May need to get a new truck

Postby Chasmanian [OP] » Dec 23 2011, 4:13am

May be needing to get a new truck. I love my truck but I may be in the need of a 2500.

The question I have is do you think I would get a better deal buying now or waiting until the first of the year? I'm not in a mad rush so a couple months won't kill me.
Buying things I don't need to impress people I don't know.

From what I'm finding in my area the 11's are pretty much gone so I'm wondering how long before GM ups the incentive anti on 12's. I do have a private voucher for $1000 that can be used on top of the current incentives so wondering if I should jump on a 12 now or wait. Voucher only good through 1/3.

Now is the time to deal on a 11 Chas. Nothing better than playing the salesman. If your in no hurry. Offer a dirt ball low price. Give him your phone number and walk away when he laughs at your offer. Let him know your ready to buy when the price is right. If he wants to sell bad enough he will call, and you will get a great deal. If he dosnt, start shopping for a 12. I have 4 Chevy dealers in my area, and theres nothing better than seeing the salesman trying to outdo another dealership. Hope to see some pics soon of your new ride,, ;)

I just got a great deal on a 12, you have to play the incentives right though. Also call several dealerships, ask for their rock bottom price.. play one against the other... One will offer the right deal. Be willing to drive to get it. Also use the internet to check to see if 0% for 5 years works, or the $3000 off.

We got $3500 off, and a great price, and then financed through the dealer (something I never do), but they were able to best my Credit union by 0.5% so I was surprised, cause have never had that happen before.

Shop the car, do a cash deal. Then shop the financing... If you have a trade? good luck... Better off selling your car yourself.

I was referring to buying now and then seeing the rebates increase in a week.
