rebates and dealer costs

THE BIGPUNN · July 16, 2003

im looking at an 03 gmc crew cab sb 8.1. what i want to know is, with all these rebates($5,000.00), is it worth haggling down further?

How are you getting $5000 in rebates? I see $3500 from GM, is the dealer giving a rebate? is it just $5000 total off MSRP??

BIG.....If your SERIOUS and gonna buy a new GM.

I have a " GM in your driveway " program coupon.

This will allow you to get GM employee price plus

4% deal ! You will also pay NO DOC fees. or adv.

charges.

Plus deduct rebates, GM card bonus points, etc.

If you know where the truck is on the lot. E-mail me the

vin# , dealer name and zip and I can tell ya the deal price

I am in the process of making a deal on 2003 dmax ally. If you do not take the 0% financing you get back $4,500; $3,000 rebate and $1,500 diesel cash. Mine is $750 over dealer invoice.

Good Luck!

If there is 3000 rebate, plus 1500 for Duramax/Allison, you should be at least $4500 BELOW invoice...if not, get the coupon from geo (above) and get a better deal.

Factory rebates should be no factor in negotiating a price. You negotiate based upon the sticker price to what you would under any other circumstances. The factory pays the rebates - not the dealer.

I just bought the exact truck your describing. I paid $7000 below sticker. You should be able to get the same deal.

Why are you selling the 2001? It was just supercharged a few months ago.

I just bought a 2003 chevy express 3500 cargo van today.$100.00 over dealer invoice 0.0% financing for 60 months.I didnt give them any money down,no trade either.Most of the time,haggling over the price and taking the free credit is better than the rebate money.Got to love free credit.

mmayo, right now my local gmc dealer is listing $5000 manufacurer rebate on the d-max if you dont take the 0% finance, i dont know about the 8.1 yet.

sonjaab, i am stopping by my local dealer today. i have not been able to find the 8.1 anywhere yet that i want. as soon as i do i will get you the vin number.

the problem i have is my trade. i have a 99 z-71 that i owe $21,000 on still and i dont know what they'll be able to do for me. i bought a camper that is pushing the trucks limits, so if i cant get one this year it'll have to be next year.

i'll keep you guys posted.

CD....If PUNN can't make his deal. I will slip ya that

coupon !

I have ordered 2 more from GM. Should have them

in 5 working days GM sez. I have given away 5 so far !

They must be selling some iron with them ! At 1st

you could only get 2 coupons.

Now they will send ya 2 more at a time !

Heck just the savings on the DOC fees and $500 plus

adv. fees makes it a real deal.

NOTE: Rebates are different in some parts of the US.

SONJAAB (or anyone else),

What are these "GM in your driveway" coupons? How does it work?

Also what kind of deal do GM employees get (trying to figure out what 4% over GM employee price means).

Thanks

I bought an 03 duramax a couple months ago using a GMS discount. It came out to be about $500 under invoice and I got the 0% financing.

Keep chipping away at them

They will move more. I got a 2003 GMC 1500HD SLT (Stickered for $39659) drove it off the lot for $29500. This was after storming out 2 times during the signing of the final paper work. Also, had them find me the financing. Told them that I have a Credit Union that would do a 4.2% loan and they found me the same rate and they did the paper work, and they did a Linex bed liner. They are hurting like everyone else it. Find the Invoice of the truck, tell them that you will give a $100 over invoice and then the rebates come in. Mine was $3000 + 1000(Program partner thing)+ GM Card points.

$7000 to $9500 is doable.
