Sorry for the post above, I'm new. 

 

I built a 2022 Elevation in the GM built&price website, and went to a Dealer here in California. It will take 3 to 4 months from February 2022. Be careful with the charges. I built a 2021 Elevation, with Duramax diesel, double cab, RWD, Quick Silver metallic with driver alert package, spray in bed liner and floor mats for $49.600. But niw you cannot order the 2021 model anymore, the 2022 is coming. 

 

At the beginning they told me they would add $7500 as mark up price on top of the MRSP price.....ouch!!!!!!! They said that this is what they are charging for the new model on top of the MRSP. ... I told them now way I was paying that!!! and I was about to walk away.... that they came back with  $2500 mark up prices and $3800 for addendum options.....WTH this guys are not serious they were changing their mind without a straight path. $49,600 MSRP  +  2,500 mark up  +   $3,380 addendum items  +  Taxes and associated fees - rebates & financial incentives.

 

Addendum items means they can add options on top of the options I chose to put in the built configuration. How in the world they could add $3380 in additional options that I don't want!!!!!! I told them no way and walked away.

 

I think I'll wait until the truck start coming in to the dealership, sometime in May - July 2022 and see the prices then. I'm sure they will be lower than ordering a truck now that it won't be delivered until June 2022.  I want the Duramax because of the mileage, I have a 5,3 ecotec and the mileage is getting heavy on my wallet as I have to drive more lately.

I don't think you will see available trucks on the lots for a long time.

 

Ordering is almost a requirement at this point unless someone were to get real lucky.

 

As for the mark up, GM does not approve of that and it hurts that dealers credibility with the customers. MSRP on a truck is fair to everyone at this point in time. Find yourself another dealer.

Lucky is how I got my truck. Someone ordered it long ago and got tired of waiting and went a different direction. I have been religiously checking area dealerships and found almost exactly what I wanted. I wasn’t going to order the z71 package but I am fine with having it.

I would suggest shopping around on other dealers. Mark up prices on MSRP are just plain SCAM! and most dealers are just taking advantage of people, not sure how difficult is to find a reputable dealer in California but my experience last year in Texas with mark up prices was similar as yours, but this is what I did, I was trying to find a 2021 Camaro LT1 around my city and every dealer was marking up between 3000~5000 on top of MSRP. I just refused to pay a single dollar on top of MSRP. Paying MSRP is already crazy! I ended up finding a dealer after a few weeks willing to sell me one for MSRP but have to travel over 200 miles from my hometown, I rather spend a extra few hundred on gas and time than paying thousands. Every dealer have some story about "market adjustments" and most are shady about disclosing this, one dealer did not mention the mark up until last minute when I already apply for financing and almost sign for a loan and pay the down payment. As right now I have an order for a refreshed 2022 GMC 1500 Denali and the dealer agree to respect MSRP and any discounts I may qualify at the time of delivery, hope they keep the promise.

 

The issue with buying a overprice new car is they depreciate a lot really quick, and paying more than what is worth is just a financial disaster if you are financing, patience is key, new car smell is exciting but unless you are made of money is not worth the headache.

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      By davester · Posted

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
