Lol, I am so not going to feel bad for a dealership because I bought a truck from them based on the contractual terms they offered me. We're all big boys here. Especially knowing how much they sold my trade for. 

 

And I run a small family business. And I would never pull the kind of sneaky pricing and financing shenanigans on my customers that the car sales industry does on the regular. 

The problem is... no one will go to the dealership who advertises REAL prices. you are doing it to yourself. Everyone wants a $200 a month lease on a new truck... so they advertise it, even though 3 people in the county can actually get that price. if we advertise the REAL price without gm employee discount, without lease loyalty, without all those qualifiers, NO ONE WILL SHOW UP! Wanna know how I know? WE'VE TRIED IT. People would rather be lied to about a good price and go in and get all pissed that they were lied to, than just go to the place that was honest and told you that the truck was going to be $350. Its the human condition. Want it all and not want to pay for it. If someone says you can have it all and not pay for it, you go there... even when you know its too good to be true. People who show up BLOWN AWAY that the price isnt what they saw in the ad confuse me.... like where have you been? this seems like common knowledge at this point...

I NEVER made a payment to GM. Got my 4 or 5k in incentives (and a 7% rate!!) and refinanced about 2 weeks later with a credit union at 2.74%.    I ended up not paying any payments at all for

When I bought my ‘18 the dealer told me the 6 month crap. I refinanced before my first payment and everything was fine. Then I was working a deal on a AT4 and the dealer looked up my past deal and saw

My guys told me 3 months, but said there was no penalty for sooner. In my opinion GM financial is bringing this on themselves for only offering these insane interest rates. Sent from my SM-G975U usi

WOW, the games. I always buy end of the year. Only use dealer finance if it’s 0 percent with the end of the year discounts. Otherwise I use my bank. I can’t believe what I’m reading.

when you get 0% you give up all the rebates though. So really you only have the illusion of paying less.

Like I said, don't hate the player, hate the game. The car and dealership industry are the ones who created this mess precisely from doing things like offering discounts then marking up financing. They have created a long tradition of putting dealers adverse to customers. We car buyers did not write these rules. If the industry wanted to put the actual fair price on the sticker and knock it off with all these discount and financing games, I think that would be great. 

 

GM is one of the worst when it comes to all this stuff. They never put a real price on their vehicles, and put us through all sorts of games.

Exactly. More smoke and mirrors. Always take the rebate and finance somewhere with competitive rates.

its beyond that. They make the rebates SO DIFFICULT to dissect. They leave little traps and when you find out you gave a customer a rebate and you didn't see they had to have a 1992 for escort in the driveway, you cant call the customer and say "oops we gave you a rebate we shouldn't have" no... you just have to eat it. Be mad at GM... but please... don't be mad at the dealership... unless they straight up lie or break your car or something obviously.  Ask ANYONE who works in a car dealership. We hate it too. But its our lively hood, and we don't make the rules, we just play by them.

100%!!! but that guy was like " i  never buy unless its 0 percent" like he's getting a great deal... he didn't even realize he probably paid the exact same in the end... its all about perception. GM always gets theirs.

My dream would be Chevy stores like Apple stores. Everything is the same price at every store. Can i get a discount on the new iphone? NOPE. and they wont give you one over there either. Then people could focus on whats really important... DO YOU LIKE THE CAR? too many people buy based on a payment. I buy stuff I like.

The issue with that business model is twofold. First, the public is so used to haggling on vehicles that it would cost you a lot of deals holding firm on price, even if the price is a great value and say 10k under the “old MSRP”. 

 

Couple that with the fact that you have Ram advertising 20-30% off and not many people would show up at a Chevy dealer, even if the sale price was competitive or better than Ram as far as value.

 

Lots of companies tried and failed this method. It works okay for Apple because their product is so unique. It failed for JCPENNEY because when they stopped running sales and marketed everything as an “every day low price”, the sheep people just went to other places where items are marked up just to be put on sale.

 

People are dumb, need to feel like they are getting a deal even if they aren’t, and that’s not gonna change.

No,not always. There’s dealers advertising now. 0-72 plus discounts. With this being a slow sales year they’ll be more around September. As I said if the discounts are higher I finance at my bank.

Every dealership is playing with the same deck of cards brother. No one has more rebates than anyone else. Some dealers are just willing to lose more money on the sale and hope for the payout if they hit their unit bonuses with chevy. if you ever hear an advertisement for one dealer advertising "employee price for everyone" they are using rebates to do it. No store has magic rebates as good as much as they will make you believe that they do.

As I said they started already and will get better. We have one dealer owners group offering warranty forever on all their brands. You know a manufacturer doing that? Brother.

If you wait the 6 months to refinance you'll have to pull your credit TWICE for the purchase of one vehicle. That imo is a bigger deal than the money you'll be losing especially if you plan on taking out a loan or line of credit shortly after.

      Your tire pressure issue may just be batteries, you can reset them using tge Ing switch (I think) and the owner's  manual. ChatGTP will b e a faster, better help than Google.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      The thinking is that starting out in a higher gear makes it easier to avoid applying excessive torque when pressing the gas pedal. In a modern 4wd truck with 4 low and a limited slip or locking rear end, I would use 4 low and try to crawl up the ramp. Sometimes if they are too slippery, you have to back up to let the boat have some bouyancy, and then accelerate briskly to get some momentum to help you pull the through the slippery parts.

      I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.

      Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.

      Multigate electrical problem

      By Another JR · Posted

      The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.
