That sounds like a good deal to me.
Thanks,
Marc Sparks
It looks like the going sticker for an '07 (non-xl) Denali is around 55K. If you use an employee discount, don't you lose your braganing power?
That is, the price is pre-set by GM. Please educate me before going to the dealer. I'll be using an emp. discount with NO trade-in.
Thanks for your help!
I am happy sticking with GM. My Denali with 185,000 miles is still doing well and hopefully I can sell it quickly. My 1991 S10 is a rustbucket but still our work truck... it has 360,000 miles on it and just won't quit running.
I contacted my local dealer first via the Costco buying, which goes for $500 over invoice. However, they agreed to sell to me at invoice if I took something on their lot or even ordered. However, I wanted the blue-green crystal paint and, as of May 1, GM isn't painting any more blues or reds, because they are replacing those colors when the 2008s come out.
At first they couldn't locate what I wanted within 500 mi, but finally did when I agreed to be flexible on interior color. I agreed to take this car at $500 over invoice. They had to go pick it up and supposedly the other dealer wouldn't trade with them; they claim they had to pay invoice and the other guy got the dealer holdback.
Anyway, still a reasonable deal. The rebate went up to $2500 May 1, I had $2900 in GM Card earnings, plus a $1500 GM personal coupon, so the purchase price was $46,000 plus tax for a loaded Denali XL with an MSRP of $56,000 (all but the 20" wheels, they are beautiful but decided there were other things I'd rather do with the money).
I could have probably pushed someone else for a couple hundred less... but this is my local dealer who will pick my car up for service. I also test drove a LOT there, including an overnight with an XL that I put 100 miles on. I certainly would be a jerk if I went somewhere else for a few bucks.
Moral of the story:
Yes, you can get these at invoice (maybe better with this weeks surge in gas prices!)
If you want blue-green crystal or red, buy soon. In 2008, the sticker price will be higher and the rebates may be gone for a while. (new slate blue coming though, might be neat).
If you have a GM Card, fill out your online profile including "GM Preferences". I think this is how I got the $1500 coupon.
I declined the extra $1800 that extends the bumper-to-bumper to 100,000 mi for 2 reasons
1) companies are making money on extended warranties. The odds are in your favor of not buying them
2) Car problems seem to either come when they vehicle is new or after high mileage. I'll put 100,000 on in about 3 yrs, so I hope I won't see many problems in that time.
Wondering about this decision, though. It doesn't take much to get $1800 in repairs these days. :confuse:
IT'S BEAUTIFUL; I LOVE IT. WE TOOK A ROAD TRIP FOR DINNER LAST NIGHT JUST TO CHECK IT OUT AND LET THE KIDS WATCH THE DVD. Took me a few min to figure out how to get the nav lady voice to quit nagging my husband to turn. Now he has 2 women back-seat driving him! :P
Sharp Black exterior/Tan interior. I think the Denali is the best-looking suv on the market today. Happy so far except passenger side window squeaks when it goes up/down. Will take that in for them to adjust.
Very happy with the purchase. Took the cash rebate instead of the GM financing deal because I plan to pay off the loan amount early. Dealership beat the rate I was pre-approved for from the bank (suggest you get pre-approved and let the dealership know your rate; that way they can try to beat it for you. They want that financing!)
Did all price negotiation via email. Contacted several lenders in the area and asked for their best price on the exact model & options I wanted. Then let them know the other dealership's prices they were competing against. Best hassle-free way to negotiate a car that I've found.
Could I have gotten a better deal? Interested in your responses. I think this was about the best I could do within 200+ miles of my area.
purchase price of $47160. GM supplier price which should come out to about 200 below invoice. They told me that the cash back incentive or 2k does not apply to leases. Aslo the $1000 Marketing support only applies to old cars brought to the lot before 1/10/2007 or something.
no money out 39 months 15k a year. $778 a month including tax for NJ.
Good Deal?
Thanks, Ron
Did you end up getting an 07 Denali?....I was looking at Showcase GMC on E Camelback Rd Phoenix last week and saw 07 full load for $47,900.
MSRP: $54,620.00
Invoice: $50,827.00
Sell
Price: $49,827.00 ($1000 below invoice)
Took the 0% for 5 years, nothing down = $902/mo.
Had I taken the rebate and bonus cash totaling $4750 and financed through a secondary lender, payments would have been about $75 higher.
Looks like the regional ad fee (at least in socal) is up between 1.5% - 1.75% of the total MSRP now (minus destination). Still got a smokin' deal though!
Just thought I'd share.
I just got home with my 2008 Yukon Denali XL. I couldn't be happier with the terms. The dealership did it through GMAC.
MSRP: $52,075
Invoice: $48,695
Sell Price: $48,530
I used my $1,500 from the GM Mastercard rebate and left a drive off of $2,500. The end result is a monthly payment of $671 for 39 months at 12,000 miles/year. I am pleased with this deal as many of the dealerships I visited in the Los Angeles area told me I was looking at paying a minimum of $800/month for 39 months on a lease.
Good luck!
As for options, there are too many to list so I'll state what I didn't get - no sunroof, no 20" chrome wheels, and no nav. I probably would have gone with a model with Nav if the system were GPS based. But, the system is DVD based. I didn't feel it was worth it.
Denali XL
Black exterior
Ebony interior
MSRP 59,010
Sun, Ent, Dest package
20" Chrome wheels
Heated steering wheel
Price before tax, title, reg 51,988
Above includes 3,000 GM rebates, but before GM card cash.
Financed it with a 63 month loan at 5.9%
Looks great! Rides great!
i am also still waiting patiently for GM to increase the earnings redemption limits on SUVs to spark sales.....$1500 on yukon/suburban is not enough....
did ytou finance through GMAC?? what term and rate?
thx
Didn't finance through GMAC.
i cant wait til sept....
08 Yukon Denali XL
MSRP $59010
Got it for $51989
No rebates used but went with the 72 months 0% financing.
Im going tomorrow to look at a 08 yukon denali xl, gold/tan, and pretty darn loaded.
MSRP is 59,010.00. With bonus cash and yada yada yada the price right now is a firm 43,388.00.
Is that a good deal?
Ive been through so many (rude!) dealers who wont even negotiate a penny more off whats listed in the window. Ive had replies like 'no way' and 'good luck'.
Dont dealers bargain anymore at all or is this straight up that what we see in the window is what we should pay?
Thank you. Any advice right now would be so greatly appreciated.
I tried to negotiate with local dealers, doing just what you said, and they were so rude I couldnt believe it. One guy said 'no way' and wouldnt even take my name and number. Another one said 'good luck and if you find one for that price let me know and Ill go buy a hundred of them'.
No one is negotiating at all. They say the price on the tag is the bottom line. Im actually driving to another state tomorrow to check out this rig.
I figured with the economy crisis and the end of the year approaching that someone might be willing to dicker a little, but no one is budging.
As for waiting, the tranny in my current rig is ready to go and from everything Ive read about the bailout it will probably come in the form of a 3k credit. If thats offered by the government I dont see GMC continuing the 6k discount thats running now.
So Im thinking, but wanted opinions, on whether 43 is a good price or not.
Thank you!
I financed with my own credit union at 4.75%.
Hopefully I did my homework right. Does this sound like a good deal to you?
So far Im loving the rig!
Thanks again.
40k...Is that the cost of the truck and then you tack on your trade in?
