2009 Prices

[neto1978]

With the average 15% used SUV prices devaluation because of the gas prices ,do you believe the new prices will have any devaluation too?

tks

No, manufacturers will just move production capacity towards smaller vehicles. Those of us using/needing or just really wanting a "truck" or "SUV" will pay what it costs to build w/ a reasonable profit, or they will stop building them. Costs, and therefore prices, will increase as the cost to build vehicles increases (fuel, materials, labor, etc), including large trucks, etc.

I'll agree that production will shift toward the smaller vehicles that get better mileage but I wouldn't count out some hefty rebates to sell the trucks.

I believe there will be rebates too...let's wait ,by the way ,when are the dealers supposed to start ordering???

You will likely see very similar prices to 08's, but with slightly better rebates. I believe there will be less tinkering with deals, because the people in the truck/suv market already know what they want, and the dealers know that.

Prices are going up,This was in Dealerworld today,And its for '08 so I'm sure it'll continue for '09.

Also this is for GMC,However I'm sure Chevrolet will follow........

Well the price increase blows. But I am not suprised.

 

I cant wait to buy a 2009 Sierra with 6.0 or 6.2 with 6-speed.

 

I will probably have to special order the truck I want unless i find a dealer with an exact match.

 

Do you get hosed on the price when special ordering through the website?

 

Anyone have an idea when the best time to buy?

 

August?

 

September?

 

October?

 

November?

 

December?

Now I'm really glad I picked up mine in '07.

 

 

I'm sure the price increase won't be much though. GM is hurting for business as it is already.

[cambo]

GM is hurting for business as it is already.

Every car automotive company is hurting. We have about 30-45 large SUV's and Turds at my dealership and they aren't moving. We haven't showed a Tundra in 3 weeks, haven't sold one in 4.

Turd?

 

 

 

Oh, on an unrelated note - Rich - How was your weekend in NC? It was a pretty good race eh! I wish they did the inversion though...

[MS3DALE]

Turd?

 

 

 

Oh, on an unrelated note - Rich - How was your weekend in NC? It was a pretty good race eh! I wish they did the inversion though...

 

It was great.

Yeah,I wish they would invert too....I think though that the drivers sandbagged too much when they did that.

I'll be back down in October,I might even head down for the NHRA event in September!

Haha awesome! It's been years since I've been to a Nascar race. Last time I was at a race, Rusty was still driving the black Miller car.

I wish Jr. would just purchase the rights and drive the #3.

IMO with as weak as the dollar is, I don't think that the price of trucks will go down in "dollars" maybe in value, but the same number of dollars will be leaving your bank account as before. This is pure speculation on my part.
