GM Offering Supplier Discount To Individual Customers For Black Friday

It’s hard to complain about discounted stuff these days, especially in the car market. While GM has had it’s fair share of discounts over the past few years to help move vehicles, their latest should be a huge hit.

Black Friday has become a stupid phenomenon in recent times, causing businesses to open earlier, and stay open far later than they ever should. GM dealerships aren’t going to join in on the insanity, but their prices on certain models will definitely drop.

Through December 2nd, specified Chevrolet, Buick and GMC models (but not Cadillac) will be sold to happy customers at the “supplier discount price.”To clarify what exactly that is, a GM spokeswoman told Automotive News that it’s the dealer’s invoice price, plus destination charge and a $150 program fee. Not free, but the cost of the vehicles should be more favorable to customers.

The specific models discounted are as follows: 2013 and 2014 Chevrolet Traverse, Cruze, Equinox and Malibu models. For Buick, the options are either the Enclave or LaCrosse – if GMC is your preferred brand, the Acadia is your sole option.

Sure we would like to see the C7 Corvette, Camaro Z/28, and 2014 Sierra Denali on that list, but beggars can’t be choosers, right? If you’re interested, head on over to the brand websites, and you’ll be told “the price you see is the price you pay.”

  1. “the price you see is the price you pay.”

    Is crap. Cause if you want a “DEAL” wait till they drop the price where it should be. @ least 10k to 12k less. ESP since GM just raised there prices to lower them… Thats right. They raised the prices on there trucks for example then they raised the “discount” price for suppliers but the “discount” ain’t enough to even come close to cover there “raise” in prices

  2. Everything’s priced to a monthly payment. Just wait ’til interest rates go up, then you’ll see some price drops.

  3. to get to a 10K to 12K discount threshold the vehicle has to be a triple loaded $55K to$70K+. The factory will have to kick in incentives to help the dealer get to that level of discount.
    since the sales are up, the discounts are down. simple economics.
    by the way ALL vehicles are prices competitively in their own class. otherwise the least expensive vehicle in its class would gain market share. that won’t happen.
    also warranties play a huge part of the end price.
    GM & Ram have 100,000 mile warranties. Ford does not, so they can sell their stuff for much less in the showroom.
    if you don’t think the other 40,000 miles of warranty doesn’t matter, think again. that saves Ford billions of dollars every single year. it costs consumers that same billions of dollars every year. if anybody thinks that vehicles went up in price to much, everybody should check the cost of your health insurance (if your NOT dropped). check your new personnel or family deductible while your at it. then check how much you have to pay in sales tax when you sell your house next year.
    the great thing is that you can go to any GM, Chrysler, Ford, & more website and shop, check inventory and get a REAL quote. unlike healthcare.gov were you will be fleeced beyond belief.
    want to shop for a car, go to any Fleet Manager Monday thru Friday (only, like your Doctor call first for an appointment) bring your business license, or credit union card (don’t tell the credit union, they charge $$$). or ask them, in fleet sales, what it takes to get the fleet price. they will always tell you. some vehicles will be excluded! the fleet person will show you the invoice every time. no legitimate Fleet Dept ? just leave, but run !
    what you see or hear on TV/Radio/Newspaper/COSTCO/Credit Union/AAA/USAA etc is all advertising and will cost you !
    by the way, GMC, Chevy, Ram & Ford NEW truck/van purchases will all GIVE you select work related equipment for FREE for just registering your new truck/van in your company/business name ! GO TO THE FLEET MANAGER ! PS; Trade-ins? NOT a good idea in the fleet dept.
    Have fun !
