Dissatisfied with GMC Long going ordeal

Its not only Arkansas that does it. You're right, it is wrong to pay taxes on the rebate...makes no sense except to the government.

Rebates in theory is money that is assigned to the customer and the customer can pay full price with a rebate check coming in the mail from GM after the fact. The reality is that rebates 99% if the time are credited back to the dealer and the dealer lowers the price out the door. Many states see rebates as customer money that GM gave you and not a reduction of the selling price for tax purposes.

I ended up trading and getting $1000 accessory rebate to make up for the price hike. I got $24,500 trade in on my 08 with 46k miles on it. They put it on their lot at $28,900 so I can't say that I am happy but not as mad as I was right away. I think I was more tired of waiting and not being able to get one for another 3-4 months that made me cave. No issues with the truck so far thank god and mileage is around 17 on my first tank so I'm happy with that anyway. I guess time will tell how I feel in the long run , but I do NOT plan on trading here again in the future.
