I just went to look at the 2020 Sierra Denali 3.0 I ordered in the spring.  I got my truck (2014 Sierra Denali) appraised and they offered me $8k more than I expected.  The dealer said they have never seen such a low supply of used trucks.  In addition Costco ponied up an additional $1000 rebate  for GM vehicles that can be used at any GM dealer on top of GM incentives.  Credit Union is offering 2.3% up to 75 months.  This is probably the first time in my life I stumbled into such a good environment for buying....

A volume dealer will likely get you a better price than using the Costco rebate.  When we bought the wifes Terrain, if we wanted to use the Costco rebate, the price was going to go up.  It had something to do with how they can stack rebates.

GM will let dealers stack some rebates but not all. I bought my truck from a relatively high volume dealer last month. They had a dealer discount on top of the GM discount. I also qualify for the GM Educator Discount since I'm a school board employee but GM wouldn't allow the dealer to stack their dealer discount on top of mine. But they would allow me to stack my discount on top of the GM offer which was okay with me because it was greater than the dealer discount anyways. So be sure to check and see what combinations will work.

 

Either way, you're right that this is the best time to buy a truck. I had no intentions of trading but my trade offer was $1000 difference from what I paid for my K1 three years ago. I'd be crazy to turn that down.

Inventory is poor in my state (AK) and the dealer was hesitant to work a lot with me but I’m pretty happy with getting my $55k (was almost $57 last month before they discounted the diesels) truck and ~$1000 in accessories for just over $43k.

Seems like a, “six of one, half dozen of the other”, situation. Right now dealers are giving more for trades, but are not discounting/negotiating on new truck prices much. It just depends on your situation. If you are buying without having something of quality to trade, it is probably not a great time to buy.

The local volume dealers that I've been watching are still 10-11k off MSRP.   Which is the same as it was in April/May when I was ready to pull the trigger but they couldn't find what I wanted.

This is what I’ve found too. With plants being shut down for COVID and just now starting to crank out new trucks, trucks are trickling in and dealers are sticking to their guns, especially on higher demand trim models, to keep their lots looking full and knowing that people are chomping at the bit to buy a new vehicle.

The local dealers here still don't have much 2 wheel drive inventory to offer so my trade value is meaningless since there is nothing on the lots I would trade for.

Inventory is horrible here, I was able to (hopefully) snag a 3.0 as it arrived at the dealer. They are giving me almost 4K more for my 17’ than I thought. I’m leaning toward leasing as interest rates are all over the place, not to mention I’ve never owned a Diesel before.

 

Hard to believe I paid 37k for my 17’ LT1 with 17k on it. Almost 3 years later it’s worth 33K.

Most volume stores here are only offering MSRP - GM rebates. That usually comes out to around $7-$8,000 off sticker.

I'd try to find a no-haggle dealership. They usually are discounted off MSRP and then all GM rebates still apply. Usually I shy away from those places as I can normally negotiate a better deal. But the the other dealerships aren't budging off MSRP, I find the no-haggle places a way to snag a better deal. At least that was my experience just recently buying my 2020 Trail Boss.

      Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.

      Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍

      Bringing this thread back on topic. I just noticed the incredible lack of bright chrome across the entire new lineup. Even the Denali has tinted the brightwork in the grille and has none elsewhere. None of them have chrome bumpers. As far as I can tell there aren't even chrome mirror caps. I'm curious if this also happens out back? Are there no chrome rear bumpers either? This is quite the departure for GMC.
