    10 speed transmission, worth waiting for?

    The GMC Dealerships are useless when asking them about the 10 speed. They know 0 information and if they do they certainly are not sharing it. Simply stating "Yea well you might get 1 mpg difference at most but we really dont know any info". I wish GMC would list out the benefits of the 10...

    What are your tips/tricks to negotiating down the dealership?

    They dont have a vehicle with the 22" Machined Aluminum Wheels, ACC, Open Road, 4wd, that is Silver exterior with Black Interior. They have great deals but I dont want to spend $60k+ on a vehicle that doesnt meet my needs/wants. Then its just a waste of money.

    What are your tips/tricks to negotiating down the dealership?

    The emails appear much shorter in the actual message, theyre just spaced out in the forum. But I do understand what youre saying. Short and sweet. I just dont want to play the back and forth. I figure if I give them my number and my logic of how I got there, it gives a lot more weight then...

    What are your tips/tricks to negotiating down the dealership?

    All great info. For every single one who has said "Oh my manager cant go any lower than this" I have replied "You have my contact information". Ill let them chase me. At the end of the day (thanks to this forum) I know that Laura's exists. Yea its further away but I know I will get a hell of a...

    What are your tips/tricks to negotiating down the dealership?

    Closest i've gotten so far is about $3,500 over what I am asking. My emails do contain a lot of data but they prove ive done the research and that I am a serious buyer. Unfortunately most just look at the email and go "Well they're offering about 9k off MSRP and so are we". That doesnt take...

    Exact email I sent multiple dealerships: ______________________________________________________________________________ Below is the pricing I want to pay for the vehicle on your lot. I have also included references from other dealerships to show how I arrived at this number. James Wood GMC...

    What are your tips/tricks to negotiating down the dealership?

    Yup. Exact sentence was "if we agree to pricing I can be at your dealership TODAY to sign the papers". My thoughts are that the incentives aren't that great for denalis right now and it's still early in the month. They have no fire. I've talked with multiple dealers and they all say they...

    What are your tips/tricks to negotiating down the dealership?

    I am negotiating. I have written up an email comparing specific vehicles on their lot to identical vehicles on Laura's lot at that other GMC dealer in Idaho or wherever. For vehicles with different items/packages I equate out the cost difference. It's very well put together and researched...

    What are your tips/tricks to negotiating down the dealership?

    New dealership about 6 hours north of me: Denali 4x4 Power Running Boards ACC Open Road $68,710. This is actually better than laura's current pricing on a similar vehicle by about $1000. Im tempted to pull the trigger but also cautious. From the research ive done, it seems like August is going...

    What are your tips/tricks to negotiating down the dealership?

    As the hunt continues, Laura GMC still comes out on top. Recently spoke with dealership about a hour north. Denali 4x4 ACC Power running boards 22" Six spoke aluminum rims $69,275 + TT&L Laura has a similar vehicle but without the power running boards ($1,745 option) for about $66k. Going...

    What are your tips/tricks to negotiating down the dealership?

    I would and have traveled quite a distance to pick up a better priced vehicle. But for the average person who only travels within a few miles of their home or doesnt think to look outside the state, it sucks that you can be ripped off so heavily.

    What are your tips/tricks to negotiating down the dealership?

    Here is what drives me nuts. Dillon GMC in Boise is offering 4wd Denali with Open road package and ACC for $61,500. Same vehicle at my dealership and they want $71,900. Laura you can get the same vehicle for around $66,500. I know this issue is a much larger problems with dealerships in...

    4x2 v. 4x4

    Ive had a 4x2 vehicle for as long as I can remember without any real issues. Sure there were certain times where I thought "Would be nice if I had the security of 4wd or AWD", but nothing too pressing. This is where I am torn. Personally I feel on a truck of this size and expense, not getting...

    4x2 v. 4x4

    A very good point. Its one of those "Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it" situations. Ill have to revise my search and see if I can find a 4x4 that suite my needs.

    4x2 v. 4x4

    ^good to note. I dont plan on doing a whole lot of towing so the 4x4 interest is more for inclement weather and also for my volunteering with my local FD that brings me to some interesting areas. However I am leaning for the 4x2 due to the increased fuel economy, even if it is only 2-4mpg...

    4x2 v. 4x4

    This may be a dumb question but I would love to know the answer. The 4x4 model has a 2wd, Auto, 4 hi, 4 lo, control knob to the left of the wheel. If you leave that option in 2wd will there be an increase in fuel economy (for a 4x4 model)? Or is there going to be a decrease over the standard...

    UPDATE: 7/6/17 - 6:52pm Received a response from the dealership: "Unfortunately with this particular vehicle, it has that additional $1750 power running board option that we cannot make up on this vehicle.

    What are your tips/tricks to negotiating down the dealership?

    Thanks. Calculated the tax for Texas (6.25%). Sent them back 30k for my trade and 63k OTD (incl all taxes, fees, etc). We will hear what they have to say. Ive got time on my hands so I can play the long game with the negotiating. Thank you for the suggestions.

    Are you saying 60k OTD (tax, tag, license etc) included or the price of the vehicle is 60k + TTL.
