GMC Terrain sales increased 65.04 percent to 31,595 units, results that outpace the mainstream compact crossover segment as customers continue switching away from sedans to utilities and pickup trucks. So for January 2019, a new GMC discount reduces the price of select Terrain models by over $7,000.
The Incentive
The GMC discount is only applicable to the oldest 20 percent of select 2019 GMC Terrain SLT models in dealer stock. GMC provides the following example offer of the incentive on a 2019 Terrain SLT equipped with the Preferred Package:
- $1,683 price reduction + $5,468 purchase allowance = a total $7,151 off the MSRP when one finances with GM Financial.
As such, the GMC discount brings the starting price of the nicely-equipped 2019 Terrain SLT from $37,635 to a much more palatable $30,484.
Note that the GMC discount in question applies only to select in-stock units of the Terrain in SLT form specifically. In other words, it does not apply to any/all 2019 models.

About GMC Terrain
The GMC Terrain is a compact crossover that currently is GMC's smallest crossover slotting below the midsize GMC Acadia.
The first-generation Terrain ran from the 2010-2017 model years and was based on the Theta 2 platform. The vehicle was a "tweeter" model that straddled the compact and midsize CUV segments in size. The second-generation Terrain was introduced for the 2018 model year. It rides on the GM D2 platform shared with the second-generation Chevrolet Equinox, Chevrolet Cruze, and Chevrolet Volt and, unlike its predecessor, is positioned squarely in the compact segment.
The second-generation, 2018 and newer Terrain features an all-new exterior and interior, while being slightly smaller inside and out compared to the outgoing model. It also offers an all-new engine lineup and an all-new lightweight architecture that enables a weight savings of over 400 pounds compared to the first-gen model. As a result, the new Terrain gets better fuel economy while also delivering improvements in ride, handling, packaging, and safety.
The 2019 model year Terrain sees one new color, various technology updates such as the addition of full-speed Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop/Go, Front Pedestrian Braking, HD Rear Vision Camera, and HD Surround Vision, as well as the introduction of various packages, including the Terrain Black Edition.
The second-generation GMC Terrain is built by GM Mexico at the GM San Luis Potosi factory.

I do wonder what the discount would be for an outright cash purchase?
Terrain sales have been very strong due to it’s great styling. This discount sounds great but you do have to add up the total of all payments + down payment to see how much is saved off of MSRP.
A cash sale is a dream for most people. I priced a TERRAIN SLT and wanted a discount rather than the financing…………no go!
I had to finance the difference for three months at 7.5%. GM does not like cash customers and hopes that people will forget to do a pay off in three months.
The loan can be paid off the day after you sign for it. The three months delay is pure interest profit. It’s just the interest for three months without reducing the principal on the loan. With a credit score in the 830’s I was given an interest rate of 7.29%, double what I could have received from the banks. My intension was to pay cash, however I was given a $1500 credit for taking the loan from GM Financial.. I paid off the loan 8 day later.
Bob,
I was told by the dealer (in Pennsylvania) that I must make three payments before I payed off the loan.
Call up GM Financial, they general have your account set up two days after you take possession of the vehicle. Ask them for the payoff amount and send it to them through their Western Union method . Set up your online account with GM Financial and wait until it shows paid off. Call and ask for your lien release letter, have GM sent a copy to your DMV so you get a clean title to the vehicle and send a copy to your insurance co so that your policy shows you as the payee. Don’t pay for window etching and doc fees. Look at Pen DMV regs to see if you can just switch lic plates to the new vehicle and register the vehicle yourself. Check the math on your invoice and sales tax rate that’s being used. Do what’s best for you. Have the vehicle serviced at the GM dealer and follow the oil change interval.. Complain about everything and make sure the service invoice has your exact complaint. Don’t ever leave the dealer without a completed service invoice. Don’t accept the excuse, “we couldn’t find anything so we didn’t write it up.” The lemon law starts at the third documented unresolved complaint for the same item. Besides GM corporate reads these complaints and then comes up with a fix. Be nice but be firm. Find another GM dealer if you need to . Track the TSB from NSHTA so you know what the dealer knows about service issues. As a last resort call GM about the dealer, they hate it but it gets results. Look for coupons from GM, the brand, dealer, websites. Get the GM CC, and sign up for GM point program. Use Top Tier Gasoline, goggle it. Get the “shop manual” on a memory stick, $200. Read the owners manual and follow the service intervals. Read your warranty and follow its time and distance requirement. When your one mile/one day over the periods, you will pay. I paid more for my vehicle then my first house, they only difference is that I had a lawyer review everything first and accompany to the closing. That’s an ideal for my next car purchase, a lawyer. On the day of the sale check the vehicle for damage; glass, paint, tires, tire pressure, windshield wiper fluid and inside. Take it for a test drive.
Good luck and remember the dealer is not your friend.
