (but it didn't have as much of a discount from the manufacturer).

Why would you not drive (or maybe even just sign up online) to Costco, give them $55, to get your additional $3K off?

Unfortunately, you need to have been a Costco member since July 2, 2019 or earlier.

So, sign up now and get the truck in a month...

And remember, 0% financing = them shoving all the interest in the vehicle price or your tradein

 

It sounds like the salesman is doing a good job of working you over with the numbers.

Yep, for sure. Like I said, it doesn't sound like a very good deal. (Don't even get me started on my trade. I never mentioned that in my original post because I haven't started negotiating on that yet, but his offer was absurd. )

 

The Costco offer expires on Sept 3, so signing up now won't help, unfortunately.

Sierra 1500 SLT Premium Plus, X31 and sunroof. MSRP of $59,495. Dealer is offering $50,571. Decent price? I feel like they could do better but they tell me there’s no more room. That’s with my supplier discount through my job.

They could definitely do $2-3K better pretty easily, IMO. Depends on what rebates are out and that your qualify for, though.

That’s what I figured. The only discounts are from rebates and nothing taken out from the dealer. They complained that Supplier Discount costs them money, so I asked them to explain knowing these programs are supported by the manufacturer. They stumbled and said “but we have to provide proof of the sale before they get that money”. Very true, but they still get the money. Why should I feel bad about that? It works the same way in consumer electronics which is what I do.

12k off should be easy.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I usually do as well or better than the sticker for mileage. Usually better going west than east. North then South. Wind makes a difference. I’m not usually a conspiracy theorist. But it did dawn on me I’m going by the vehicle calculation. Now that would be interesting.

      What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.

      People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.

      Poll: Does your truck have the rear window leak?

      Glad you had success with it. I did as well, but about 5-6 months later it returned. Tried again, same result. This was after the dealer made several attempts and never even got it to slow down.
