I have called about 20 dealerships all around me, this is the best I have gotten so far.

numbers in the calculator

What you all think?

Thanks!

what rebates do you qualify for? any reason you arent looking for a 2024?

I only qualify for the

1500 - Conquest non GM 2011 or newer
1500 - Loaner lease cash

Why would I go for a 2024? I thought that model has/had a bunch of software issues?

I have been asking some dealers about the 2024 but prices have not been as good as this one above.

didnt know about the software issues. is this with 1st payment das or true $0 out of pocket signing?

I know since it will be registered in GA i need to pay the full taxes up front.

But other then tax and fees they are telling me it will be 0 out of pocket signing

honestly i would roll in the dealer fee and the acq fee. then youre looking at $315/month, with first payment and taxes DAS. Total $1,055.00 how many miles does this loaner have?

They are saying it only has 6 miles on it.

so how can it qualify for loaner cash? lol i mean the deal doesnt look to bad. i would try to get them down to 40k selling price before incentives.

I ended up signing this deal. Talked them down some and was able to find a 1k supplier rebate on top.

Congrats on the deal! How did you find a supplier rebate? Do you hv someone working for GM? I am kind of confused on how the supplier rebate works if this is dealer provided or customer specific.

Sounds like a good deal. Did you just call dealers and ask prices til you found a good one? I’m trying to find a similar deal but not sure how to go about it. Never leased before, only purchased and the dealers were always really pushy.

Since a few were asking.

I checked if the company that I work for qualifies but it did not. For grins I checked my wife’s company and surprisingly her company did qualify.

The Supplier rebate is for someone that works for GM or an affiliate company. But you should look up your company. You might be surprised like taco bell qualifies for a supplier rebate.

I don’t think I can post the link here but if you just google “gm supplier company lookup” that will take you to the website to see if your company or spouse’s company qualifies.

Then just follow the instructions on the gm supplier website to get your code and then you have to provide proof that you or your spouse works there. Like a pay stub or company badge plus the person’s DL.

Yes it is some work to find a deal. I called about 30 dealerships around me in a 500 mile radius and ended up going with a dealership out of state. Just start by calling them. I first talked down the Out the Door priced. Once I got that and the number looked good I told them I wanted to lease instead. Just worked the details from there. I went back and forth with the sales and sales manger like 10 times before reaching a deal. Hope that helps.

Glad it worked but this is not a great way to negotiate and you will end up sending 10x the time and back and forth needed.

Next time, make an unambiguous immediately actionable offer directly to the SM. The only response from them should be a yes, no, or counter. Then move on to the next.

How do you skip to find the sales manager instead of the sales associate or a bot? You go to their site and look for their gm info or ask for SM info via chat and make your offer?
