New here so don't flame me too bad. I am looking at a couple 07 Crew Cab 4x4, 6.0l trucks in my area (msrp's approx 39k). What kinda money have you folks gotten off the sticker when buying new. I've got an 05 Yukon XL that I got for 10k under sticker (new) and was wondering what they were getting for these rigs. Thanks in advance for any insight you might have.

Pay no more then invoice. Try to aim for GMS.

 

 

As a car wholesaler, I can tell you mini1 is correct. You can use many online sources to get the exact invoice of what you are buying and start negotiating from there, not the sticker. Use the sticker later to brag about how much truck you have. :driving:

 

If you have found your dream truck, feel good about paying invoice, but I guarantee you can get it for up to $2000 less than invoice in many cases if you spend the time and research. I've seen it happen plenty of times.

Well, I finally pulled the trigger after haggling with dealers via email. I was able to locate a black crew cab that fit my needs. I was able to get $6k off the sticker ($37.5k) and also 1.9% financing so I feel pretty good about the deal. It was surprising how many incentives and rebates they attached to the financing deals, even though they claim you can't combine them. If you're looking for a left over 07 get out there and grab one!!

 

This is my first HD truck and I couldn't be happier. I don't need the towing capabilities but I wanted a crew cab (kids) and a 6.5' bed, the CC 1500 bed is just too small. In the end I think the cost would have been about the same between the 1500 and the HD.

 

Anyway thanks for your help!! I think all I need now is a topper and some new rubber, the stock tires are just too small under that truck! :cry:

It makes no different how much you paid under MSRP. That is just a made up number that really does not mean anything (tax purposes only). How much did you pay under GMS? That is the question. I'd bet you left $1000's on the table and didn't even hit invoice.

Gee, thanks for the positive note.......Invoice was 34400, not sure what GMS was on this particular truck. On other trucks in this price range GMS was about 4100 below MSRP, atleast that's what I was quoted. So assuming that the GMS on this truck was around 33.4k. Subtract the rebates/incentives ($2500) = 30.9k. I paid $31.5 and got inexpensive financing.

 

Isn't how much I paid below GMS also just "a made up number"? So if my numbers are right I paid $1900 below GMS. Does that help you any? Maybe "I left" $600 on the table but to say I left 1000's and didn't hit invoice is just plain dumb. Either way I'm happy with the deal and that's all that matters.

 

Have a nice life!!!

And that really is all that matters.. As long as you are happy with the deal, it doesn't matter what deal someone else got.

 

Congrats on the truck. Post pictures when you can!

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By 2017Z · Posted

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By GN2018 · Posted

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.

      AFM Disabler Question

      Melling I believe is/was the OEM on the lifters who explored this problem some years ago. The white paper they generated on the topic indicated two items of note when I read it. 1.) They only fail on the switch. Prevent the switch, prevent the failure. 2.) The majority fail due to deposits messing up the timing of that switch. Anyway that's what I got from it.    Mine have always been active, 195K+ now, and my oil maintenance is surgically clean.    Of course this assumes good parts. That is no heat treat issue or machining flaws. I get comfortable that these issues are in the rearview mirror by about 30K. IMHO naturally.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, the key seems to be with the half tons that if it has the Z71, then it definitely has the two speed. What got me was that the two speed AND the lower geared towing package option could not be chosen together the last few years unless it was mated up to the 6.2. Want the 3.0 duramax and 3.73 tow gears ... nope, can't get the two speed transfer case ( neighbor son realized that after he had bought his used 3.0 half ton .. where the frick is the low range ? ! ).    I am still unsure which truck series, the half ton or the HD truck that the original poster is referring to for sure other than yes his question is in the HD section of this forum but that doesn't guarantee the question got asked in the right section.
