   Dealers are still short on inventories.

   The large dealer I purchased my Canyon from still only has 3 new canyons on the lot. They sell them and generally hacpve to wait for more new inventory,

   After over a month my area is just now showing 2 Denali models for the region and even they say in transit.

   The Canyons are showing a little more increase in inventory at some dealers while others remain with few in stock.

   While the full size plays a small part inventory or the lack still has been an issue.

   Many on the forum have trouble locating models the want to buy or have been waiting months for their models.

   Also there are no Diesels being delivered. Those who have ordered have not even seen a code showing it was built.

   The mid size truck generally are small truck fans, SUV/CUV fans and as we have discovered ex Camaro owners in much greater numbers than we had ever considered.

   Most full size buyer ps buy full size and most mis size buy mid size as each want a specific right size for them.

   I had considered the discounted Sierra as it was $10k off but I wanted a smaller truck.

      When I bought my 2017 Colorado Diesel Crew Cab, 6’2″ bed 2WD in March, it was one of two on the lot and with the other being an over accessorized and overpriced short bed. I cannot recall if the short bed was even a diesel. They had to look for nearly 30 minutes to find it as it had just rolled off the truck the day before and hadn’t been prep’d for customer delivery yet and was being stored in an overstock lot off property.

      The one I purchased was 98% of what I wanted and the only one that close to what I wanted within 100 or more miles of where I live in the 92595 ZipCode. There were ZERO INCENTIVES as the dealer told me that every one that rolled sold and that they really couldn’t keep the diesels in stock. Almost as soon as people found them in stock they sold.

      The dealers with stock on hand typically seemed to be playing the game of over accessorizing the diesels and thus over pricing the vehicles hoping for higher profits because they had some stock where those that right priced or rightly accessorized did not have or only had very limited stock.

      I purchased on a Costco discount and it basically covered my tax and license. I also put 40% cash to get the truck the night I rolled in to test drive it. I also had to make a late evening drive roughly a half hour from my home.

      After I got mine and began shopping it around to accessorize it, shop after shop said that the Colorado diesels were VERY hard to come by and this in an area where car dealerships spring up like weeds.

         I found npmuch the same.

         Only models here were long bed or crew models as the are the slow movers.

         The CCSB models last only a few days.

         The Diesels if under $40k sell fast if over $40 k they sit.

         My Denali was one that had no incentive or discounts till the dealer was coming up on the 90 day mark were they would have to pay interest. They then were willing to deal it at a SLT discounted price. It made a good by.

         I have watched the dealers of late and some are now just getting new models to where some show 5-10 models at best. Some are still not CCSB THAT MOST WANT.

   Probably due to the extremely dishonest Chevy ales reps like the one at john always Chevrolet. Will never own another GMC vehicle. Negative 10 stars for John Elway Chevrolet in Englewood Colorado.
