Question for All:

How much off MSRP did you get your vehicle for?

I think I got around 10% off MSRP. Special order Denali. They had to use another dealers Denali allotment to order one since they had already used all of theirs.

Some buyers don't like to negotiate; others LOVE the game of working the best deal. Some need a car TODAY and therefore don't have as much leverage as someone who is not in a hurry. So, in not so many words, a car is worth whatever a buyer is willing to pay for it. A good car dealer recognizes this reality and therefore encourages its salespeople and sales managers to push for their definition of a good deal.
It's just business, and businesses do not exist for charity---they exist to make a profit.
You'll get a good deal as a consumer if you are well informed, patient and willing to negotiate without buckling under pressure. End of story.

They dont have a vehicle with the 22" Machined Aluminum Wheels, ACC, Open Road, 4wd, that is Silver exterior with Black Interior.

They have great deals but I dont want to spend $60k+ on a vehicle that doesnt meet my needs/wants. Then its just a waste of money.

The Dillon RAM dealership in Boise will special order at the same sale prices. I assume their GMC dealership would do the same. It's probably too late to order a 2017 but you could order a 2018 with everything you want for a great price. I'd give them a call.

None of that is in dispute.

The question is how does this guy get rock bottom price.

Shop around and a find a dealer ready to deal, also be willing to travel, possibly long distances to find the best deal.
