One thing I didn't even mention was that I had $317 on the GM Buypower rewards card that they applied to the purchase of the truck. They asked me if they could go ahead and apply in on 30 October when we made the deal. I said yes, and they did. I still haven't gotten that back, but it's effectively the same as cash. Offer + acceptance + consideration = contract. There was no reason for me to believe it was anything but a done deal when driving over there.

If you haven't already, see if you can't go up the chain to GM's main offices and see if you can't get somewhere. I'm a Dodge/Mopar guy but any time I've ever had an issue with a dealership, I've gone over their heads and the home office is usually in a hurry to make it right. When I had a local dealer (not the one I purchased from) do a warranty recall service on my Challenger and it came back literally covered with oily finger prints on the inside (and the recall service NOT performed, by the way), I went straight to the home office and they got the ball rolling FAST to make sure it got in literally the next day to make it right. At the very least, they should get your rewards money back and probably can get the same or similarly configured truck shipped to a dealer more local to you in Mandeville/NOLA. Considering how much money you've given GM, they should be in a hurry to make it right. I am absolutely dreading trading my 2011 Range Rover Sport in because of exactly this experience. It isn't in the best of shape, it is an expedition vehicle and got treated as such so she's banged up but the cost to maintain is far exceeding the actual value of it so I'm looking to go to either a Jeep or the new Ford Bronco if it ever actually gets released.

Then again, air being denser improves grip. Race cars use it because it's consistent wrt properties like thermal, moisture content etc, but less than zero benefits for regular drivers..

Negotiate the new vehicle price only, do not tell them you are financing or paying cash as this will have a big effect on the price. If they bring out the 4 squares paper tell them to save the snake oil speech. Decline every single dealer add on. Decline any Doc fee over a few hundred. Make sure there is no destination fee as that is in the sticker price. The add on fees are the big kickers watch those like a hawk and decline most.

Wasnt saying i wasnt buying it from them but wasnt saying i was.

When I walked away from the deal because of the trade-in value (on a two year old car no less), the sales manager followed me out to my truck and apologized and wanted to complete the sale because I had purchased two other new vehicles at this dealership. I told him that I was done with it and not to worry about it that I'll purchase it easily at a different dealership especially since it was the end of the year. Then my phone began to ring and the first time I answered it, they tried again to have me return and pick-up the new vehicle. I told them that I was no longer interested in the vehicle and to please stop calling. The sales manager called me the next day and I couldn't stop laughing and I hung up the phone. I went to another dealership and purchased the exact same vehicle for the same price and they delivered it three days later with a huge bow on the roof.

Im a tech at a GMC dealer.... I can tell you right now two things. 1. get rid of the 2017 yukon before the powertrain warranty is up. They are giant shit boxes. they blow lifters which then smokes the camshaft, valve springs snap, push rods bend and fuel injectors shit the bed and get stuck in the head. The 8speed transmission is a major issue. Torque converters need to be replaced, valve bodies take a dump and early issues lead to needing a transmission replacement. thats the Yukon.... 2. The 2020 Sierra 2500hd is also having some issues. The rear glass is leaking when it rains, ruining the headliner, seats and carpet. Get a lightly used 17-18 gmc 2500hd, you will be a lot happier and they have no issues. This dealer also seems like a dump. Call GM corporate and talk to them, they usually help customers out. Not taking their side but the factory Bridgestone tires that go on these 22s are about 1400 to have all four replaced

I can't believe GM doesn't have a recall on these. They actually replaced the motor in my friends GMC because they said there was no fix. Smoked. Done. Had a loaner for 3 months. He told him to get a plug in ODB cancel modem from "RANGE" for $150. Can you imagine???

I have to ask, is one of the tactics to ignore customers? When I got out of the military I decided to trade in my 3 year old loaded Tacoma for a compact. I preferred the Honda Civic but was going to save myself 2 grand for the lesser Toyota Corolla. Drove to the Roseville automall in Roseville CA. I was on the Toyota lot for nearly 45 minutes. I walked the entire lot twice. I was one of maybe 3 customers there on that day. About 100 degrees so didnt really want to be out and about like that. Physically walked past about 5 salesmen and saw at least 5 others and not a single one acknowledged my existence. Finally said fuck it drove a few lots down to the Honda dealer. Was immediately approached by two sales people as I would expect. Told them what happened and that apparently Toyota wasn't interested in selling cars. Asked if they were. Was out of there a couple hours later with a new Civic. Spent a bit more but got a better car. Have had that car since 2007. Still cringe thinking about that toyota dealer.

Unfortunately dealers are independently owned and operated, so prices, pitches and support vary from one to another. You should really call GMC customer service and lodge a formal complaint. While the dealers aren't owned by GM, they still need to listen to corporate or they won't get product. I would also report the dealerships that won't honor the military discount. It doesn't come from the dealership, it comes from corporate. That's total BS. Good thing I wasn't there with you, there would have been choice words to the owner.

One reason why Tesla is doing well and traditional dealers fought hard to prevent them from operating directly. All a dealer is doing is distributing a product.

Last year I was ready to purchase and my local dealer Bomnin in south florida was a nightmare so I purchased one in NH and had it shipped. The NH dealer Macmulkin was absolutely perfect to work with. Now every deal is giving up to 8k off the C8 and begging to sell them. Bomnin had ridiculous add ons and Macmulkin had zero fees. I remember seeing Hendrick tacking on almost 7k in BS add ons like tint, ceramic, front ppf and nitrogen in the tires. I'm hoping to get a used z06 next year but if I ever buy a new car again it will be through Macmulkin.

Most dealerships are NOT designed for kids and they will bore/get hungry quickly so it’s a great foil to the usual “let me go back and talk to the manager” BS. Prepare the kid ahead of time and schedule a thing to do like a movie that you MUST get to later in the evening. Also have your wife/SO on the phone to play “bad cop” and pretend to throw out budget concerns, and then have them text you similar nearby deals for comps to throw the salesman off. Finally, call another dealership yourself ahead of time and ask them to call you back about a similar vehicle, then make your salesman wait on YOU while you discuss another offer. If you have time. It’s fun.)
