No sir Bruce

me and Robbie both had to travel across several states to get that deal.

Total savings for me

Dealers around here adding 5k to msrp 92k would have been 97k.

I paid 83k, 14k savings for me well worth it for me.

 

 

 

No, not calling you a liar, I just DO find that hard to believe! That's a helleva deal, not sure how they're able to do that unless they had an over-stock and needed to move some trucks?? Yeah, the added price to sticker went away here about 1-1/2 yr's ago. I'm sure that dealer does far more volume than my local dealership, so they probably get a bigger margin between msrp & the bottom line. Congrat's on the deal, you did well!

No worries,  yes sir Hella of a deal..

We actually ordered ours as they couldn't keep them in stock took about 3.5 months to come in gave everyone on here a heads-up about the place and Robbie got one ordered also.

Colorado has been MSRP for a while.  But no way I'm doing that.  I ran numbers at 5 different dealers, and finally got the one closest to my house to sell it to me at "invoice", which amounts to about 5k off on my AT4X gasser.  Scheduled for production next week, I placed my refundable deposit just under a month ago.  Not the best deal in the world, but working local will gain me some tax savings.  I spoke to someone at Rivard, but they would not take a custom order.  They did offer to send me a list of all trucks in their pipeline to choose from.  Even after shipping it to Colorado, it still would have worked out a little better, but I am OK with the deal I got.

 

Generally speaking, I think by the end of the year, all of these HDs are back to the normal 8-12k off MSRP.  Unless it is RAM, which of course are already available at 12-15k off.

You're the second person that has said Rivard wouldn't work with you, do you remember the sales person? Last I check they were doing custom orders but the internet guy is a clown and doesn't want to work with people at all.

It was a manager.  I started with an internet chat, gave my email, and then a manger contacted me.  They did not say they would not work with me.  On the contrary, they were very friendly.  They only said they would not order me a custom unit.  I like the mechanicals things most people skip - dual alternators and batteries, block heater, high idle.  None of their ordered for stock units had those things.

Yeah same thing I originally ran into with the internet manager...  but dang 5k off is still way better than most deals for sure out here.

Thanks.  I am in a decent position of owning my 2020 1/2 ton and not "needing" the 2500 by a specific date.  We estimated the trade value a month ago and agreed.  No doubt it will go down as I await the new truck, but if they lowball at the time of the deal, I'll walk.  Optimistic that won't happen though 👍

The only reason I agreed to close to msrp(1k off) back in 22 was because the trade values were out of this world. The trade I had was a Kia minivan not exactly known for amazing resale and it was an easy 10k over what it should have been so in my opinion it didn’t matter if that money came off the msrp or the trade was artificially high. Would have been the same as about 11k off msrp. 
 

trades really started to tank after that. I know because one of the places I shopped for trades in caravana and even to this day they email me monthly trade values for that van. It was a 2020 and it was at 36k in 22. We paid 35 lol. It’s now at 20k!! In the last email I received.

GM is moving quick now.  My order went in 2/8, immediately allocated, and delivered to dealer 4/2.  Less than 2 months, pretty amazing (AT4X 2500).

Found out today that mine has finished production and is on it's way to CA. I ordered on 1/17/24. It may have been finished before today.

 

I then called up my SnugTop dealer to order my shell. Lead time on it is 6 to 12 weeks...almost as much as the truck itself. Price of the shell went up 20% since I got a quote in January.

    • On the subject of OLM, Gm's OLM tool may be more "informed" than others brands. I recall OLM's in mid-2000's Chrysler products literally counting down a set number of miles. That's all the OLM appeared to be.    I would actually expect GM to be able to explain the parameters that their OLM takes into account from a high level. No, I would not expect them to disclose their software coding or data analysis around their parameters.   So we're talking about two different topics, so to continue the subject on the other one, I'd be curious to know how much "standard particulate matter" in fresh oil is able to be filtered at first start by a fresh oil filter. How much particulate matter is enough to "matter"?   I.e. how much of a "lever" do we think this equates to (variability in particulate content, in fresh oils, between different makes/brands, some which filter less, and some that filter more).   We can say that more particles = more wear = shorter engine life as a logical statement and use that data with a little marketing to scare people into selecting a more refined/filtered oil. Using a similie, is this like deciding to forego two alcoholic drinks in a lifetime because we're worried about the potential impact on lifespan? Are there numbers which translate the ISO test results into a quantifiable increase in wear for a given engine/use case?
    • I'm pretty sure it doesn't actually recalibrate the speedometer it just changes the wheel speed sensor inputs to the computer. The truck still thinks it has stock tires.
    • I apologize, I missed this post, at risk of going off CURRENT TOPIC.   I'm not saying it is BS, I'm questioning how much information is being held back. GM is NOT going to spell out exactly every parameter in the algorithm. Liability, intellectual property, etc.    I'm not naive enough to believe that it is as simple as revolutions, coolant temperature, miles, time; are you?    I don't do irrational either, and boiling the OLM down to four simple values that I could code in an afternoon (I'm not a coder) is irrational - unless it suits your agenda to ignore it. 
    • Chris 21 I appreciate your constructive response. !!  😉😉😉   The 6.6 is gas.  Correct me if I’m wrong but by recalibrating the speedo you’re correcting the shift points of the transmission on these trucks.?.
    • That is a huge misconception.     Bigger does not always equal safer.  Modifying does not make it safer either, with exceptions.   Think of this.  Your truck in stock form is capable of emergency maneuvers, proper stopping distances, its handling is designed around the factory wheel/tire packages, etc.   37s and a lift?  Now you've affected your braking distances, handling and ride control.  You've raised your center of gravity higher.  Your front visibility is now obstructed more than stock, same for your rear.  Does it look cooler?  Yes.  Does it now work as good as it did from factory on road?  NO.       As for my mention of exceptions?  Say you had a sedan or crossover.  They typically come with all season tires.  If you swap out for a performance all season or a summer tire, you improve your car by lowering its stopping distance (better braking because of traction) and improve the handling (regular and emergency) of the vehicle.  That is an actually improving modification.  My old 2019 LD 1500, I ran UHP all season tires on 20in wheels in a factory offered size.  It improved all aspects of how it drove over the Duratracs it came with from the factory in the stock 18" tire.
