So I called and spoke to Evita at Chapman Chevrolet. Very nice person and helpful in answering most of my questions. This group of incentives/discounts end today (8/1), but here is what I found out:
- $1,000 College Grad - This was the only thing she wasn't clear about. She asked if I graduated in the last 2 years, and I was telling her I'm still in college going for my Bachelor's and this qualifies me for the GM College Discount which would be $1,903. She said that is supplier pricing and this $1,000 is for College Grads. If I went with supplier pricing then I wouldn't qualify for some of the other incentives. Unless they are offering something on their own, I'm not sure what this is and I couldn't get a straight answer on it.
- $1,500 GMF Down Payment Assist Offer - If you get financed through GM and put down $1,500, GM will give you $1,500 back as well. Again, not 100% clear whether it's matched and taken off the financed price or if it's a cash back incentive.
- $2,000 Chevy Trade Assist Offer - Trade in a 2006+ Chevy vehicle and you will get an additional $2,000 on top of their trade-in offer. They wouldn't do a "preliminary" trade offer over the phone with my VIN and condition so I can't tell you if they low-ball their trades to give you this "extra" $2,000.
- $1,500 Equinox Owner Loyalty - We all should know what this is - if you currently own or lease an Equinox, you get $1,500 off.
- $500 GM Card New Member Offer - If you apply for and get a approved on a new GM Credit Card, you will get $500 off your vehicle.
- $500 American Farm Bureau Member - Anyone can be an AFB member - just pay $45 and be a member for 30 days and you get $500 off your vehicle. This cannot be combined with the $1,000 Private Offers so one or the other if you happen to get a PO popup!
The above totals $7,000. There is still $2,342 missing of the $9,342 discount which she said were additional competitive discounts Chapman is giving on the vehicle. As I said, I qualify for all but the $1,500 Equinox, but I have $1,500 on the GM Card and have a $1000 PO (expires today) in place of the Farm Bureau which both make up the $1,500 in lieu of the Equinox Loyalty incentive. If they gave me close to what I'm looking for on the trade-in would I have $3,000 equity, I could potentially get this 2017 2SS 50th for $34,395.
I also asked if the GMF Down Payment Assist, Chevy Trade Assist, and new GM Card member were local, regional, or national for Chevy dealers as I had not heard of them in Florida. She said she didn't know what other Chevy dealers offer so she couldn't help answer that question.
If I knew earlier, I might have scheduled a trip to PA to do the deal. Evita will call me tomorrow to tell me what new incentives/discounts are available since all of these ended on 8/1.
