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.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.

      Do you have access to BP fuels? Some stations have Silver 91 E-0 priced the same as their 93 E-10.  There is a local Marathon with 90 alky free for $6 a gallon but I go down the road to BP for $5-ish. They also have a 100 E-0 but that stuff is $10 a pop.
