Hey all - just bought a vehicle and am back home now and looking through the paper work more closely I'm second guessing a couple numbers on the Vehicle Sale sheet. 

 

So,  I have a "Vehicle Invoice" for the car I bought and it lists EMPLOY: 37195.10.   

Does this mean when working a deal with a dealer,  the "Purchase of Vehicle (including Freight and Accessories)" line item should read 37195.10? (I do have gm Employee discount).  Looking at my purchase paper,  it says 38553.40.  Is that increase a destination charge which isn't reflected on the Vehicle Invoice?   For what it's worth,  SUPPLR is 38682.60, which doesn't tie to the 38553.40 either. 

 

I gotta call the sales guy tomorrow to find out.   I'm kind of having a bad taste right now with my buying experience,  we (sales guy or finance guy,  whoevers responsibility it is/ should be)  did not really go through this at a line item level.  I also blame myself for not thinking to do this at the time of purchase.  I mean,  I seen the numbers but did not realize at the time the 38k should maybe have been 37k.

 

Mostly everything was done over the phone as we didn't deal locally - was a pain to find the vehicle we wanted. 

 

Edit: per window sticker destination is 1195.  Sticker price 41k.

Lol well this was unexpected 😅. 

 

When comparing the window sticker to the sale price,  it "seems" correct I guess,  essentially 10% off.  Not exactly sure how GM Employee pricing works and if it's a set % or not.

I'd phone the finance person at the dealership, confirm that s/he has the time or arrange a time, and walk through the document line by line.   The process will enlighten you and the financial officer.

$10 says he walks out of the finance office with an upgraded warranty package, gap insurance, and an upgraded roadside assistance program that also offers motel and rental car coverage. Shaving that $1,000 off the invoice only cost an extra $4,000.

 

Those finance people are trained to SELL SELL SELL. If you buy this, then we can accommodate you on that, which overall is a fantastic way to save money and get better coverage. The only reason we are able to offer you this great discount, is because you are a new customer, and we just happen to have this one last form leftover from a promotional. This isn't even supposed to happen, but because of what is technically a clerical error, you have a great opportunity to take advantage of the additional savings.

37195.10 is what you should have paid before taxes, dealer fee's  and any added accessories not included on the invoice.  As long as you did not sign something that included a fee of some kind?   I believe GM will audit the sale so if there was an error they should catch it.  I had a similar experience albeit over 12 yrs ago. The dealer misapplied a GM business discount I had and did not credit me the proper amount and GM auditing the sale called me and informed me I would be getting a $500 refund from the dealer due to their error.  I got a check a week or so later.  Be a few years and can't recall the exact details of how the miscalculated the discount.

I stopped in there today because our Blazer had a coolant leak... ugh! Not even 150 miles hardly. 

 

Any way,  spoke with General sales manager and he got the salesman on the phone as well,  the extra is due to splash guard install ( about 250) and the remainder is a fee the dealer is charging due to supply shortage or something.  I did recall in that moment discussing this with the sales guy a week or so ago over the phone.   Slipped my mind. 

 

All is good...

      2015 Sierra Denali L86 cyl 5 misfire at idle

      By Gkistler · Posted

      Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions?

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.
