Google found you incorrect information. HummerNewbie is correct. In fact, GMID cannot be used by a GM employee or any of their relatives that are eligible for the GMS (actual GM discount).
If your friend is a salaried position, they probably know how to access the GM website to obtain the certificate. If they are union, and do not access the GM internal website that often, all they have to do is go to "My Socrates," sign in, then go to Services, then to GM Family First, then click on GMID, enter their password for GMID. Once in to the GMID site, they enter your date of birth and last four of your ssn. The system issues a GMD number, which you take to the dealer.
The dealer compares this number with information they can obtain via their GM connection. You then get a price of approx. 2% above invoice.
Believe me, I know the process, and would offer you one myself; however, I have already given out my two authorization numbers for this month, and promised out for next month.

I'm going to make some calls and find out why a GM dealership would refuse a GMID number. I don't see how that can refuse a direct discount from the manufacturer.

Don't Flame Me.. This question has probably come up before. Since I haven't been on this great forum for long..(About 2 months) I haven't seen it.

Here's the Question...
I'm from South New Jersey..(Joisey).The Dealers here are not what you call dealers when it comes to price. They only sell the H3 at MSRP... Aaah..So Sorry...No Hummer H3 For You..!!!! Come Back 1 Year....!!!

Now I think this is pretty much a standard thing. In fact I haven't heard of dealers anywhere offering a discount on an H3. Now I'm ready to by but waiting till march to see what the 2007 H3's are gonna offer over the 2006's.


Her's the the real Question to you H3 Mayvens...
Did you get a discount off of MSRP ...... Did you get a deal??? Or did you get the Soup Nazzi Price.. FULL LIST..!!

Now come on ... Be honest.. And if you did get a discount ..tell me where to go to get that $5.00 Saving..

[f5fstop]

GMID number is good for six months from date of issue.

Awesome guys! </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Excellent..!!Thanks I just printed your post for reference.. That's a Great deal..!!..

Was it on the lot or did you order it in..and will that make a difference?? Is it easier for the dealer to order in then it is to sell you off the lot??

Inother words..which way wil get you the better deal..?? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

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.

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.

What you need to do is find someone on this iste that can offer you a GM in the driveway coupon. On a fully loaded rig you get about $3800 off sticker. Than all you have to do is find a dealer to honor that coupon/ certificate.

most dealers out here honor the GM discount.

There is an advertising charge on each rig. And the dealer really does pay it. Best bet is get a employee from GM to give yo a GMID, Supplier, or GMS discount cert. Save some serious cash with less fight.

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?

[bhpilot]

Damn, I,m glad I live in the south. I bought my H3 in TX Nov 15th, fully decked out with a sticker price of $37,840 and I paid $34,588 out the door. I would order from TX and have it trucked to your house for $500.00 My dealer has almost 400 on the lot, so maybe that the reason. Good Luck

Al Serra in Grand Blanc Mi sells well below MSRP .
