Find GMC Dealers in San Jose, California

Two thoughts: 1) When I was buying I was weighing a fully loaded 2008 Denali and one with about 3k less in options. It was noted that the 18k off MSRP might not fully pertain to the cheaper vehicle, which makes sense. I didn't negotiate a price on the cheaper vehicle so it's unclear how much less that discount would have been. 2) A dealer in Sunnyvale, CA had two prominent newspaper ads in the San Jose paper this past weekend for 18k off MSRP on all 2008 Yukon Denalis and Yukon Denali XLs in stock.

They are offering $12,500 off 06 Denalis in San Diego.

Good job Marc. What part of the country are you in? Just curious. Why an 06 and not wait for an 07. Was it strictly dollars and cents or body style?

Ok leasing isn't for me but here is an experience I am going through right now. First off congratulations on being on Edmunds. It is your first step to not getting screwed at the dealership. My wife and I were just starting out and really wanted a Durango. Make and Model could be anything, but we spent hours getting their "Monthly Payment" down. We were so worn out we didn't even really think about things like residual payment, buy out, and what the actual percentage rate was on the lease. Lets just say we love our car but we are in the 11% range, and have a balloon payment of 17,000 due in a year. Normal residual should have been around 12,000.00. We basically got screwed because we didn't know what we were getting our selves into. Let me just say this. Never ever talk about monthly payment. I don't care if you finance through them. I don't care if you pay cash. Just talk about selling price with fees included. Talk like you want to pay cash. They will be eager to drop the price. Your best bet if you can get it is to finance through your local credit union or bank. Then buy it out right although right now 2004 deals through Chevy offer 6K cash back or 1.9% for 72 months. Not bad, except get them to agree on the price first then talk about finance. That way they can't just slip the 6k back to you as though it was their selling price. In the end for the Durango we payed full asking price for a 2000 model. It isn't bad, but I am kicking my self at the lack of education. Now I just want to dump it and get a Trail Blazer of Explorer. I am not sure which is better. Although the interior of the Chevy seems nicer than the Explorer, but not Quite as nice as the Envoy or Mountaineer, which are just souped up versions of the previously mentioned vehicles. Just think of it this way. Leasing is like renting a car and then you dump it and start over. If you plan on wanting it longer than 3 years then buy it.

not sure if anyone is out there since this board is soooo quiet. Today's paper has an ad (8 to choose from), 2004 GMC Sierra ext. Cab for $16,666 I can't imagine the truck being stripped naked, so I'm going to check it out. Am I missing something here or is this an excellent deal? Are the 2005 a total rehaul of the truck? is the small engine a dog? The picture had wheels on it.
