most dealers will not negotiate if you are using a GMID. They will however, give you all other incentives on the vehicle with the GMID.

Yeah, I figured most wouldn't but is there a reason why they wouldn't? Are they restricted by GM maybe? They way I read it, they would basically make the same money but have a happier customer. I know that a happier customer is not a concern of far too many dealers but just wondering.

I went to my HUMMER dealership the day the very first H3 was on the lot. I bought mine right off the showroom floor so I never even tried to get a discount because there was a very large waiting list for people to buy one. I just considered myself lucky to get mine when I did so I didn't mind paying full price. I knew if I even tried they would say.............."If you don't want this one at the sticker price then we know others that will take it". I love my HUMMER it was worth every penny.

I love my HUMMER it was worth every penny.

Were you on the waiting list or just go in when one arrived? Just curious because I put down my depost on March 18th and there were already about 20 people ahead of me.

I'm also in NJ and I couldn't find a local dealer who would honor my GMID certificate (this was back in June/July when I bought my H3). I ended up buying mine from a dealership in Ohio. If you don't have any luck finding a dealer in NJ who'll honor the certificate, PM me and I'll hook you up with my salesperson in Ohio. They even drove the car to me for free! </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Thank You.. I'm printing this post and will let you know.. I wish the new H3's (2007) were out now.. I'll have to wait till March or April to get the Buzz...

OK> Since I just used my uncles GMID (GM IN The Driveway) discount at 23% off, MAKE SURE you talk them down FIRST!!! Then tell them you get a discount!! GM will give you an authorization number for the dealer to use. BUT TALK THEM DOWN FIRST> Mine was 39,000. And I paid 29,000. for it. Gotta love negotiating.

Awesome guys!

I bought a GM last year for my wife but knew nothing about the GMID until after I bought the H3. Still love the hell out of it but coulda saved some money.

It is a waste of your time to negotiate the price before you tell them that you are getting GMID price. The price is set by GM and printed directly on the invoice. I can tell you that there is definitely something wrong with the above story of gettign a 39k H3 for 29k. Even GMS price which is the cheapest way to get them is not going to be that much. GMS price on a 38k unit is about 33,300 and GMID is about 34,800 if one was sold for 29k then it was a demo or company special event vehicle not straight new vehicle purchase.

Price is the same whether you order it or you buy it off the lot.

SO ..I priced mine out several different ways and I think the highest MSRP was 41 K and Change .So I guess I'm looking at around 36-37K?

You are right.
GMID price, on a Hummer, is about 2% over invoice, minus any rebates, plus $75 dealer fee ( documentation, etc. ) maximum, plus tax and tags.
No way is it close to $10K off msrp/sticker on an H3.

James Hummer in Flemington,NJ accept the GMID certificate.Bought mine there in October, no problems at all.Drove one off the lot in two hours.Great sales staff,very helpful.Hope this helps anyone.

Move to the Ft. Worth Texas area. MSRP roughly $39,000. We paid $33,920 with the luxury package, off road suspesion package, chrome package, chrome roof rails and home link. Bought in Grapvine Texas on Dec. 19th, 2005.

also has the sunroof which my wife could not live with out. LOL

the GM supplier price, which is the same as the GMID, is about 2% BELOW invoice.
