This is good news for those out there shopping for a new truck (.. in Canada). The Incentives... or the Cash Delivery Allowance... do make me think again about a new truck.... I was wondering how quick GM Canada would respond to our recently rising dollar...

 

STILL ... I am too cheap to go and buy a new truck when my current one (.. as old as it is) runs great and suits my needs just fine.

Hmmm.....so they just bumped the cash allowance up $500 bucks to $8500-$9500 depending on which dealer you go to - not much from what they had before ($8000-$9000) IMHO.

 

Did they eliminate the GM Truck Bucks ($1000) - I was told a few weeks ago that it was to stop in June?

The salesman I phoned did say there was still the extra $1000 off. The used are moving pretty good here too, so I may go in tommorow and see what kind of deal i can make. And to me, $500 is $500.

I am glad I purchased mine when I did, I saved Large compared to the actual factory window price!

I also heard under the new CAW/UAW agreement there is no longer the GM employee discount? That would have meant an extra $5-$6000 dollars on my price, probably enough to stop me from purchasing it?

The CAW/UAW agreement won't take affect until after the GM gets out of court so the GM supplier and employee discounts should still be ok for now. Once it starts, it will be interesting if GM's employees will still buy knowing that their discount is wiped out.

The dealer I went and talked to today had an 07 CC 4x4 4wd with 24000 km's on it and is asking 29k. An 09 equipped the same window stickers at 43k. After taking the 10k incentives off, that s a 4k difference and you gain 2 years of warranty and 24000 km's. And thats before dealing on a better price.

 

If i can trade my truck which had a sticker price of 36k and has 35000 km's on it and a year and a half of warranty used up for 10k or under, I'd say thats a pretty good deal.

I couldn't imagine trading in vehicles so fast... I guess i just form too much of a bond with my trucks.

 

those are some nice incentives, if i wasn't in debt up to my eye balls (thank you university) I would definitely be considering a new silverado rcsb.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By No1UKnow · Posted

      Hello All!   My 2019 Colorado 3.6 LT, 4WD Crew Cab has approximately 77,500 miles and I recently began experiencing the well-known transmission shudder between about 30 and 65 mph. The problem had worsened to the point that I could no longer attribute it to road conditions - and I had decided to bring the truck to the dealer - when recently, I experienced a sudden loss of power while driving at maybe 40 MPH. Several warning lights flashed, the “Check Stabilitrack” message appeared, and the Check Engine, Stabilitrack, and Traction Control icons remained illuminated. The truck regained driving power, but it stayed in a low gear with unusually high RPMs for the speed. (limp mode?) Because I was only about two miles from home, driving slowly, I was able to make it back and run an OBD-II scan, which showed fault codes U0101, P0700, and U0100. My next trip in the truck was to drive it to the dealer the following day. That trip began normally, but after about a mile I experienced another loss of power, along with the same warning lights and the same “Check Stabilitrack” message. As before the truck remained driveable, but again operated at an abnormally high RPM-to-speed ratio and seemed stuck in a single gear. About a mile later, the dashboard lit up once more, this time displaying “Check 4WD.” Soon after that, I arrived at the dealer. I have verified that the truck still has its original factory transmission fluid, which means it has never received the corrective fluid exchange outlined in GM Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355.  That was Thursday of last week and I've heard nothing yet from the dealer.    According to Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355 and the build date of my truck, my truck should have the newer LV fluid. I've done a little research and read something about a problem with the wiring harness as well.   Anyone have an insights into this situation?  Thank you!!

      Gas Prices

      By PhilB · Posted

      Did you even read this article?   Even the title of the article says "U.S.-Iran Deal Doesn’t Mean a Swift Return of Oil and Gas Flows"   Remember, crude oil prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the oil companies.  Gas prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the station.  This article stated that many of the oil producing nations have to restart their processes to get the oil produced.  Then the oil has to be shipped to wherever.  And it doesn't get there overnight.  And most of that oil is not coming here. Check out this site:  https://afdc.energy.gov/data/10621   A graph will pop up to show where the US imports their oil from.  Notice that there isn't a lot of import from OPEC and Iraq.  Most of the US import comes from Canada. The US oil produces are selling their oil on the open market, which is why the US fuel costs went up.  So you're correct, the US oil companies are going to slow walk the price downward.
