So Cal Dealership Recommendations

[Skrote]

I am in the market for a new 2500HD, CC, SLT, Duramax. I have contacted four local dealerships and all of them are adding about $1K to the "published" invoice amount for advertising costs from the manufacturer (GMC). The local Ford dealerships don't do this. This appears to be a "garbage fee" and I would prefer not paying it.

 

Does anyone know of a fleet dept at a dealership in Southern California that doesn't charge this fee? I would like to pay the true invoice plus $500. This is what I've been offered by Ford, but I would rather not get another Superduty. Been there, done that. If push comes to shove, I'll pay the $1K...I think the trucks are worth it.

I got my truck for $500 over invoice at Courtesy Chevrolet, Thousand Oaks, CA. Where in So Cal are you? I can hook you up with my sales man.

That was a quick response! Thank you.

 

Perhaps Chevy dealers don't add the $1K fee and it's just a GMC Truck thing?

 

Anyway, I am in south Orange County, so that might be a tad too far to travel. Thanks again for the quick response.

Call Jay at Selman Chevrolet in Orange. He's a regular on the Hotboat.net forums and seems to take care of his customers. I don't have his number, but the dealership in in the yellow pages.

Talk to Warner Faulks at Camino Real Chevrolet (it's near LA). He'll sell you a truck for the price you're looking for.

 

If you talk to him, tell him that Greg (who bought a Tahoe from him) gave you his name (Greg's my brother-in-law).

 

I've talked to him a couple of times and he was always ready to give me a great, near invoice, price. I just haven't been ready to pull the trigger on a new 'Burban yet.
