I custom ordered a 18 Denali xl, it's now on the train so they went ahead and gave the employee deal, ended up 11% off sticker and got the blue book excellent trade valuation on our 15 8-spd, excited to get in the 10 speed.

Congrats! I’ve always wondered how the negotiations vs. manufacturers incentives process goes when you custom order a vehicle? There are really 3 points in time where manufacturer’s incentives may change during the custom order process: 1- upon initial order, 2- while its in process being built, “on the train” as you said, and 3- upon arrival.

Do you negotiate the price at time of order and take the then current incentives, then have the choice to take different and changing incentives? Or are you forced to take whatever incentive is current upon delivery?

We negotiated 4K off the sticker of 81.5k (I got the BIG brakes!) and he said when the car is close there may be better end of year incentives. He was right! Very easy transaction

Just recently placed a factory/custom order for an 18" Tahoe. Negotiated price upfront, gave the dealer 3K down and was told I would be eligible for whichever incentives were available upon delivery/pickup.

What do you think about the risk of the incentives upon delivery being worse than when you ordered the vehicle? That’s what I worry about.

Absolutely possible, but ultimately my goal was to custom order my tahoe regardless of the incentives. The key was negotiating the price I wanted up front. If the incentives save me additional money upon delivery then thats great, if not, I am still paying the agreed upon price at the time of ordering.

Over $10K off sounds like a dang good deal on a Yukon. I never see them discounted much.

Yea I was very happy with the deal. The dealer found $6500 in incentives and added those on top of supplier pricing to arrive at the sales price (in my experience they'll typically let you have either/or but not both).

It was a nice change of pace to encounter a dealer who I felt was looking for ways to get me the best price possible on the vehicle. Made the deal over email/phone sight unseen and traveled ~300 miles to pick it up.

I picked up a 2018 Premier with the 6.2L. Sticker $75,600. Paid $67,500 plus got 27k trade on a 2013 4Runner and also added $5000 GM card bonus cash. That got us out the door at $36,000. Love the 6.2L and the Tahoe.

Denali’s have zero percent for 72 months now. Free money!

How do you like the Tahoe vs the 4Runner? I have a 2012 4Runner Limited and have been kicking tires on a Yukon/Tahoe but I’m mostly worried about reliability and the larger depreciation hit. Nice deal you got though.

Ours was a limited too. Never had any issues with the 4runer the wife bought it prior to me and my kids and we outgrew it. I am a bigger guy so I love Tahoe. I have a Chevy 2500HD, so this is the wife’s ride. She loves it too. Tons more power and better creature comforts. Gas mileage is better with the Tahoe. We are getting slmsot 24mpg on highway if the wife can keep her foot out of it..lol. The 4Runner usually got 18-19 all the time. The ride is better with the magnetic ride control. We plan on keeping this one for the long run so a depreciation isn’t that big of a deal as long as it holds up. We looked at a Yukon as well but the dealership didn’t want to deal like the Chevy dealer. We actually test drove it before buying the Chevy. It probably would have been our choice if they would have came close for a deal.

I went to Simpson in Garden Grove and worked with a guy named Casey.

Can you share Casey's contact info.. I'm looking at a Tahoe LT at his location?

prices seem to keep climbing since almost purchasing in December. The two 18 Yukons are now $5,500 more than what I could have purchased for in December. Had an 18 Denali ready to sign @ 16% off sticker and now best they can do is 10%. Crazy.

I think that might be because of the zero percent/72 month financing. I noticed that an XL Denali that i was looking at (MSRP $82,400) was marked down to $72k (internet price) a few days before the 0% started. However, as soon as the 0% started that same exact vehicle got marked up to $75,500. I think they just keep changing the incentives around...one month it favors folks who want to finance through GM, the next it favors cash buyers-and/or folks who finance through their own banks...

 

[sickk23]

But 0% is over. It ended just before I bought mine lmao just my luck. I got another burb because all of my Denali picks were only about $6k off, vs $14k off when I started looking.

ajs800, I jumped on the deal in December, maybe something for Memorial Day. Just hang in there.

GM Rolls Out $10,000 Discount on Escalade to Fend Off Navigator

[sickk23]

Well that’s dumb, it’s only for lessees of 2016 Escalades. And owners get $7,500 off.

 

[ajs800]

I have seen several navi's over the past few weeks and man are they nice. Too much coin but I was impressed. I looked at another expedition over the weekend but think I'm still leaning towards a new burb premier or denali XL. This is Assuming I can find one buffeting-free.
