Ok I have contacted a few dealers (one local and one up north from where I am originally from) about a 2009 Silverado. I gave them the specs (I know there are not alot of trucks out there with the 6.2) and I basically get ignored. I guess they must not be hurting that bad. This is the response I received (after my intitial contact 1 week prior) yesterday

 

Don't give up on us. We have some unfolding incentives that we need to verify before pricing out a vehicle for you.

Thanks for your patience

 

WTH is this?

 

It is kind of frustrating, I guess I know why I ordered my 00 silverado and 08 tahoe.

Weird. When I bought my truck, they were more than willing to locate a truck that fit what I wanted. I believe they looked within a 150 mile radius. Maybe things went downhill since 2 years ago :cool:

I have found that the internet "staff" at most dealerships consists of the one guy that actually knows how email works. Not the swiftest bunch of people... car salesmen. There area few really sharp guys but as with anything else, the majority are just lost.

 

Internet quotes are viewed pretty poorly by most dealers. Many figure you are just a typical "shopper" and pay little attention to price requests.

WOW. That changes things. That's just not good service huh? I can understand them not being eager to respond to an anonymous internet price shopper but not a repeat customer. That's just not right.

I noticed this too. I went to about 6 or 7 dealer both GM and Ford. Most didn t seem too interested, although a few did, but not very aggressive with price. Almost seemed like they knew they weren t going to be there much longer . :cool:

My truck came from 175 miles away (dealer located). And I was told they weren t sure the other dealer would cooperate. ????

Have you tried the 'vehicle locator' on the chev or GMC site? You can enter a zip and find trucks that (roughly) meet your req'ts.

 

I've had luck doing that, then contacting the dealer who has the truck of interest to see if he'll play nice, or if not, giving the info to a preferred sales guy and telling him to see if he can get the truck.

 

Doesn't always work, but many dealers are paying interest on trucks that aren't moving. I've heard that they won't ask another dealer for a trade in some cases.

 

When I bought my 2003 2500HD, a dealer 120 miles from me had EXACTLY the truck I wanted. He wouldn't trade it to a local dealer to shorten my drive, but he gave me almost a grand more on my trade. $1000 for 4 hours of driving to/from his place (with one leg of the trip in my brand new truck) was pretty good pay in my book!

It is a PITA it would be nice if you could search by options and not just style (crewcab LTZ)

 

I would only consider a truck with the 6.2 and guess what I have spent a few hrs on the locator unable to find anything, it would be great to search by that it would speed things up considerably.

Ryan...Send me a PM with your zip code,some "must have" options you want,and your color choice (s) and I'll see what I can find.

Since you want the 6.2 I can tell you want a crew-cab LTZ (Since thats the only way you can get the 6.2 for now)

I can't believe the arrogance of some dealerships. I've ran across that before too where the dealerships just don't care.

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      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.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Brendan C · Posted

      New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended?

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By Vu1can · Posted

      So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.
