Amazing. They should make the invoice price the new no haggle MSRP.

Or better yet, eliminate salesmen and order directly from the manufacter; have an order button on the build your own website. Most salesmen know nothing more than what's listed in the vehicle brochure. Use dealership for service work, sell the car at invoice and save the customer aleast $2-300/sale. This would save GM millions in reduced utility, overhead and employee costs.

Here's my thinking

 

GM is a bunch of idiots. They put their prices to employee pricing for several months. They sell a ton. No $hit.

 

Prices get jacked back up, people don't buy. Basically forcing GM to lower the prices back down because people will know gm will HAVE to lower them to get sales again.

Thats called whoring the market up.

 

I still don't get it, when a Toyota crewcab V-8, very few options, 2WD, lists for $3500 MORE than a Silverado, with everthing you can screw on it, why GM is still hurting for sales against Toyota. Unless people just want to pay 10% more and get 4 MPG less?

With less interior room.

Well, it is about time. With employee pricing, they just tought the public that you can take $10k+ off the sticker price before you even haggle.

 

Get the prices down where they belong! The game gets old. Price them right and sell them.

I guess this knocks the value down on all of our vehicle's, so much for being ahead on my payments and book value.

Good. Maybe now I'll actually be able to afford a new GM truck when mine quits.

[Mark2500HD01]

Anyone who doesnt pay invoice price or even less need to man up to their sales person.

Well, I'm going to weight in here. IMO, the Work Truck just became the buy of the Century. Let me explain. I have an '06 GMC WT Sierra Long Bed, V6, 5 Speed.

 

So that's the Truck I'll use to try to get my point across

 

 

Old MSRP New MSRP Difference

 

WT - $19,265 $16,990 $2,275

 

SL - $22,885 $21,275 $1,610

 

WT to SL $ 3,620 $ 4,285 $ 665

 

 

Now, From my calculations, the best I can come up with as far as trunk content is that the SL has maybe $1,800 worth of equipment either available or not available on the WT. Those that aren't available can be added by the aftermarket. My truck is wearing polished aluminum wheels from an SLT, courtesy of "E" Bay for $300. IMO, the WT is priced extremely well, and the SL seems to be a little overpriced.

 

Also this round of price changes brought the WT Long Bed/Regular Bed price difference to where it should have been. Before there was only a $100 to go to the longer bed (the SL and up carried a $300 price difference) Now that difference is $275, about where it ought to be.

 

Sorry to have been so long winded, but I hope I made my point.

If I'm going to spend 20k or more for a truck it ought to be complete, not some assembly required.

[Mighty HD]

Toyota is far superior to GM or Ford because of reliability and high quality. Bottom line.

 

I however don't like the styling/interior of the Tundra's. You can tell a small jappie designed it, the GM/Ford products were designed by fat rednecks--hence jacked up & big interiors!

If you mean "some assembly required", I mean personalization, making it your own, unlike the truck next door. Seems lot's of guys on this forum like this approach. My truck has the afore mentioned wheels, plush carpeting on the floor, Custom carpeted floor mats, GMC Logos on the side above the crease on the doors, I had the exhaust tip from my Infiniti G35 welded on my exhaust pipe, I have electric door locks with remote keyless entry, leather wrapped steering wheel, tinted windows, bedliner, and bed caps. In addition, the truck came with the upgraded seats from the SL/SLE and cruise control. Adding this extra stuff makes my WT unique, and my own, and did not cost an arm and a leg. Oh, my truck did not cost $20K, it was $14.3K. The extras less than $1K.

You know, I have thought of buying a plain jane, work truck and saying the hell with it. If invoice is $16k, you should be able to walk out the door for $14k. That is not bad at all!! I dare you to buy any onther vehicle for that kind of money and have what you have when you buy a GM truck!
