So, I Think Tomorrow Is Deal-time !

[98 Z71 SLT]

Hello guys ! It's looking like tomorrow might be the time to pick up a 2008 Sierra. Here's the deal on one...see what you guys think...

 

2008 GMC Sierra Extended Cab, 4x4, BLACK

SLE-1 Trim Level

Power Pack Package

--5.3, limites slip rear axle,h.d. trailering equipment,17 inch alloy wheels

E-Z Lift Locking Tailgate

Preferred Package

--Remote Start,Power Adj. Pedals,Rear Park Assist

 

As you can see, not a Z71 truck, not a SLE-2 truck.

 

To me, it has the "right" number of options. I could always add a console if needed, and I look forward to doing a steering wheel control add on!

 

I've owned black / dark blue colors before...they keep me busy !!

 

OK...now here's prices

 

MSRP 32,710

GM EMPLOYEE PRICE (my price) 29,073

NATL REBATE -2000

GM LOYALTY -1000

So, we are at 26,073

 

THEN, there is holdback money. I'm sure I can knock off another 1000 dollars if I try really hard. That would bring it to 25,073.

 

THEN, I have my trade. 2006 SLE2 Sierra Ext Cab Z71, with only 6400 miles on it.

It looks like I could move up 2 years, and drop 6400 miles for maybe $2500 to $3000.

 

Opinions ???

$26,073 looks fair to me, but let them rape you on your trade.

edit: i meant DON'T let them rape you on your trade.

Let the good times roll.

[Bostonsfavson]

So you think you can get around 22K from them for the truck you have now?

[98 Z71 SLT]

Definitely yes...

 

I can easily get in the $22k to $23k area...or I just walk away from the whole thing.

 

We are hurting so bad for sales right now...they'd be fools not to jump on it...

[Guest Riggs]

oh yea, my mom just traded her 05 suberban with 32000 miles for about 20,000

[Bostonsfavson]

Well then I say go for it!

If its a GM employee deal (GMS) you should know the deal and expect

dead flat wholesale for your trade !

Holdback? The dealer won't give you a dime of it !

 

On a GM employee deal the dealer is paid a flat fee from GM for

carrying and selling the vehicle to you. You are already paying less

than invoice minus rebates of course.

Yes there is currently a $1000 addl. GM loyalty bonus (if you currently

own a GM). Also there is a $500 or $1000 bonus if you have a GM

family first card.............geo

He's right, I just did this EXACT deal, except I got the 0% for an 07, and had to sell my 04, they offered me 6K less than what I sold it for...

What's a GM family first card?

"Also there is a $500 or $1000 bonus if you have a GM

family first card.............geo"

 

What's a GM family first card?

 

That is the GM credit card that earns 1% on all purchases. Your earnings can be used toward a qualified new GM vehicle in addition to Employee and Supplier pricing.

[BlownL67]

In case some didn't know, there is a $500 military rebate program too!

[sonjaab]

Yes there is a military discount, contractor upfitter discount and several

others.....................

 

BUT !!!!!!!!!!!! Some of these "other" rebates are NOT "stackable" and

cannot be combined with certain other rebates on a GMS deal............................

 

The GM family first card is just another GM mastercard for GM employees/

retirees/family members. A GM employee/family member cannot use the

regular 5% GM card points on a GMS deal. They are forced to get and use

the GM familyfirst card and only get a measly 1% to use on a new GMS

vehicle purchase.............geo

UPDATE...

 

Deal never happened. In fact, the dealership doesn't even know I was even CONSIDERING a deal...

 

After a shower last night, I sit down to relax. Then...it pops in my head. BANG.

 

After a few 4-letterd words came out of my mouth, I realized the truck I listed on here now has a stupid lift kit and a bunch of other garbage added on. Also, with a $10k markup on price. DANG.

Sure is funny how that kinda stuff just "pops" in the head, right??

 

As far as a previous post concerning trade value, GMS, etc...

 

Here's my last truck purchase from my employer

 

I moved into an 06 loaded SLE2 Z71 Ext Cab Sierra 1500, and I traded in my 01 Silverado 1500 Ext Cab 4x4 with 106k miles on it. Trade value was $10,500 all day long. Owner of store gave me $12,500 for it. And he gave me the new 06 with every rebate he could throw at it, MINUS holdback. I have all the paperwork to prove it.

 

Plus, it took me 9 weeks of haggling to do the deal. Well worth it.

Dealers who sell below cost do not stay in business long. I worked in a Dealership 3 times and Iv'e never seen it done.
