Price paid?

KARNUT · November 25, 2014

First time poster....

For the last 14 years I have been driving a 2000 Trans Am. I just turned 100K miles on it a few weeks ago. The paint, body is in great shape. It does need a new catalytic converter, the center console cover is rotten and the sun visor has came off.

The dash looks brand new, and the transmission and such are fine.

Well, I don't like spending money on cars but I 'needed' a new truck. I could live without the truck but it would make life easier if I had one. I have been looking for a long time, but yesterday it the first time I actually drove one, had all the paper work filled out and such and even had a price negotiated before I got on the lot. I talked them down 25% off MSRP, which I would have been pretty happy with. It would have been 34K and some change for a red SLE Z71 / 4WD..... My wife loved it too!

Well, after all of that the dealer would only give me 3K for my Trans Am. I wanted 6k, so I had to walk, which I did. I will have to sell it myself or something. If I can sell it within the next few days, I will go back and get it.

When I test drove it, it didn't shake.

Keep the car, the trucks a good deal they will do it without a down payment. I have never given a down payment. If you have good credit.

was at the dealer today, the crew i was interested sold, they had a white dbl cab AT 46 and change down to 34 and change

brad more details on the T/A

The Trans Am is stock, black / black. Traction control, everything else is standard. If I recall, most Trans Ams were loaded... power doors, windows, driver side power seat, leather, cd player.

No WS6 / no ram air...

They called me back a little while ago... I wish they hadn't. They offered me $1100 more on the TA..... Oh so close. They always make things difficult!!

edit:

Price for the truck with trade now would be.. 30667 GA taxes would be $2070.

How come you can't lease a 2014 any more? From what I was told, you can only lease a 2015 now?

Thoughts on $31668 on a 2015 SLE crew cab short bed? Even though it's a 2015 it seems to qualify for Black Friday discounts. Msrp 44,175

That seems like a good deal to me..

The dealer I am working with came up to $4500, so I am good.

So for my 2000 Trans Am I am getting $4500.. I am paying 34767 for the truck + Georgia Taxes which is 2K. MSRP on the truck is $45,975. It is a Red SLE 4WD.

Many would be excited right now, but I am feeling sick even though I think I got a good deal.

I've been on the phone with 6 dealerships about factory ordering my 2015 Silverado LTZ 6.2 NHT. It's like pulling hairs, no one wants to order it for me or even give me a price, they just want me to get one of the several 14's on their lot. It's quite frustrating. I found one dealership that has verbally said $1000 under invoice plus all incentives at the time of purchase, but I'm still waiting on them to give me that it writing. This ordering is a pain in the ass, it should be so much simplier.

IMO, it's always been like that. It's like an ordered vehicle doesn't count as a sale or something, whereas a sale off the lot is one they took from a competitor.

They took and submitted mine order for 6.2/8sp/NHT.

When I questioned the Jan TPW, I learned i could drop the nht or change the 6.2 to 5.3 or wait for the Jan tpw. I decided to drop the NHT and build date moved ahead by 2 months.

It's at the dealer now.

They would probably prefer to have the sale now, rather than in Feb.

First time poster here, I'm looking at a remaining 14' slt 4wd in Texas. The vehicle is stickering for around 48,5k. I do not have any of the GM card Or supplier discount options. Current incentives seem to only be a few grand on slt trim from what I can see.

What do you think a fair price would be on this vehicle? Having a time getting dealer invoice info.

I'm trying to wrap up the deal by weeks end if possible, so any breakdown that anyone can provide is really appreciated.

I would think $38k range would be decent. I bought mine last month, MSRP was $53k and I got it for $43k. I did not have supplier or GM card either. Good luck!!

The Texas packages are killer right now on the SLE GMCs. Try Wiesner in Conroe, they have a bunch.

I bought the same truck minus 4wd which was only a difference of 1500 bucks and got it for 41k. Sticker was 47k. What I would do to get the price lower to start off is look at their online prices because usually they are 1500 lower than what they quote you and then work them down from there.
