Forum Members, Anyone willing to pass along a GM Discount Code to a long-time GM owner would be greatly appreciated. I am getting ready to pull the trigger on an 08 Sierra Crew Cab 4 x 4 in the next few days and could really use the additional savings. Even though I am new to this forum I have been a long-time GM owner with a few Pontiacs, Chevys, and a Buick a long the way. Reading through this forum has convinced me that the Sierra/Silerado are the best trucks on the market today and am really looking forward to owning one very soon. :crazy: So if anyone has an extra discount and willing to share please pass it my way. Email me at [email protected]

 

Thank you

Just curious, how does this Gm discount code work. When I look to buy my truck next yr, I'd love to even get more off.

 

How does this Discount code work when I go into the dealer?

 

Do I have to show proof of anything or what?

 

I am just curious,

for example the local dealer has a new w/t silverado reg. cab,

 

$19,655 msrp

 

then $1500 rebate, $1500 bonus cash, and $1670 Maxton (dealer) discount, for a total of $14995.

 

How does a Discount code work then? If its like an employee discount code, and its good for like 2,000 does that mean the truck would then be about $12995. I would like details of this.

 

And I am currently driving an 01 Buick Century, having a truck would be a great new addition to my line of GM vehicles in the future.

The gm employee price is called "GMS". It is listed on the invoices of the vehicles. So just ask to see the invoice, and then look under the GMS box for the price. The amount off is different for each vehicle. Manufactuers rebates/bonus cash/Interest rate incentives can be taken in addition to GMS, but the dealer discount is up to the dealer. If you get a code for GMS price, you give it to the dealer, and they verify it.

If you want to know what GMS is, no reason to go to the dealer. Go to gmfamilyfirst .com (remove the space before the .com) go to the top under "vehicle shopping", select "search dealer inventory" (make sure your pop up blocker is turned off), it will open a version of gmbuypower for GMS pricing. From that window in the bottom left look for "search dealer inventory" populate the info and it will give you sticker and GMS.

 

Also they list supplier pricing there on family first web site. Usually you can get supplier pricing from a good dealer WITHOUT a certificate.

 

If you know some one that is eligable for GMS they can give one person GMS pricing before Aug 19th.

 

I just picked up my 08 Sierra SLT with all terrain for 10,000 off of sticker with GMS and rebates.

I'm not having any luck with the GMS pricing. After applying the GMS discount, they dropped the price $1200 from the regular negotated price, but then they offered me $2000 less for my trade. Their explanation was since they're selling the truck at wholesale they can't go in as much on the trade in. But I don't understand why it would cost me $800 to buy the truck with GMS than as a regular walk in. They just said that was the way it was. So no truck for me yet. Very upsetting.

Mteator,

I'd walk! Like All Terrain posts, check out gmfamilyfirst.com and look at other dealers in your area. You can pick out the truck you are interested at the website. Don't mention trade until after you get that price on the truck you want. Good luck!!

I had negotiated the truck price and then the trade before I got the discount code. Once I got the discount code, the new deal was $800 more than the negotiated deal, I just don't understand how that makes sense. I walked and they didn't even try to stop me and haven't called or anything. The price they gave me was the GMS price from gmfamilyfirst.com, it's just the trade in they screwed me on.

 

The only thing I can figure is you can negotate a better deal than you can get with the GMS pricing, and in that case, there's not much use in getting a GMS code.

That sucks!!! :D I guess the dealer figures its taking a bigger risk with the trade-in then selling you a new truck. I don't want to sound like a mooch, but if you decide not to use the GMS discount, would you pass it my way? Fortunately for me I don't have a trade-in to deal with. Thanks and good luck.

From what I understand the code is specific to me, which is REALLY ticking me off because I was all set on buying this truck and if someone else loses out on it I just will feel so bad, but I just can't take that much of a loss on my trade. I was hoping to get another $1000 in the right direction, not $800 in the wrong direction. If you know how to transfer the code, I'll do it. I so want to pull my race car to nats and not drive the damn thing 1300 miles round trip.

Great information. I will use this the next time I want to buy. The only thing is how to convince the dealer I'm not an employee or family member.

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."

      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.
