April incentives???

Whipped500 · March 28, 2020

What does everyone think will happen with incentives in April? Do you think they will go up or will they just keep pushing the 0% and do nothing with incentives?

My truck is in and had planned on waiting until next week (April) thinking with everything that is going on, they would go up? Last year they were $500 more in April than March...but I'm also scared of making the wrong decision.

Thanks

I would stay patient. Ain’t no one buying cars right now unless you absolutely need it. They have to start whoring cars out at some point. Even if that means you don’t get the truck you ordered. My only concern is shortage of trucks now that president has put GM on notice for being shameful and not helping like ford has started doing. I don’t want to turn this into politics but I read the Indiana plant will be busy with ventilations? Again I could be wrong so don’t quote me sir.

I’m thinking you’re right. I can’t imagine the deals get any worse. My truck is supposed to be in roughly end of next week so I’m in the same boat as you.

I don't know what incentives are needed? In Michigan, this is a big Chevy, GMC, Buick, RAM

They can't sell vehicles

I think incentives may go up, but dealer inventory will go down. With the factory not producing any more, and incentives climbing, is that vehicle you want going to be there long?

I ordered it at the end of January. They have a deposit from me but the only thing I signed was the printout of what options were ordered. Not a formal contract, they literally drew a line and said sign and verbally told me that I was signing off on the correct options. Also, the truck has been there for a week and a half and I can't find it advertised anywhere...as in on their website or Chevy's website for search inventory. I literally just told them I'm holding off until April.

I fully plan on buying it because I told them to order it and this is what I want (I'm a man of my word), but I really don't care if they sell it because I'm out of work right now being in the bar and restaurant business and don't know how many of my customers will come back after this?

Most of the GM trucks around me are $10-12k off. If they continue to offer the rebates and include 0% financing I plan to take a look at a 20 trail boss

Usually it's rebates or 0%, not both...but that could happen. I think Ford is doing $5000 and 0% right now.

I just bought a new truck last week. It was 6500 in rebates OR the zero percent then an additional 1k dealer incentive. In total is was around 13k off MSRP I believe.

Wished I would have waited. Bought a leftover 19 in January. Now could get a 20 for almost as much with a way cheaper payment.

Here at my dealer, they are doing $12,500 off MSRP or $5,000 off and 0%. Picked mine up last week.

Do we just find out first thing tomorrow what the incentives are? Does anyone know exactly how that works?

I'm curious as well, usually the dealer sites take a few days to reflect the new incentives.

Hoopster3 · March 31, 2020

From what I've heard even dealers don't find out until the morning of the 1st.

Got my 2020 Trail Boss LT on March 21st. $6k off and 0% for 84 months.
Someone asked about Ford, I just checked their site. They are not offering 0% on the 2020's. They are on some of the 2019's.

As for waiting, the incentives 'may' get better but the pickins' are getting pretty slim.

One last thing, in Illinois (no jokes please), car dealers are considered 'essential services' and are still open.
