H3 Purchase

[aggiehummer...er]

Just for the record, on the H3 the GMID price is actually below invoice.

All of them come with the chrome grills. The color matched ones we did are ones that we sent to our body shop and had painted.

f5fstop,
Did you get my email? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

I have two waiting for Jan 1 to get GMID numbers. So, if you are either Adam or Pete, the answer is yes. If not, the answer is no.

Thanks for all the great advice. We took a break on decision making over Christmas. I'm going to write the dealer we have been working with and see what they can come up with. I'll stay updated. Anybody bought in North Carolina or Virginia?

f5fstop,
Did you get my email?

f5fstop, I plan on waiting till spring to get my H3, no sense ruining it in the harsh Canadian winter. Would you know if your GMID certificates are valid in Canada? I don't need one just yet, I just want to cover all my bases.

Can't answer about finance rates, and I thought the black grills were aftermarket. However, ask your dealer if they will accept GMID (GM in the Driveway), if so, send me an email, from your email address, to f5fstop@comcast.net (make sure to put something in the subject line or it might be spammed), include your date of birth and last four numbers of your social security number.
I'll get you a GMID authorization number and this drops the price of the H3 to approximately 2 percent above invoice. Most dealers will accept GMID; even if they won't budge off MSRP.
If your dealer does not accept, there are plenty out there that will. Please make sure you can use the GMID. I'm allowed two per month, and if the number is issued and not redeemed, it might hurt someone else.

What Guppy stated about dealers searching for vehicles, that is correct. I went to my dealer and they not only took my GMS (actual GM employee discount), but they also sent someone to Indianapolis to pick up the H3 I wanted. I had performed a search on the GM dealer system for a white H3 with off-road and luxury package, as well as XM, chrome package, etc., and I found four within 250 miles of the Detroit area. So, dealers do perform trades.

Wanted to show off our new ride since we received so much help from the site. 3 days old and already washed twice! Free 3 month to XM got messed up so dealer paid for entire year to make it up to us..

You should do the GMID for sure. Also, look into the Smart Buy program. Sometimes they offer some really good incentives through that program on select GM vehicles. I just went with my neighbor and helped her buy a new Pontiac G6. She got 4K off sticker going through the smart buy and I gave her the GMID discount which took off another 2,400. She got a great deal. Then, when the first invoice comes she plans to write a check for the payoff and she will own the car.

Just to Clarify then, there would be discount on the Lux Package, Automatic transmission or Chrome Package? What exactly IS on the invoice of the vehicle?

[aggiehummer...er]

GMID and Supplier pricing are the same. These apply only to stuff on the invoice of the vehicle. Everything else will be at the dealer's discretion.

Then I guess I have a problem reading the following GM invoice on an H3.
Purchase price: $37460
GMID: $34241
Invoice: $33422 (does not reflect any special prices to dealers, etc.)
GMS: 32766.93

I won't post the PEP prices listed...

Prices also do not reflect any rebates or specials offered by dealers.
