$5k markup on handful of trucks around me. Does that apply to GM Family discount?

I've been looking at getting a new truck but selection is obviously pretty bad.  I stopped at GMC dealership yesterday they had 3 nice Sierra's on the lot.  Each of them had $5k dealer markup sticker in the window.  

 

Question - does this $5k apply still if I have GM Family discount?  My dad is a retiree.  I can find the vehicle and select it using the GM family website and it DOESN'T show this extra $5k but wanted to ask around on here before I go in to the dealership and get into a sticky situation.  Thanks

Dealerships are not required to sell a vehicle at the GM Employee price, so yes the ADM could be something you pay if the dealer is not willing to sell the vehicle at the GM-Employee price.

Screw any dealer marking vehicles up! They're just trying to rip you off and that's just the beginning of your ownership. Imagine how shitty they will be when it comes to service/warranty work! Go find another dealer with inventory or with an open allocation and order one. I don't think you can order the 22 Limiteds anymore. They're finishing up whatever they have on the books and switching to the refresh trucks.

Ran into the same issue last week. My work gets a supplier discount and I couldn't find a dealer that would let me use it. 2 dealers close to me are doing the BS Markup as well. So I kept looking online and drove to a dealer about 2 hours away that had 2 trucks I liked listed below sticker.

Crazy, these trucks wouldn't sell 5 years ago until you put 10 or as much as 16k on the hoods, anyone buying right now regardless of what deal you got are getting ripped off imo.

 

Not much a person can do if they need a truck right now. Used pricing is almost near what the new price of the vehicle was and new vehicles are short on the lot so the ball is in the dealer hands on both sides, gonna stay that way for the next year or 2 unless the pandemic ends and things go back to "normal".

 

I bought my 2016 Sierra CC 4x4 SLT All Terrain 6.2/A8 in March of 2016, at the time with my discount and the rebates a $56k truck ended up being $44k. Truck now has 46k miles on it and is in amazing condition, I went to see what it is worth and I can sell it private party for $40k right now, if a dealer tries to sell it the price is $44k to $47k on a dealer lot.

So heck yeah, I am jumping on that deal. Gonna sell the truck in February or March and order a BMW SUV for the wife at MSRP and take the money and run. I tried to look at a 2022 All Terrain Carbon edition, $66k price tag and the dealer wants a $5k ADM! After this move to BMW for us we will only have my 19 Corvette Z06 left in our garage as a GM vehicle, the others are a 18 Audi S5, a 19 Audi S4 and then the new 2022 BMW X3 M40i.
