GM Protection Plan Pricing and Negotiation

Great deal. I just ordered mine yesterday and got 9.6% off plus whatever incentives are available when I take delivery. Had to work very hard for that price.

Yeah, so we are in the same ballpark.

Are you in Canada? It appears the US members of this site are getting better percentage discounts overall.

I ordered a Sierra 3500 Denali Crew Cab, short box - also in Dark Sky Metallic. Looking forward to seeing that colour in person, looks great in the pictures I have seen.

Did you get a good deal? I got about 12% off MSRP, but man did I have to fight for that. In Alberta here, they just won't give up anything on those big trucks.

It's not just you... Big trucks (and small trucks) are where they make their money and they don't want to give that up easily. I factored in everything and ended up in the 7% range, but at the end of the day, I felt OK with it so that's all that matters in the end.

Totally agree with you here. At some level you also have to factor in how well these things keep their value. I sold my 2016 3500 Denali with 47,000 km on it in the high $50's, very easily (dealer was going to give me $51k, no questions asked). The caveat on that is that was in Canada, which is not an apples to apples comparison with the used market in the US.

My dealer offered me an extended warranty, bumper to bumper, 10 years, 150000 miles and my cost was $1500. I jumped on the deal what with all of the technology, cameras, etc. My truck LTZ Dmax and hopefully my last truck as I am 75 already.

Wow - that's a great price.

they do keep their value

I spent 2 months looking and could find brand new trucks cheaper (with rebates and incentives) all day long. I couldn't believe 2 yr old truck was asking more than my brand new 2019 with comparable trims.....I was set to buy used but I couldn't find any low mileage trucks (20k or less) for less than what I paid for brand new.....hopefully that continues when I go to sell

Hi, whats the name of the warranty company that you went with?

Thanks
