Hey everyone. I'm curious what kind of deals people are finding in the wild on custom builds.

 

Specifically for me anyone know a trustworthy dealer offering any discounts in the northeast or east coast?

Have bought two truck since 2021,  bought a 21 and a 22,  both was MSRP minus GM discount only.  Based off all the dealers I dealt with and hearing from others its MSRP only, there is no deals

The big rebates may never return especially with the High price of Electric vehicles. I think the Higher MRSP is to get  customers adjusted to paying more.

 

That being said I have seen some dealer discounts on 2023 trucks.

 

My dealer knocked off $3K on my 22.

This is exactly right. All these huge jumps in “msrp” will be used to offer “discounts” when times get a bit tough but it’s just a false discount off an inflated msrp. So actually no discounts. 
 

Same thing has already happened in other big ticket industries like furniture. Price’s literally doubled or more on furniture from 2020 til now. I’ll say that again, more than doubled on most furniture. Any discount people think they received is off a pice that has doubled or more than doubled. I.e. you’re getting hosed.

This isnt a fair argument. A "Deal" or "good price" or whatever you want to call it is based related to what others can pay right now not in the past. So if others are paying MSRP and you are paying less then MSRP then by definition you are getting a deal...

 

Just like the house I bought in 2019 was great compared to the houses now in 2022 but if you compare my house to what it went for in 2008, It was not great... Again time period matters...

 

Anyway back on target. Where them dealers giving 3k off msrp Lol I'll take that vs MSRP all day every day. Also for comparison - RAM dealers are giving like ~11% off MSRP at some larger volume dealers.

I agree.  hard to compare now vs 2 years ago.  The deal is only relavent to what you can buy today.  bread was 10 cents  a loaf 50 years go too.  

 

Any dealer giving true anything off MSRP is unicorn right now.

The rig I ordered has a MSRP of $78,000 including all fees. The dealer is giving it to me for $73,000 out the door, not including taxes or any other extras I may opt for, such as extended warranty. That also doesn't include any GM incentives which may be available when I take delivery next month (if shipping is not delayed).

The dealer also offers a free lifetime powertrain warranty which is automatically included, unlimited years and miles.

You can possibly find a deal like this closer to you. I would try checking dealers that are not near major cities. I believe that they will charge more for their order allocations since they have more buyers than allocations available. It's only a theory of mine since I don't know for sure how it works. But all of the dealers I've dealt with recently in major cities wanted to charge over MSRP.

Just build a truck and request price quotes from a lot of dealers and see what comes back.

I didn't do a custom build, but I just bought a Sierra 2500 AT4 from https://www.laurabuickgmc.com/ and honestly, I can't recommend them enough to other buyers. These guys are outstanding.

 

These guys, more specifically our sales man Ross Mandernach, were amazingly easy to work with. Zero pressure, no hidden costs, no gotchas, no crazy up charges that I was getting from other dealers.

 

Laura GMC was the only dealer that had a huge selection of AT4's. Most dealers have 1-2 and others had zero but a couple in transit that they would have loved for me to buy before it arrived. Laura had 29 AT'4 as of just a few days ago and nearly as many Denali's.

 

So, not only being a fantastic process. I also got my AT4 for nearly $6,000 off MSRP.

 

@pr3dict I don't know where you're coming from but if you're up for a drive check these guys out. I just checked this morning on carguru and autotrader and only found 2 dealers that are selling under MSRP, but those were only $3,000 off.

I'll hit them up. Im coming from NY worth the drive to pull off $5000+ msrp.

I notice the dealers around here are suddenly flush with 1500 1/2 ton trucks, local dealer has 17 Silverado's and 9 Sierra's. Most are discounted ranging up to $3800,  except for the 3 GMC Sierra Denali's at msrp, 1 has Super Cruise at msrp $86,640..

Interest rates are up, who wants a 7% rate when a 2% was the norm not long ago. I'm not seeing anything less than 6.5 around here. That's with "here, take our money" credit too.

I know this might sound crazy, but Laura says on their website they offer free airport pickup from the St Louis airport. Based on their Google reviews, several people have taken them up on that offer too.

 

They are certainly a step-up over many other dealers I've dealt with in my long history of buying and trucks and cars.

Used interest rates are certainly high. New isn't great but it's a lot better than used. GM is offering 4.69% on new 2500's up to 60 months.

My credit union is at 4.59% @ 60 months. They were close to 2.00% back in August. It deff hurts... 

 

I called laura's They claimed to be the largest volume dealer in the country and would do 2024 3500 orders @ MSRP - No discount though. I think my local dealer also doesnt charge over MSRP so I'd probably just save the ride and get it here if it came down to it. 

 

I have until Feb 12th for RAM to get their crap together. I have a 3500 limited on order but they screwed up something and my order has been help since 9/11/22 while other trucks are being produced and shipped (and it's pissing me off) anyways. We'll see.

    • I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.       
    • Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.  
    • I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires. 
    • Atlas, you kill me As aggravating as a project like this can be you have been unable to hide your fascination with learning and using that angst against this beast like a Ninjitsu Master. It amuses you, admit it now.      BTW, love your writing style. 😉       
    • I gotta say, I'm enjoying your narration. The troubles you've been having are amusing as you describe them. It's good to see that you're finally getting some satisfaction out the old beast though.
