Thanks to the help of this forum, I was able to get this pretty gnarly deal on a 2018 GMC Terrain SLE. I worked the deal out over phone and email with a couple dealers and got it all taken care of in an afternoon. I probably could have pinched a little more, but I’m happy with $200/mo. Includes sales tax of 8.05%. The dealership I purchased from was awesome. I’ve bought a few new cars over the last couple years and this was the easiest yet. They had everything ready and didn’t fudge any numbers or try to pull any sneaky fast ones.
I didn’t bother to get a breakdown. I was happy with it and didn’t feel like pinching for another $10 a month. I’m guessing the extra $500 was in flex cash.
@Hatesneezing, I am currently exchanging emails with a few dealers in NEPA (and I started while March incentives were still around), but so far the lowest I could get was still around $250 for a FWD model. $200 is definitely a kind of a psychological threshold for me - if someone offered it to me for $199/mo, 0 down, all taxes included, I would’ve already been on my way to the dealership lol.
My hypothesis so far (and I might be absolutely wrong as I never even looked into GMC/Buick until the recent Encore thread on Slickdeals!) is that GM is quite strong in this part of PA anyway (at least several of my co-workers and neighbors own new GMC trucks), so they are not too aggressive with incentives like they could’ve been in more urban areas.
Anyway, if you happen to run into something better, would be great if you could share it I’ll do it too if I manage to find something closer to my target mark
