Ole max is 2 now, so i went to a few local dealers to find something a little differant. This is what i found:They follow you around the parking lot in a golf cart turn by turn until you get out. Every stealer i went to had the same thing, some jerk with sunglasses on following me around a parking lot turn by turn and even sometime upwards up 10 minutes waiting on me to get out. It might be ok to some but i found it to be really rude. Rude as hell! But anyway, the sticker on the truck i found was 49500 does anybody know what a good price would be?
I guess i'm a little out of the loop on this stuff after a few years so any help would be appreciated.

use a site like www.edmunds.com (http://www.edmunds.com/) to get MSRP, invoice, and a bid price. Some members on this site also offer some sort of an employee discount number that may get the price lower. Anyway, having MSRP and Invoice are a big help before you talk to the salesman. I found that www.carsdirect.com (http://www.carsdirect.com/) seems able to sell for a few hundred over invoice and with no haggle.
Well if the Cars Direct Website is close, I did good. I just got my '05 Chevy 3500 Silverado LT LWB CrewCab 4x4 SRW Duramax/Allison, loaded minus Sunroof and 2nd Alternator for $44700 (includes the $1k rebate for the D/A). I did not take the GMAC rebate. My bank gave a better rate that saves me more than GMAC was giving. The MSRP was $50700. I absolutely love the truck. :ro)

I am also looking for a new truck and have had many diff quotes from dealers in the area. The msrp of my truck was 49,212 and a local deal gave me a price of 42,398 - he included the rebates which I said were mine to use. I then got a quote from someone I know who has a dealership in the mid-west just to see. He gave me the same price (couple hundred more) but the rebates were mine to use - knocking the total price of the truck to 39,900.
Just thought I would share my experience. Holding off because I may go to a large motorhome set-up. Dually cannot pull very large trailers. Good luck with your search.

I always us to cruise the lots on Sunday while the salesmen where in church.:lol:

Yes I would say you are way overloaded ! Gonna be a 36ft stacker trailer with 3 race cars - spare engines etc etc.Way to much for any kind of dually !

F.Y.I. the G.M. Supplier Discount program can be found in this topic section. Using the directions, you can "Order" a truck & see both MSRP & G.M.S.D. price. It is hassel free & it is listed on a "TRUE INVOICE" TO get a G.M.S.D.P. You need to contact one of us. Be sure that the dealer will accept the G.M.S.D.Price # as we only get 2 per month to pass out! If you want a # you can send me a e-mail to = howard_m18 at yahoo.com. I try to keep them together, that is why I want ya to send the info. to me INSTEAD OF A P.M. Howard

Standard rule of thumb coming frm a friend who owns a dealership

MSRP example..... 45,000 X 18percent = 8,100

45,000 - 8100 = 36,900

36,000 Equals Dealer COST,,,,,, not invoice.

GM employer discount a standard 2 percent above this price.

GM Supplier discount is usually 4 percent above this price.

You should be able to get a truck with the MSRP of 49,000 for 41,787.

They'll give you a lot of **** to get it at this price but it is a Do able thing. Just stick to your plan.

I got a 05 MSRP @ 42500 for 36,100 which is inbetween employee and Supplier cost

Keep me posted to your turn out
Later

I just picked up an 05 CC DRW 2wd loaded LT for 36,500 Brand new, MSRP was around 46, so just shop around. All I dont have is the sunroof...

I went and drove a Dmax here in Atlanta about a week ago. Their circuit included an around the block drive with four stop lights. I think I got up to 40mph once. Being new to diesels I asked the salesman where the light was that I am supposed to wait to go off before I start. He just looked at me puzzled. I asked about the six speed for next year and he said he didn't know anything about it. He told me I could drive around the block again after my first pass and I said no and drove it back into the parking lot and left. Any of you guys have a preference of dealers here in Atlanta? Just don't say Tom Jumper, I had a bad experience there and will not go back.

my truck suspension has been modified to handle the weight.truck is never over 11000 lbs.trailer has three braked axles and is rated for 26000.dot does not seem to have a problem with it,as i have been inspected several times
