I know the current offer of $500 on the 08's is due to expire on the 4th of September, does anyone working at a dealer have any info about new incentives or rebates that'll be coming?

No news as of yet, but unless your looking for a specific 08 color, why not pull the trigger on an 07 with the huge rebates / or 0%?

My father and me usually go for the lastest model year available, its worth more at the current moment, and they usually make you feel better that you have the newer one.

 

Whos they? and why would you worry about what other people think? 07 is the first year for this body style and I'm sure it will stick around for a good 4-5 years. Other then a new color or 2, there is zero change for 08. If your not concerned with saving money, then by all means, buy an 08.

NO.........THEY meaning the thing you purchased, the almost 40 grand my father purchased on a impulse buy wasnt so bad considering that its a reliable vehicle now and it was fresh of the truck, when we got it.

One other reason is that you are essentially buying a one year old vehicle. This does matter when it comes to time to sell or trade. Me? I bought my 04 in August of 04 when the 05's were coming out. I will be keeping mine long past the time that trade-in values matter.

Plus right now you also get $1,000.00 towards accessories. It works out a a really sweet deal.

 

 

Do you have this in writing somewhere. Before buying mine I made sure that I looked for all applicable incentives before I bought, but never remember seeing this offer anywhere. Maybe it was a local dealership add in?

I bought my 2007 Silverado on Aug. 18 from Harbor Chevrolet in Long Beach, CA. THe internet sales guy I worked with told me it was a national promotion that started 1 or 2 days previous to the date I purchased the truck. I think it's part of the Chevy Model Year End Event promotion. I didn't know about the accessories promotion and the only hitch was I had to decide right then which accessories I wanted. I took step rails, mud flaps and bed rug.

Why not buy an 07 and tell "Them" it's a 2008! :cool:

Isn't the first model year of any vehicle usually the ones that they use to work out all the bugs and quirks?.........would the 08's be improved any?.......I know the GMT900 have only been out for a bit and the only thing I have heard more than once is a problem with an oil/tranny fluid leak.....coming from the back of the motors.

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
