Alternative to Laura GMC for no-haggle low prices?

That's funny. I live in Boise and both Dennis Dillon and Edmark were not willing to budge on their prices so I ended up going to Vancouver, WA for my '16 XL Denali. This was back in February though.

Just got the $3,500 GMC Bonus Cash at Laura, but its gone again now. Thanks for the tip to even lament missing the May batch, that might have been the difference!

How much did you get off sticker? I've been tracking Dillon for a while and they are awfully low.

X2. I'd have to agree with this. I came across them at one point on cars.com on both GMCs and when shopping for a Kia Optima as well.

I missed out on the bonus cash again?
FWIW, they said they only had like 5 of them this time around, and I had to wait until a certain day for it to be active and take delivery (which worked out fine for me, YMMV)

When you see one of these that you like, you can't think about it, sleep on it, ask the wife, ask the banker, etc etc. You gotta buy it! That's what I did with mine. I had no idea how good of a deal I got, nor did know the $3500 bonus cash was so rare. I hadn't shopped for one since my 15 in May of 2014 so I wasn't for sure how the market was 2 years later.

^^While I agree and wish I could have jumped on it, Covert Austin is 900miles away from me here in New Mexico. Besides that, I'm still debating a QX80 Limited.. Especially since it's so easy to get $10k off of those. I can't decide though...

I can add Bill Pierre Chevrolet in Seattle. They have Tahoes up to 16K off.

So I just checked out their website. I see the $16k discount you're talking about but I looked at the online window sticker and its $5k less than what they claim the MSRP is on their price breakdown. So they're marking up their vehicles???... They're inventory kinda sucks, only 10 hoes and 2 burbs.

You're right about their stock. Not a big dealer for these vehicles. But the differential in sticker MSRP and online claim will need to be addressed by anyone who works with these folks.

^^I'm sure they're just marked up. That's how it is where I live.. Small dealer marks em up about $5k, calls it "adjusted market value"

Yup. Here is what a sales rep there says.
"The discounts are taken with the NWMA (north west market adjustment) being considered. We list our prices on our web platform in that fashion. Our inclusion of the NWMA into the pricing scheme serves two purposes, it allows us to obey lawful regulatory obligations relative to accurate pricing and in certain cases is assists with our ability to absorb negative equity for our clients without disobeying pricing laws.
Our vehicles online show a discount from the adjusted sales price, our prices are still typically within +/- 5% of the lowest market prices. Obviously we can't have the lowest prices for everything and a number of our affiliates require us to have a spread. Prices are always subject to change and discounts available that may or may not be listed in the information provided."

But they use an acronym - that means it's a real thing!

What's really weird to me is that they mark them up to discount them $16k.. It must help the people with a ton of negative equity.

True. A $7-11K deal would attract a lot of attention. But this NW markup nonsense . . . .
