All and all, I was satisfied. I could have played the poker game and left to try to get a few hundred more off, but in the end, it would not have impacted the monthly price that much.

Had the front two windows tinted to 20% today at lunch....SMOKE'N !!

To the best of my knowledge that is factory invoice...(what the dealer pays)

BUT

Don't feel sorry for the dealer. He still makes 3% of the LIST back form GM in what is called HOLD BACK. I believe it is issued to dealers either 2 or 4 times a year. My personal feeling is if you can buy at invoice you have made a good deal. DEALERS, or STEALERS as some people call them still have to make a profit so that they will be around to support service to you truck.

Where you have to be careful is with DEALER ADD ONS. Those are HIGH MARK UP PROFIT CENTERS for the dealer. Now factory steps (rails) are put on by the dealer but priced by GM so thats not what i'm refering to. examples: spare tire cover, window vents, special paint (most anything that DOES NOT carry a GM ITEM ORDER CODE)

This info is available at a few web sites:

www.nada.com

and a few others...just read them carefully to gleam the knowledge.
