Are you a current or recent car shopper who bought an EV and then installed solar – or who had solar already, making the decision to go electric easier?
OR
Are you a recent EV buyer (past 3 months) as a result of manufacturer incentives and dealer discounts on these vehicles, including year-end deals? Were you convinced to buy an EV after finding a good end-of-year deal, or due to uncertainty around which EVs will no longer qualify for full/partial EV tax credits in 2024?

Evaluate our deal ASAP - Sierra 1500 SLE

Today we will be buying a truck, a 2003 GMC Sierra 1500 SLE Ext Cab Short Bed 2WD, and I wanted to get some opinions on the deal we've worked out.

The dealer quoted $26968 for the truck on a MSRP of $30057. The truck includes two tone paint, front fog lamps, Vortec 5300 engine, heavy duty trailering equipment, 3.73 axle ratio, and locking rear differential.

I know the Edmunds TMV price, but I was looking for a little more insight first-hand from Chevy/GMC owners and dealers.

Thanks!

    That price is before rebates. We will be taking the $3000 cash incentive, $750 military rebate, and $500 conquest cash (coming from a non-GMC brand) incentive to bring our purchase price down to $22718. We will then finance that amount plus tax and tags through PeopleFirst at a rate of 3.99% for 60 months.

    I strongly advise you to get 4WD because even though it will cost you approx another 2k .. you will get this ALL back when you sell and the 4wd will make your car more desirable - FWIW only.

    I got a brand new '03 Chevy Silverado EXT - LS SB 5300 engine Z71 package/ with power seats/allum. rims/Trailering pack for :

    Sticker: $33000
    I paid $22500 delivered - final price on xmas eve '02.

    sticker 33000
    discount -5000
    rebate -3000
    GM card -2500 (one time exception)

    = $22500

    MBUNA,

    I'm looking at today's price leader (2 at this price - which means it's obtainable); it says : 2003 GMC Sierra 4DR ext CAB for $15,995. This is of course including a $4k factory rebate.

    Am I missing something here? Does the rig come with wheels? seems like a steal compared to your quote.

    ID be willing to bet that there is a lil differance in options between one for 30K and one for 16K.
  • aspesisteveaspesisteve Member Posts: 833
    yea there's a difference in number of bells and wistles between a price leader and the $30k priced truck, but if you take a look at the edmunds list of standard features on a base 1500 it's pretty impressive. Or should I say it's impressive how much mark up there is on the things that pump up the price to $30k?

    BTW; the price leader is the V6, but from some of the posts I see about the V8 - that engine has it's share of problems with vibration.

     Any concerns for the V6?
