Hey All,
I just joined and wanted to run some numbers past you all to see if I'm getting the right deal on this LBZ.
I wanted to get an 06 LBZ extcab before the 07's came out with all the pollution crap.
Found an 06 extcab LBZ in dark blue metallic. It's a LT short box LT2
onstar/XM 6 disc/plow/tow pkg. It's a demo truck with 6000 mis on it
Hows $34,900 sound to you guys ????
I've got it on the hook and am seriously thinking of going over and putting my plates on it Saturday.
Orig sticker was $44,893
and they don't seem to want to budge any more than that.
Thanx in advance for your advice

i just did the almost exact same deal on one . i got an 06 w/6k on her ,it has the lt3 pkg,plus they had put on some 285 mich's, but it has an lly. i spent just about the same money. there is a web site called galves.com that gives you the wholesale prices that a lot of dealers use , it costs about $30 ,i ran the #'s on my truck and thier truck and went to the dealer with them, at first it was no deal, then after a few weeks they accepted (after i emailed the owner!)but get the info from galves , for me it was worth the money , i would think you might do a little better than $34900 , plus it will tell ya what your trade is worth. if ya dont have any luck with the sales man try gettin a hold of a higher up . at this time of year i'm sure they want to unload it . just remember , you have the check book , if the #'s arent good for you just get up and walk out! good luck ,and let us know how it goes . ( what color is it )

Thanx Gil
I'm try'n to save the $30 by finding out what some folks on the forum have paid recently. Most people I talk to seem to think $34,900 is a good number for the LBZ Ext cab LT1 in Dk Blue, and I think it's very close. Just checkin'
Any comparisms would be welcomed

def a good price i work at a dealer and for a demo thats good the warranty will now run to 42000 instead of 36000 being that it would be sold with 6k on it worth it if you ask me!
