They don't have to give you a dime off unless it is on the sticker. You'd be better off ordering an 07 exactly as you want it and then they have to give you the discount becasue all the options are on the sticker. Also, the more you spend, the better the discount. We were going to get one stickerd at about 36, but the discount was only around 3.5g's so went just went for one more loaded up on the sticker. We also looked at some stickered lower, but had tons of dealer add-ons, and the prices were silly cause the dealer charged retail for all the add-ons even to GMID customers. Some dealers might give you a discount on the add-ons, but they don't have to. If you can, shop around dealers with the GMID and see what the discount is on a similar priced H3. You might find some dealers do not really offer the "real" GMID discount. I haven't had this problem with GM yet, but it did happen to me with employee pricing on a Ford about 5 years ago. One dealer I went to I found was more than $1200 difference on a car that was only $200 difference in sticker price at a different dealer, no add-ons. The dealer I ended up buying the car from told me that some dealerships just print bogus invoices with bogus plan pricing and pawn it off like it is the factory invoice with the actual factory plan prices, or in my Ford deal, wouldn't show me paperwork, just the computer screen with the numbers and plan pricing, which are easily manipulated in a computer. Good luck!

Same here.. ..1st dealer fudged the GMID price.. 2nd dealer.. beat his price buy $600.00. 1st dealer printed out an Invoice from "GM Dealer World" ..Looked good ..but the options from the factory were probably jacked up . Search my threads for more info supplied by "F5stop"..

He explains excactly how it works.

Shop around..

Thankful that you made it OK within reason! You got that youthful wreak out of your system...seems we all go througn it.

I assume the air bag deployed, how was that?

Here's to a safe future!

yeah the airbag wasn't as big as I thought it would be... to tell your the truth it didn't come out and hit me I feel into it so that was kinda cool.

[Crash ?]

I see a vanity tag in your future.. TREE KLR

Hate hearing about that.. I took out a deer with mine right at two months of having it.. I had dreams HOPING they'd total it rather than rebuild.. Steve Austin it ain't...

Good thing you had a airbag. Like hitting a big pillow

Just for the record, GM Dealer World is where we print all of our invoices. Just because it's printed from Dealer World in no way makes it a fake invoice.

Heh Aggiehummer,

In no way did I mean to Imply that GM Dealer World was a Fraud...If I gave that impression..please except my apologies. The way it was printed out looked funny to me. There were no option prices shown ..just a total price.

Maybe that's the way it is done..but it struck me funny..

Well Alstate isn't wanting to total it... The body shop says man it's totalled but alstat is being just like any other insurance company.. .Fishy
