    negotiating sale price with post bail-out GM

    I'll get a pic on later. It is Mocha Steel Metallic. Wife and I both love it. We were getting a little limited on colors, I mean we would have got any color had the price been right, but we were really looking towards the Mocha or Taupe Grey and their aren't many of those out there in our...

    negotiating sale price with post bail-out GM

    Found our deal on an LTZ Tahoe. Got $7895 off MSRP (including $2000 GM incentive) on a brand new unit (12 miles) by going across state line, which is about $2500-2700 more than any of my local Ohio dealers would do. Plus I probably saved another $100 since the doc and paper fees were less over...

    negotiating sale price with post bail-out GM

    That is exactly the way I always thought was the case from previous purchases, but recent events had me questioning if "big brother" was influencing the final sale price. For 4 dealers in my area to essentially tell me the same story it seemed to me as if there was some centralized instruction...

    negotiating sale price with post bail-out GM

    Visiting another dealer and again was told that they can not go below preferred. This is 3 different GM dealers in my area and they are all singing the same tune. It really seems like they are following marching orders or some coincidence that they all draw lines in the sand at Preferred...

    Service Tire Monitor

    Getting intermittent message stating "service tire monitor". When this message does come up (not real often) if I check all the tire pressures they read ok on the display. I had to change an individual tire pressure monitor in one tire once. In that case that tire was reading zero all the...

    May 2011 Incentives

    The April $2000 cash incentive just ended 5/2/11 and the website has not updated the new offers yet. I chatted with a GM rep online and they did not have it available. Does anyone know if the $2k is going to be extended or if a higher amount might be offered in consumer cash? I suspect it...

    Squeeking rear end

    If they will do it under warranty then that is great. Otherwise you'd have $15-22 some dollars in a ujoint from the local autoparts store and then it is just whatever your own time is worth and what kind of tools you have to remove the old one and put the new one in. It is really easy, but...

    Squeeking rear end

    The noise appeared for the first time after the brake service? At first I was going to say driveshaft universal joint. But if the noise is new since the brake job, maybe the disc brake dustshield might have got tweated and is rubbing on the rotor? But that would be present if on or off the...

    Stability System Disabled and Transmission

    We had this exact same issue on our 2005 this past Dec/Jan. Service 4WD light started coming on sometimes, but 4WD still worked. Then service 4WD light came on more frequently. Next we were getting messages about stability system disabled and the lights on the 4wd postion switches were not...

    Question for those with 2nd row bench...

    Value is going to be in the eye of the beholder. Personally, we wish we had 2nd row bench over the captains on our 05. Traveling with 5 people can be somewhat frequent and with the captains we have to put a 3rd row seat in for that. The 3rd row seats are never in unless they are being used...

    Specific differences on emission packages?

    So say a 2011 LTS Yukon with FE9 sold in Ohio vs a 2011 LTS Yukon with NE1 sold in Pennsylvania, what might the difference be?

    Specific differences on emission packages?

    I'm in Ohio. Typically vehicles sold in Ohio would have FE9 Federal emissions, although being close to PA, sometimes vehicles end up on the lots here with one of the state specific emission package.

    Specific differences on emission packages?

    Does anyone know the specific differences on a 2011 built with FE9 federal emissions vs state specific standards, such as NE1 for instance? Is there additional parts/components or same parts/components with some different aspects, or is it different computer tuning? Any info would be...
