2025 Order Pricing

[StephenPT]

So I've had 2 dealerships claim that they are unable to provide a quote until they submit the build to GM and the order is invoiced. They didn't require me putting down a deposit. Does that make sense?

What's to stop me from saying, "Yeah, I'd like to order a fleet of 200 of the exact same build and never taking delivery?"

The GM order process is not great or consistent from dealer to dealer. In early ‘22 I put in an order for a Yukon XL at Robideaux Motors in Idaho along with a $1K deposit. On my build sheet the sales lady wrote down “lock in this price” and circled the price at the time of ordering.

Long story short I waited almost 9 months and it still wasn’t getting built so I started looking at incoming inventory and found what I was looking for at another dealer.

I got my deposit back and then a few months roll by and I start getting emails from GMC that my Yukon is getting built, then another email it was delivered to the dealership. Robideaux never cancelled the order and ended up selling it to someone else - but the order still had my contact info attached to it.

A dealer that isn’t taking a deposit from you likely isn’t going to lock in the price. I don’t believe GM has a “process” for deposits, locking in the price, etc. so it’s going to vary based on the dealerships practices.

Hey all, I purchased my 2025 Tahoe Z71 for 4.5k under MSRP at Classic Chevrolet in Dallas. I ended up finding what I wanted on their lot before my order came in elsewhere. We’re loving it so far.

I ordered and took delivery of a 2025 Yukon Denali with Denali Reserve package on 1/29/2025.
Since it was an order, it was MSRP with only a $500 military discount (no deposit needed when I ordered)

I ordered from the same dealership I ordered a 2024 GMC 2500 AT4 last year ($1,500 despot was required)

This place is a racket. Advertise off of MSRP and then hit you with thousands of incremental fees. Tried to put an order in with them and my $80k MSRP went up to $92k with all the fees and they wouldn't budge...looking for alternatives.

You referenced your build sheet. Was this the actual order with all options / RPO’s and the order number?

It sounds as though your dealer did not have any allocations and you were misled then?

When you paid your deposit - did you sign a sales contract which specified the vehicle, options and price?

would it be better to find a 24 tahoe at a dealership or an auction?
