So... Long story short. I bought a 2021 Trailboss the other day, and recently we had a new Costco store open up in our area.  At the dealers advice I became a Costco Member and they gave me the 1,000 Costco discount.  Today, Costco calls me and asks if I saw the invoice, and if I saw the Costco Member price sheet?  I assume I saw the invoice, but I definitely did not see the Costco Member Pricing sheet.  Based on CostoAuto.com, the trucks are listed about $3,000 below MSRP.  However, I also got the GM employee discount (not typical) because of the current promotion.  Is it safe to assume the GM Discount is not on top of the Costco Members pricing?  and that I did get the better deal.  Or should the dealer have used the Costco pricing Minus GM Discount Minus 1,000 Additional Costco Savings?  Looking to see what others have received, before I question the dealer.  TIA

I work in sales at a GMC dealer - Your pricing should be employee pricing less $1000 Costco incentive.  Employee pricing cannot be combined with supplier pricing etc.

 

Also, normally the $1K Costco incentive is only valid if you are a current member and were a current member as of Oct 1, but maybe it's different in your region.

Costco auto would have been better last month as employee pricing and costco member pricing are about the same and don't combine, you get whatever is better.  Rebates are on top of the member pricing so you would have gotten a better deal in november with the $3500 on top of the $1000 and costco pricing.  I am hoping my new one that I ordered in october doesn't come in till after christmas so I can pick it up in january when hopefully there are rebates, but still get the extra $1000 costco rebate that ends on January 4th.

Bummer it was worth a shot.  Good to know Costco has some good prices..  next time I won't have to wait for GM employee pricing to get a better deal.  Because our store just opened in mid November,  Costco waved the Oct. 1st deadline.  I just had to call the Costco Auto Customer Service number and they gave me the authorization number.

I just purchased a 2021 RST Crew 4x4 with the 3.0 Duramax on 12/12/2020. Leather package, Z71 etc. They gave me the Costco discount along with all other available discounts.

$56,100 MSRP

-$5,206 Employee discount for all  

-$2,500 Chevrolet consumer cash

-$1,000 Costco discount

Ended up being $47,394 plus tax/lic

Was the rig on the lot? I am being told that you have to take delivery by Dec 31 to get Employee Pricing. So if you can't find the rig of your dreams and have to order you get the pricing at the time of delivery. Which sucks.

Yes, two identical trucks on the lot. I purchased one and another guy came in right behind me and purchased the second one.

I purchased my 2021 SLT with Premium Plus, X31, and Sunroof this past Saturday. 

 

I received ALL incentives PLUS the Costco discount as well. 

 

Costco's Website specifically says that you can combine all offers. Be sure to check the website, check the certificate they give you, and make sure that your membership qualifies. I actually took the time to call the Costco department that handles this incentive and spoke with them to ensure that what I read and understood was correct. Once I shared with the dealer I had the Costco discount, they immediately looked it up to make sure that promo was still going and and literally just took off $1,000.

Same here, I bought a 2021 RST on Monday and got the employee pricing, $2500 customer cash, $1000 Costco discount (with my company's Costco business card ?) AND $1300  of free Dealer installed options.  Too bad taxes, Doc. Fee, title and registration fees add up to $2000 ?.

    • Length/amount of data capture will be important to consider, sifting through 5 minutes of a data log can be enormous when it is stored in milliseconds. Being able to find the 'event' let alone decipher it.   Presumably the driver would notice something and hit a button to capture the 'window' of data. That window has to be large enough for the operator to recognize the event and react accordingly.    The data has to be able to be retrieved easily.   The data has to be able to be understood. Which is the biggest challenge, dealer techs won't even know what most of it is and would likely not even look at it if an owner brought it to them. Meaning the owner, the least educated/qualified, trying to understand it.    How will the data be presented? Could specific PIDs be selected and a timelapse graph be watched? How will a specific value be noted as abnormal? Additionally, a good data logger would be able to 'learn' normal values for a specific vehicle and flag abnormalities automatically. It could in theory watch parameters degrade over time and suggest maintenance as needed. (If the MAF reading begins tapering off for a given set of other readings - MAP, throttle position, Ambient, etc.. a flag to check air filter.) With the amount of data available, a device (really the vehicle rather than an additional accessory) should be able to do more than issue a DTC. It should be able to run the full diagnostic suite automatically and present a solution rather than a code. (It's not the 90's anymore). The technology is available for the vehicle to not just say "P0087", it should know low fuel pressure, check other PIDs to narrow down the problem itself, and determine if it is a lift pump, high pressure pump, regulator, leak in the fuel line, clogged filter, etc. Even if it can't narrow it down, it should be able to guide the user to the likely problems.   This would be a major problem for dealer service departments, which are the manufacturers customers it is in their collective best interest to NOT have this available to the consumer.   Further, if the owner is going to be the primary consumer of the data, it's got to be at a consumer price point vs. dealer only specialty tool price.   This group is more 'involved' in their vehicle than general public/consumer and will have knowledge, experience, needs and desires that are quite different from the market at large.   
    • I put the prof up. If you read what I posted. You can see that housing, cars and income are in line with the era we were talking about. It’s harder in some places easier in others. Let’s agree to disagree and put this back on track, OK? We both are pretty stubborn and hard headed. But I bring receipts. If you wish I will not respond to you in the future. 
    • Lets see if I can sum up two pages of nothing useful.    You want to refute your own governments data of the "Purchasing Power" Index FOR THE ENTIRE USA and its territories replacing it with the experience of a single family and its business and label that reality?  Then pound on that for a week hoping it will find traction?    Stan, I've told you several times. I don't do irrational. There are more people in the USA than your family.    I'm pretty sure this tread is so blown up. I'll give you a few days or months if need be to post yourself silent then I'll see if I can find enough parts of the train to reassemble it. 
    • Facebook groups hate VSE, poor customer service; their responses to criticisms are pretty poor for a reputable company. I'm not a customer, haven't bought anything from them, but how they handle themselves on social media is a definite "No" for me. 
    • $10,000 for a transmission?   Pretty sure I could buy all the parts, tools, and education to rebuild it myself for a quarter of that amount.   or swap it out with a new one...
