I'm experiencing a terrible situation where most (if not all) southern California Chevrolet and GMC dealers are required to sell every new 2021 Silverado/Sierra pickups for OVER MSRP. None of the salesman or manager is willing to budge on price. Some are as high as $5,000 dealer markup, regardless of trim. Trail-Boss or AT4 as high as $7,500 dealer markup. Buying at invoice price is totally dead-deal at this moment, and dealers ask me to leave the premise immediately. They all stated truck shortage or chip shortage, whatever the reasons. Pay at MSRP sticker price exact is a rare case-by-case basis only at this moment.

 

Is the inventory shortage really that bad nationwide?

 

What about other US states? Do you have this same issue? It's possible it may be a California only state problem, due to overpopulation, and it's not a problem with other US states at all. What about Arizona and Texas? Were you able to buy for invoice (or below) for 2021 models?

I was able to use GM supplier discount on mine last month which took it to right around or just above dealer invoice, not sure if they are required to take that or not. Honestly there are enough quirky issues with these trucks that you might as well wait for the new model and see what happens. Used ones should start popping up left and right then (albeit at not much cheaper than the cost of a new '22 most likely).

Trucks aren't worth more... the dollar is worthless. 😂 Hang on I think a 2x4x8 will soon be in $20 territory, anybody wanna bet on $100 for a sheet of plywood?

Buy a Toyota if this is GM's new way to sell a truck.🤔   Let the lot know what you are doing, then bring back the Tundra and show them your new truck.   I am one of the most loyal

Requirement?  LMAO.  No such thing.     Its greedy dealers taking advantage of the market and low inventory.     Plus incentives are low right now as well.

I ordered a 2021 Denali last night from Laura GMC.  It is a five hour drive, but worth it.  They are about the only one around selling for below MSRP.   I got it $3,960 off MSRP (plus any incentives) when it arrives in 8 - 12 weeks.

I’m in Ventura and I just bought a Silverado High Country from Paradise with employee pricing and the current incentives. No markups and no hassles at all. PM for the name of the salesman that helped me out if you’re interested.

Go to cars.com and click new trucks.. even with the ongoing shortage, I am still able to find good deals. We bought one from Quality Chevrolet in San Diego. I recommend them.

Quality Chevy has a whopping zero in stock. For sure anyone that can wait to buy should wait. However, you might be waiting a while if you are looking for a 4wd crew cab.

I just did the same last week.  I wasn’t really looking, but ended up trading my ‘18 LTZ Redline on a new RST Redline.  Used truck prices are crazy too, so I had a bunch of upside on the ‘18 from when I purchased it used last year.

Reynolds in west Covina has a few and no markup it looks like....

 

One salesman there was pretty straight shooter out of all the schisters I went thru but he just didn't have the truck I wanted at the time so I didn't go thru whole process with him but seemed decent......Rudy Knobloch is the salesman there.....

Just the region you live in.  They charge more because they know they can get more.  Found this at local dealer.  GM incentives are less because they don't need to offer as much as inventory is low.  Local dealer who typically has around 50-75 trucks (GMC & Chevy) has only 7 Chevy and 1 GMC.  All low level trims except this one.  Grab a parachute and a plane ticket.

Around here, if you can find one, the 1500's have the current GM incentive which is about $4k. Popular builds are hard to come by, and it's unlikely you'll negotiate more off than that. 

 

I just picked up one of the last 2020's which had been sitting on the lot for more than 5 months. Total incentive was almost $6k off MSRP. Not sure why it sat so long...it was PDI'd in december and only had 50 miles on it when I bought it. Not a dealer trade, either.

 

I was expecting 2nd stickers and maybe not finding the truck I wanted. Saw this one and bought it on the spot!

Perfect... When you saw one Sierra truck in-stock, did you see any window sticker showing dealer accessories, dealer markups, and etc.? Thanks.

we just emailed selling price or OTD price.....I never actually go to the dealership, last 3 trucks i bought all had addendums but i didnt pay and all were done online,  but now may be different.....Rudy gave me a good sell price right off the bat twice......right now may different but i did see their website and they had one for 7k off msrp with no markups nd they had like 19 sierra 1500s......you just have to email them and see what they say..........there are some deals i am sure.....you have to be aggressive and if your too low they stop communication, lol.......ball is in their court right now so

 

negotiating is more about you and how you handle it.....just hit them up and see what they say

Wow!  I thought I did good.  I bought for $48k in '16 and sold for $40.8k.  Only losing $4k over 8 years is crazy!  Gotta wonder who is buying a 2012 and paying $38+.  

people want the older tech for service and tuning i guess, reliability parts are cheap

There are deals to be had if you hunt enough.  Some dealers are still for example honoring GM Supplier discounts.  They are rare!   Around here none of the dealers are honoring discounts, I've seen as much as $10k tacked on as a "high demand fee".  Some dealers are forcing the purchase of extended warranties, others are changing the pricing when you show up to pick up the vehicle.   Also they don't have to deal, people are coming in offering full MSRP and even ordering at full MSRP, it's like the home market now, if you want to buy a house offering more than the asking price is the norm.

 

That said by hunting around a lot, I was able to find a dealer still honoring GM supplier, and good to deal with.  However, I contacted dealers I've dealt with before and unless you were paying MSRP you were not worth their time to even return contact.

