    Chevrolet's Body Shop?

    Thanks guys. My deduct is 250, my insurance is covering it - whoever hit me did not leave a note. I'm no expert, but I would estimate that it's going to be over $1,000 to fix. There's a dent in the front bumper the size of a basketball, and the headlight cover will need replaced.

    Chevrolet's Body Shop?

    Someone backed into my truck over the weekend and I figured that the dealership would be the best option for repair being that I don't know any good body shops in the area. Anyone have experience with this? For what it's worth, I believe they actually do the work there, rather than contracting...

    Garage door buttons (Homelink/Lear)

    Did all of that. It's also having issues programming to the gate at the community entrance. In my old vehicle all I had to do was open the garage with the normal garage door opener while holding down the button in the vehicle, and it automatically programmed. Not sure why any manufacturer...

    Garage door buttons (Homelink/Lear)

    Did anyone else have issues programming theirs? I followed the instructions and had no luck. It seems rather laborious compared to previous vehicles I've owned. My GS 330 was simple to program.

    Console Vault

    Well, that's sort of grasping at straws, no? If, in order to justify the purchase of the safe, you have to assume that your stolen firearm is used to rob me, I think you're really reaching at that point. I think the combination lock would be more convenient. This is the first thing that...

    valet key

    Well, just to update this, I haven't been able to find a Locksmith anywhere that will do this. I'm going to go with a lock box that attaches to the underside of the seat with a steel cable. Most of the models are only about $30. Kind of puzzled - a valet key is standard on some vehicles that...

    Console Vault

    Fair enough, although it still doesn't make mathematical sense to spend nearly $300 to secure a $150 iPod in the event that your car is broken into, something that has a low statistical likelihood of occurring. Even if you were storing a $600 handgun in the truck, it still doesn't make sense...

    valet key

    I thought I would bump this. It's been exceedingly difficult to come up with a solution to this. I posted in another thread that I was going to have this done, thinking that such a simple procedure would be easily done, little did I know that it was going to be quite a challenge. I've called...

    Console Vault

    I looked into one of these, but honestly, I can't justify the cost. When you break it down, mathematically speaking, it's just a poor investment - unless you're keeping a very expensive watch (or something similar) locked in your console. I'd be buying it to protect $550 worth of valuables...

    My new Tahoe's first brush with GM Service - not good

    Sometimes it won't start. When I turn the key, nothing happens, almost like the battery is dead, except the NAV and everything else comes on. I have to turn the key several times to get it to start. This has happened 5 times. As an added note: I did talk to the service managers at 2 of...

    My new Tahoe's first brush with GM Service - not good

    As some of you might remember, I was debating on purchasing a new 2011 Tahoe being that GM was overing 0% financing. Long story short, I got a great deal on the truck, as well as my trade in. 2 weeks later I was having issues with something and decided I would schedule a service...

    Cooled Seats in LTZ

    I have cooled seats as well, but have only used them once (I just bought the car). I would imagine the trousers you're wearing would have a large impact on the amount of cool air you're going to feel. Perforated gym shorts will probably allow more air to reach your skin. Thick Jeans or cargo...

    How much is your car payment?

    They are both paying 0% interest. They probably didn't put any money down. The only real incentive to put money down is to reduce the initial principal in an attempt to pay less interest over the life of the loan. When you're financing at 0%, you'd be better off to take the money you would...

    Purchase incentivized new 2011, or wait for redesign?

    I'm always amazed when dealers ask if you want to negotiate price or payment. I was also a bit confused as to why this dealer asked me that after he heard me say that I'm a financial analyst. It was apparent that this guy wasn't serious about cutting the BS and making a sale, evidenced by the...

    Purchase incentivized new 2011, or wait for redesign?

    Good discussion... As far as gas - I work about 3 miles from home now, so that shouldn't be much of a concern. I would not be open to a Yukon. I like the styling of the Tahoe much more. As far as crossovers, I really like the Mercedes ML350. The interior is far superior to that of...

    Purchase incentivized new 2011, or wait for redesign?

    Ah, thanks for the info. As far as the redesign, I would much rather get a 2011, or in the future, a 2012 at 0% than have the new design, unless they did some wonderful things with the new model. In my opinion, the interior could use a lot of work, especially for a 55 thousand dollar...

    Purchase incentivized new 2011, or wait for redesign?

    Yep...I didn't end up with the truck but I am the proud owner of a new G17 :) He had claimed to show me a sheet that had their invoice price on it, but I took that with a grain of salt being that it was higher than I expected, and my high school buddy also quoted a lower invoice price - lower...

    Purchase incentivized new 2011, or wait for redesign?

    The truck was actually at another lot 150 miles away. There aren't any 2011's that I could find, brand new, that were close. The dealer I visited would be acquiring the truck from another lot. Anyway, I came home and contacted a buddy of mine from high school on Facebook who actually...

    Purchase incentivized new 2011, or wait for redesign?

    This works both ways, though. In the end it's all the same unless you're bad with numbers. Anyway, I ended up walking. They weren't even close after making me several offers. They were barely willing to come down more than a few thousand.

    Purchase incentivized new 2011, or wait for redesign?

    Let's hope so, Burb. Thanks again for the input. I will keep you guys posted.

    Purchase incentivized new 2011, or wait for redesign?

    Good to know, Edgar. I figured that they are already offering the 0% as an incentive, so I wasn't sure if they would still come down such a substantial amount from the sticker. I plan on talking to the dealer today, so I will keep you guys posted. I believe that 0% financing offers are...

    Purchase incentivized new 2011, or wait for redesign?

    Thanks for the responses, guys. As far as price, mid 40's seems a bit unrealistic given that this is a brand new vehicle (with every available option), no? Don't get me wrong, I'd take it at that price, but I'm not sure sure they'd be willing to come down 10k.

    Purchase incentivized new 2011, or wait for redesign?

    As many of you know, Chevy is offering 0% financing for 72 months on new 2011 Tahoes, most of which are loaded LTZs. There's one locally, in the color I'd prefer, for 56k sticker. I am assuming they are going to come down significantly, being that they are trying to liquidate inventory, but...
