No deals.

No inventory near me. N.W. of Minneapolis.

 Yesterday I paid sticker plus $3000 on a 2022 LTD LTZ. Sticker was a tick under $60,000.

 Crappy deal but got $4500 less than I paid on my 2018 new (69,000 miles) for trade so it's a wash. Sad.

BTW I probably wouldn't have bought a new truck right now but was forced into it due to a dealer service dept. F up.

Oh My...Care to share what the service Dept did to your old truck? Post some pics of your new Ride..

I took my stock 2018 Silverado to Wayzata Chevrolet, Wayzata MN.  for an oil change and a new thermostat.  They called and said the oil cooler lines were leaking so I told them to replace them.

Next day wife is driving home and check engine light comes on along with a low oil message. 

Bottom line the engine ran dry on oil .

It still ran but the damage was done. Bye bye .

I picked up a 2022 LTD LTZ.

Yeah, I live in Arizona. Metro Phoenix. The dealerships I usually deal with are marking stuff up $15,000. Not only that, they’re making you put down $1000 deposit if you want to order a vehicle. Unbelievable.

I read a WSJ article that said 82% of new vehicles sold in January went for OVER MSRP.  This new car shortage will be around for most of 2022 as manufacturers struggle to meet demand.

According to Car Bingo they only buy in select cities in Texas. 
 

Car Pro… isn’t that a podcast. I listened to that one day last summer and the guy thought GM was making Buick’s in NORTH Korea. How clueless can you possibly be?

 

Back to the topic.. dealers around me aren’t marking past MSRP. One smaller Chevy dealer guarantees $1000 off MSRP in addition to any rebates.

The website saves thousands. I never heard the Buick deal. The radio show on Saturday is quite popular.

Carpro use to promote givemethevin.com. The show is based in Dallas with dealerships in different markets that have no hassle prices. California is represented. I belong to carpro but never used their service because I used to buy leftovers at usually 12-15K discounts. I was a high mileage driver. So I traded often. I wasn’t picky about color etc. so I’d buy longest on the lot discounts. So I would have equity on the trade.

Just depends

 

Seen all of the car buying services offer lowest and highest depending on the time I was selling......carmax might be high this month but low next month.....same goes with most of others.....try em all and see who wins out

 

I try to buy biggest discount as well

...not horribly picky....just got a 21 Ram that been sitting since last july....they needed it gone am sure....down the street another dealer with same truck was 10k more....Rams have inventory which kills resale but whatever.....think am done buying for awhile.....still need to sell silverado though....

Wow I am lucky around here one of the largest dealers here is marking them down around $4500.00 average. I picked up a 22 LTD LTZ Z71 6.2L on Mar. 1st. I went back traded it in for another exact one different color yesterday it was $5000.00 off.

Last year I bought a 21 tacoma for MSRP which is hard to do anywhere right now.

I bought my new 22 LTD RST 3.0 diesel early January. Crew cab 4wd, leather, + some other packages. I was content with buying a 1 or 2 year old one if I could find what I wanted. I knew supply was limited. I was looking from Maryland down to NC. ...long story short. Dealer called me from 1/2 mile away.  They wanted full MSRP of course. I finally said I was getting hungry and going elsewhere. They dropped it by $5k right there. I said deal and couldn't be happier. So they will deal with you. Just have to be willing to walk away.

    • Did you ever find a resolution to this? my 2019 Silverado 1500 is showing the exact same headlights issues with the exact same symptoms.  would help a ton if anyone has any advice on this or better yet a known solution..
    • Wawa and Meijer here have ethanol free (88 & 89) I use for my mower and lawn equipment.  Its not much more than reg.  I paid $3.29 a few weeks ago.  
    • 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.
    • NewDude, thank you for the suggestions!    I did follow up and the dealer indicates he has an open CX case and is working with DPAC (Dealer Parts Assistance Center).   Per the dealer, GM has had a quality spill and is not providing an update for when a replacement engine will be available.
    • That's interesting.   There was a factory wire-hole in the back, top of the rear cab, which had a wire for the third brakelight assembly running through it, as well as several holes (10 of them I believe) for all of the studs coming off of the 3rd brakelight assembly itself.   I sealed all of those holes with RTV/silicone as well.   I found it kind of odd, that none of those holes, were sealed with any kind of sealant by the factory - if there was any there, it wasn't very much.   That said, I've been out in heavy rain and have ran the truck through high-pressure car-washes a few times now and she has been 100% water-tight to this point.   I feel very confident in the repair, we'll see how it holds up.
