blwnsmoke Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 (edited) Amazing that Chevy is already advertising on TV their ugly ass trucks.. $5,500 rebates plus $500 more if financed through GM ($9,015 total value including MSRP discount) or 0% for 72. It is TRUCK month lmao. Edited March 25, 2019 by blwnsmoke 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rperez817 Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Nothing new or unusual. That's how things work with full size pickup trucks from all brands, not just Chevy. MSRPs on full size pickup trucks these days are inflated like crazy. Also, few people are going to qualify for the $9,015 offer that you mentioned in its entirety. Many of the incentives are conditional on financing, ownership of a current truck, specific packages, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many of the incentives are conditional on financing, ownership of a current truck, specific packages, etc. It IS unusual on a brand new from the ground up design. We aren't talking about a 4 year old F150.. we're talking about a BRAND NEW, fully redesigned model and the fact they have to through $5,500 on the hood is ridiculous (in rebates let alone what one negotiates off sticker). I also clearly stated that it is $5,500 + $500 if you finance through them.. so if you don't, it is $5,500 still on the hood. $3,500 Cash + $2,000 Competitive Cash + $3,015 off MSRP. This is on Crew Cab LT All Star vehicles.. so no rare 1 off vehicles that Ford usually pulls on their F150s nor a vehicle with their tiny 2.7 4 cylinder (offer includes the 5.3 v8). Your defending of GM in every aspect possible is very old on here. They should NOT have to throw $9,000 on the hood of a brand new model. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silvrsvt Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 I saw one on the road yesterday for the first time (didn't they come out last year?!) and it looks awful in person too-the detailing on the body was soft-like it was carved out of a bar of soap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because it takes money to make money. Taking the sales incentives into account, all of the manufacturers of full size pickup trucks are still making truckloads of profit selling these things. The pickup truck manufacturers, especially the 2 U.S. domestic ones, follow the technique used in retail. Mark up the sticker price ridiculously high. Then offer sales incentives that appear to be "huge" to get more and more people to buy their trucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasonj80 Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 When you drive past the RAM assembly plant there are huge banners of "Go for Silver" when the workers walk in; FCA wants RAM to outsell the Chevy brand and I think are going to make a hard run for it this year. The Lease deals on the F-150/RAM/Chevy/GMC's/Toyota's are crazy cheap for employees. $150/Month will get you a pickup with a 50K sticker with 0 down.

grbeck Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 I don't know about other states, but in Pennsylvania, the higher trim levels of the F-150 have become what the Mercury Grand Marquis and Lincoln Continental sedan were in the 1970s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can still easily get $7,500 or more off MSRP on higher trim Ford F-150, even with relatively low rebates. Here's an example King Ranch F-150 at my local dealership. Only $1,750 in rebates, but over $5,700 in dealer discount. https://www.autonationfordfortworth.com/new/Ford/2019-Ford-F-150-322523d40a0d0cc70321ad120f921692.htm?searchDepth=2:52 GM and FCA also use variable rebates based on trim level. Both of them offer the biggest rebates not on the highline trims of their full size pickup trucks, but the midgrade. Toyota and Nissan by contrast apply the same fixed rebate amount for all trims of Tundra and Titan (except Tundra TRD Pro). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Everybody discounts off MSRP - that's standard dealer practice. Factory rebates are entirely different. Increased rebates always mean sales are slower than expected. Now I don't know if Chevy has done that or if these are their normal rebates but if Ford and Chevy have similar pricing but one has significantly higher rebates then that indicates that sales are slow.

630land Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 (edited) This is why Detroit 3 are giving up cars, buyers demand rebates. So, only sell the products that make huge money after such discounts. But regarding Chevy trucks, best thing they can do to add value is merge with GMC brand. Some buyers are willing to pay more to have it. Edited March 26, 2019 by 630land 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good points akirby sir. 1Q 2019 U.S. vehicle sales numbers for GM and Ford should be released next Monday or Tuesday. It will be interesting to see the trends for full size pickup truck sales and the average incentive spend at both automakers. Here in the DFW Metroplex, new generation Silverado and Sierra seem to be very popular. But DFW and Texas motorists are more truck happy than the norm. Don't know if the rest of the U.S. has been snapping up these pickups with the same fervor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mackinaw Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 I've seen one new Chevy up here in Northern Michigan. Kind of surprising, because there's a ton of GM retirees up here, all eligible for GM's version of the A/Z plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
