Price paid?

bovineplane · January 7, 2017

Coming from an 08 Avy. Wish they still built them so I could have another.

2017 Silverado 1500 LTZ 5.3. MSRP 53295. Paid 42195.

Unfortunately I never was able to secure a truck during the red tag clearance. Would have saved another ~1k or so. Kept finding trucks but would sell before i could get a deposit down or dealer would not take a deposit.

Silver Ice Metallic with black leather interior.

Options:

Texas edition, front buckets, nav radio, trailer brake controller, heated vented seats, ltz plus, led cargo lights, all weather mats, driver alert.

21% off msrp. Out of Dallas if anyone is looking I can put you in contact with the dealer. Look forward to reading through the site.

I'd 20% off MSRP is a good deal ....

but Sales are slowing - see attached

so fighting for more money off is doable (time and aggravation ?) but 20% is still a good deal here in New England metropolis areas (overall)

Arrived at the dealer yesterday. 11 January GM put $1500 additional customer cash on trucks making my price 40,667 and just over 43k out the door with TTL. Was a nice surprise which more than covered my plane ticket and gas to go get it. Nice drive back to the house yesterday.

anyone would recommend a dealer near arizona or texas that offers at least 20%???

MSRP on my 2015 SLT sierra was $52,000 and I got it for $10K off that before trade in and down payment.

Damn, after reading all of these posts I feel like I should have went new

Never heard of Laura....but I would have definitely went out here if I had. Just looking at their advertised prices is crazy.

I just bought a Certified Pre Owned 2015 Sierra Crew Cab Z71 4X4 SLT w/ Nav/Sunroof/Bose, etc... It has 12K miles on it and I got the CPO warranty.

I paid $39,700

I probably could have done a lot better ha?

Don't dwell on that. Just enjoy your new truck, you bought it because you thought it was a good deal and that is all that matters.

Yeah I'm not....just didn't think there were deals like that to be had out there.....everywhere here within a 200 mile radius or so wanted 45K for most 16/17 models with what I wanted and that was before TTL.

I do this every time I buy a new vehicle lol

Cosmic Charlie · January 26, 2017

12,000 miles is still like new, with the full warranty - be glad it's not a lemon ...

I'd say no big deal what you paid - these trucks are nice and yours is one of the nicest !

Thanks for the support lol.

All that matters is I am happy with it, and it is at a payment I wanted w/ the money down I put.

This thread could certainly benefit from some standardization in how prices are reported. Here is my deal from Laura's (I made 3.5 hour drive from Indianapolis):

MSRP: 55695

Sale price of vehicle: $46,363

Less Rebates: $6,000 ($1,000 was trade-assist which you won't get if not trading in a vehicle). Also had $1500 GM card earnings plus another $1500 in bonus earnings offer that come off bottom line as rebates.

Total: 40,363 (27.5% off MSRP). I am not including my $2500 trade-in value in this.

True OTD including 6.25% IL sales tax, excluding $2500 trade-in, and excluding $1000 trade-assist rebate was $44,439. Not bad to be OTD for <$45K on a 2017 Sierra w/ SLT and the SLT Premium Plus Package.

Invoice price on this truck is $51,982. That means Laura's vehicle sale price was a whopping $5,440 UNDER invoice BEFORE rebates. If that doesn't show what a joke invoice pricing is these days I don't know what does.

I normally use a purchasing method from a website called Fighting Chance when I purchase cars (fightingchance.com). It has some similarities to the Fat Wallet method mentioned in a link at the very beginning of this thread. I do highly recommend purchasing the fighting chance package at least once, and once you have this you won't need to purchase again for subsequent vehicles unless you want detailed list of RPO codes w/ invoice pricing by code. But, essentially what you do is conduct a reverse auction over 2-3 day period to smoke out the dealer that needs to move a vehicle the most. It is time intensive and involves phoning 10-15 dealers and speaking with sales manager to help convey you are serious buyer before sending proposal emails, with the goal to get 6-10 participating dealers. I usually take a day off of work to get it done at the end. But, you never have to step foot in a dealership until you close the deal.

The method is successful, I had other bids 2.5 hours away that were $2800 under invoice and $900 under invoice before rebates. None of the 5 dealers I sent requests to in Indianapolis would move much off of the current "Supplier Pricing for Everyone" promotion currently in effect (makes me wonder if there is a cartel in operation). So, it pays to be willing to drive 2-4 hours to buy a truck. My last purchase in 2012 was a Cadillac SRX for my wife, and the best bid was $1700 UNDER invoice before rebates. I also had to drive 2.5 hours for that one. This method is all about buying on best price and treating a new car like a commodity. Must take all emotion and having local service out of your buying equation.

That being said, nobody would touch the Laura price (and as has been stated, Laura won't budge). So, if you're short on time, just go with the Laura price. It pays to watch their pricing because I noticed they kicked in another $1,000 of their own in the 2nd half of January compared to pricing in early January. Also, set expectations appropriately that you could be in dealership for 3-5 hours even though you had everything worked out ahead of time. They are so busy here they really didn't have time to respond to my proposal request email - I had to hassle them just to get email response documenting sale price vs. actual OTD price. It is also nearly impossible to get a sales rep on the phone. The building isn't that big, it's like herding cats inside, and each sales rep is concurrently working 2-4 customers when you are there. The multiple football fields of trucks sitting out back are impressive.

Everything went smoothly until I hit the finance dept. They asked me if I would finance there if they could match my pre-approved rate at 1.9% for 60 months from my credit union. I said sure since I was behind schedule leaving Indy that day and it would save me an hour. But when I got to signing the paperwork it was 1.99%. Less than $2 per month impact on my payment, but over life of loan they took ~$100 out of my pocket and then the finance manager accused me of telling him 1.99 (which is BS and I have email proof otherwise, which they even have documented in their CRM system). That really irked me, especially since they did nothing to make amends. At the end of the day, they don't care because with such high volume they just move onto the next deal. I can get them back with a poor CSI score, but I am leaving the door open for them to make it right.

Absolutely Agree -

The dealer invoice means nothing - I hate to tell people that bought and think differently ... I usually don't

The large dealers in some metro areas have a illegal collective monopoly keeping prices high between them, but places like Laura exposes the reality ...

Also small dealers don't not get the volume discounts of the Big dealers ...

That's right. I love seeing people's reactions when they think they are very smart and wise and that the dealer will do anything to sell them a vehicle if they play their cards right, only to have the dealer say no to their offer and brush em off.
