#1 I assume your not getting the GMS discount
#2 $43,500 OTD means a sales price of about $41,000
They are giving you roughly 8k off MSRP PLUS 1.9 %
Looks like a decent deal. Most people I have spoken with didn't get more then 5k off msrp if they were getting a really low interest rate.
You might counter with 43k otd plus 0 %
I also noticed wind noise on the driver side on the freeway.
I wouldn't add a superchip. Those things can really mess your engine up plus they void the warranty.
MSRP*: $46,565.00
Supplier Price: $42,690.20
Current Offers: -$3,750.00
Net Price: $38,940.20
Price offered to me $37,500.00 (Nov 1-07)
Is this a good deal or can i bring them down to 35k?
your input is much appreciated, i'm in the new england area.
Wrong on both counts.
I thought the October rebates (5k) were extended into Nov.
Offer 34,000 plus tax.
Btw: I didn't notice many differences between the 2007 Tahoe and the 2008 Tahoe.

Dealers are in business to make a profit. They are going to offer you a price that they can mark up to make that profit. The fact that three different dealers all offered the same amount should tell you something......$31K is the going wholesale price in that market for that vehicle with that mileage.
____________________________________________________________________
And just what is your version of an "honest" profit? The car business is and always has been a big game....the buyer wants to buy low and the seller wants to sell high. If you don't like the $31K offer on your used vehicle then go ahead and sell it yourself if you think you can do better. There is no law that says you have to trade it in to the dealer. Every add I have ever seen from any car company advertising 0% financing always says something about qualifications to get that rate. If you have poor credit forget the 0%. So how is that a rip-off? If you do have excellent credit and qualifications and you can't get the 0% rate then take it up with your state's Attorney General's office. Remember, that 0% rate is not being offered by the dealer, it is being offered by GMAC. I am not in the car business. I could care less what kind of a bad deal you think you are getting. If you don't like what the dealer offers, walk out the door. So "pal", that's my "sermon" for tonight.
I had several dealers tell me that they need to tack on a few hundred bucks above invoice so they could make a profit. Through a friend that works for GM corporate I found out that every last dealer that told me that was lying through their teeth. They were getting $3,200 from GM but were telling me they make ZERO if they sell at invoice.
Dealers rely on consumers who are ignorant on how the process works. They know that most people walking through the doors think the MSRP is the real price of the car, while others think invoice price means anything less then invoice cuases the dealer to lose money so obviously they must sell above invoice right?
The bottom line is that with 99.9% of dealers out there, you have to go in already knowing what a fair offer for the vehicle you want is. The dealer sure as heck won't help u get the best deal. After all, why tell consumers about Holdback and other GM dealer incentives when they can just lie to you and double or triple their profits.

I totally agree. Do your homework. All the info you need is available online. Know how much you are willing to pay for what you want. If the dealer or dealers are asking too much in your opinion, WALK OUT THE DOOR. There will always be a dealer who will make the deal you want, assuming there is some profit in it for the them. The key is to shop around. Prices vary due to supply and demand on the model you want and time of year is a factor too. Never buy on emotion. Determine what kind of vehicle you want and the options then start the process. Spending a little time and effort on one of the biggest purchases you will ever make seems sensible to me.
The sales rep either didn't know or was lying. The Tahoe and Yukon are the same vehicle with only a few cosmetic differences. The Yukon suspension is the same as the Tahoe.
As for the LTZ Suspension. I can't remember it was Z71 OR LTZ. I know it was the upgraded suspension and not the typical one. He said its meant for offroading and isn't very comfortable for reg roads.
Probably the Z71, that's for offroading and comes w/skid plates and other off road goodies. We've got the LTZ which comes w/the autoride suspension (airbags on the rear) and it's very comfortable. We've driven to Annapolis and Atlanta frequently and it's a very smooth ride.
I just bought a brand new 2007 LT3 2WD with 2nd row captains. MSRP $43,800
I get the GM employee discount and got the dealer to throw in an additional $3,000 in rebates on top of the advertised 5k.
After my GM employee discount and the 8k in rebates the final sales price
was $31,800
Most buyers wouldn't have gotten that extra 3k off.
After taxes and fees the price was $33,333.00 out the door
I consider this an awesome deal and would be shocked if you could beat it.
I would probably go to kelly blue book for values on used Tahoe's. $28k, is better then what I paid for brand new but only by about $3,800 bucks.
Plus I knew about the Dealer Bonus certificate program that GM has for it's dealers but they don't advertise and many won't even admit exsists (becuase the dealer general manager is pocketing the cash).
Go back and read my posts over the past 6 weeks. I posted in detail the whole process.
My 2007 is an LT3 2WD with 2nd row captains/20" polished wheels. MSRP $43,800
You can get leather on an LT but LT3 has features like heated seats and power/memory seats on passenger side as well as driver.
My car had 14 miles on it. My sales price before tax was $31,800
So if you were buying the same exact vehicle but yours has 23,000 miles on it, how much would you want off the price? Do you think 3,800 addtional off is worth the 23,000 miles already on the car? I'm not sure that I do.
I would pay the extra 3,800 and get one brand new.

For an '07 you should be able to do much better than that.....especially for a "used" vehicle and that is just what you are looking at.