In Colorado, they are paying top $$$$ for used trucks. We just don't have any inventory to sell. Before I picked up my 2500, looking at used prices, they all seemed to be within a few thousand of what a new truck was going for. So we went new, I got real lucky, I was looking for a Chevy 2500 Custom crewcab, long box with the 5th wheel prep, there were none to be found on a lot within almost 200 miles of me. Happened to stop at a dealership, they had just pulled a GMC 2500 SLE crew longbos with the 5th wheel prep....off the car carrier....someone was looking out for me....I was desperate....the need for a truck was outweiging the ability to fight for a deal, but I wlaked out with only 1500 in dealer fees, and about that is discounts, so paid sticker

I just got my used 19 RST z71 Crew with 25k miles last month, love the truck. I had to bird dog this truck at the lot till it was up for sale it had a title issue and had to be weighed (some CO law states it had to match the title listed weight and it came from out of state), talked to the sales manager they said I was luck to grab it, tucks and basically any good used car/suv does not staying on the lot very long. Their used lot was basically half empty and most of the vehicles were either already sold or being transferred out to other locations for other buyers.

      2024 Silverado 2500 HD with the 6.6 Gas (L8T) Engine

      How many miles were on the truck when you bought it and was there some form of oil change history generated through a dealer or an independent shop although not much would show up if the owner had changed their own oil. Just curious if it was a maintenance issue or if there was something off from the start, surely one would think the original owner would have realized it was using a lot of oil, its hard to go back in time and find out the true story of mysteries like this. Well hopefully the warranty company will go for it and just install a new engine, that would be the ideal outcome.    I still have so few miles on my truck as per not quite 9000 and will be changing the oil shortly which has around 2700 miles on it or so and its down so little on the dipstick from where it was at the beginning of this oil change that I could make the "claim" that it uses no oil but in reality would be a very small amount, less than a 1/16 of an inch. Just driving empty/not towing and easy driving so hard to say what it would do if it had a load behind it for oil consumption. So far very impressed with the very minimal oil usage.

      Doors lock and mirrors fold in while driving

      By BIGBOYS · Posted

      I have a 2015 Silverado and sometimes I can not get in to the truck. I use the key to unlock the driver door. Something is locking the truck when I unlock it, last night I left the truck open and this morning it was locked with the mirrors folded in. This happens while driving so it is now a safety issue. I reach down for the folding button and they open, then they close again.  Any advice, thank you,   Ed

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      tl; dr I've now reached the 6th floor of hell. I'm chronicling my journey for my morning readers.   Pulling the top of the intake apart was moderately easy but it involved a lot of parts, connections, and minutae. I was preparing for the new fuel lines to arrive ("nut and bolt kit" it's called). The fuel line connections are notched and held in place by the manifold and a metal plate with a T27 screw.   It's on the back of the intake, under the firewall, with little clearance, and two hard metal fuel lines in the way. I was using Franken-tools (weird combinations of 1/4 inch ratchet with/without an extension, with a bit holder for my T27) to get in there. One of my sockets and bits fell off and has yet to emerge on the floor. I lost a second setup and that's when I almost started throwing tools. But that was the point at which I had gotten traction on the Torx head, and it promptly stripped. No more traction.   I started humming "1-877-kars-4-kids" because I was about at that point. You know what? I'm $1500 into this thing and I can make it disappear just as quickly. This isn't fun anymore. I had spent a lot of time already "tidying" around the engine bay: Fixing all the "someone's been here before!" BS. The truck has been exclusively dealer- and shop- serviced and I'm reminded of why I never let other people work on my cars unless absolutely necessary.   Speaking of dealer service. This truck has a 1" stack of records going back to 1995. I put them all in an excel spreadsheet, date/mileage/description.   The CPI spider has been replaced 4 times in 85k miles. The EGR? Another 4. Multiple, multiple O2 sensors. One Cat. 4? Sets of plugs and wires, and I swear half the stack is diagnosis paperwork for "misfire, runs rough, extended crank, dies at stoplights".   GM was producing some proper crap back then. And it was still well within the era of brittle/crappy plastic. (Windows 95 was released the same month this truck was sold new, we HAD the technology!!)   There (was) a plastic shroud around the evaporator core and HVAC fan in the engine bay. I noticed a chunk of it missing so I poked at it some more and it literally shattered. Touched it some more and pieces were crumbling off. Had a good laugh. Clearly whatever plastic garbage they were using had broken down over 30 years and was literally turning to dust. That was a good half hour of using a shop vac to remove the rest of it.   Back to it.   I was going to give up for the evening but then decided I'm already level 10 pissed off at the stripped screw: G* D* it, give me my tools back -- and my JOY. We'll do this the hard way: The whole intake is coming off.   Blazer won Round II. After finally finding and accessing the 12 intake bolts and using a pry bar to unseat it from the heads, it popped loose in an explosion of gunk and grime raining down into open ports. Awesome.   6 times I reminded myself: Be careful of the temperature sender on the front of the intake.   YEAH, I forgot again and snapped it clean off in the removal. Add another $20 to the ever-growing list of new parts this thing is consuming.   The shame is, long before removing the intake, I had changed the oil in prep for Tuesday's momentous fuel line replacement that was going to be the magic fix and I'd have a running Blazer to tool around in this next weekend. The intake removal, including raining gunk, also gushed dirty coolant all over the valley. Of course it did. Welp, there goes another $35.   I now need an intake gasket set, bolt set, coolant temp sensor, another 5 quarts of oil, some RTV. Don't worry, I've already got 3 new jugs of Dexcool and a thermostat waiting. I'll fill it with clean water first to get it running, dump it, and then add the Dex later on in case... well, let's not go there. I'm only tearing this down once, next time the truck is going on Marketplace for FREE.   Oh, and I'm going to need vacuum hose for all the stupid connections placed at the rear of the engine which have since disintegrated. Come on, GM....tell me you don't do that anymore?   Oh, and the ears on the distributor where the cap screws down are both cracked. I mean, why not put a new distributor in it too. You get a distributor, YOU get a distributor, Everyone gets a new distributor!   This truck isn't out of the woods yet...I'm already questioning how much more time I'm willing to sink in.
