I just configured this unit

2015 1SS 34,500
Auto 1295
Nav 495
Audio Package 495
RS Package 1350
DFC 995
MSRP: $38,135

No floor mats, no backup camera...

Here is a 2015 2SS with the exact same options

2015 2SS 38,300
Auto 1295
Nav 495
Audio Package std
RS Package 1350
DFC 995
MSRP: $41,440

so you're telling me that a current 2SS auto with Nav and RS that lists for 41,440 will only be 42,090 in a 2016 model?

I'll still stick to my original estimate and say the 2SS equipped similar will set you back about 45k... so many other options and upgrades to consider that are added into the 16 from the 15.

What I think BigShow1960 is trying to say is that his "initial payment" was payment in full on his [used] 2014. (Kindly correct me if I'm wrong.)

In other words, financially astute buyers purchase late-model (1-2 year-old) used cars, rather than take the new-vehicle depreciation hit. And they pay cash for them, rather than financing them and losing all of that money to interest charges.

Once I saw how much I was spending on "financial services" (translation: the interest portion of each and every car payment), I stopped financing my car purchases, and switched to the practice of saving up and paying cash. Nothing is more satisfying than writing the check and driving out in the new (to you) vehicle without a payment coupon book.

As for dealer fees and charges, I always negotiate bottom-line pricing: "Here's my trade-in, here's the vehicle I want to buy, and here's the amount I want to write on my check. You figure out how much you're selling the car for, how much you're giving me for my trade, and how much of the difference goes to pay for the vehicle; salesperson commission; taxes; fees and charges; and how much is left as dealer profit."

(I love the new Gen 6 convertible, but I'm willing to wait until 2017/18 to buy a clean used one.)

[BigShow1960]

Mostly correct. Cash for a new 2014 at a stellar price.

[mr02Z/28]

Gotcha, car is paid off already, the way you stated it appeared to me that you aren't paying on it at all, like as in a monthly car payment ....

Paying off early, or up front is awesome. Making that last payment is a good feeling. I paid off my 2010 2-3 years ahead of schedule, and with the money I made on selling my 2010, + some cash on top of that I shouldn't have payments for a real long time on the 2016.

But the point is this: CU Pricing is no longer the same as Supplier Pricing.

Since the CU pricing is not longer the same as Supplier pricing, do you think they will allow you to combine the $750 with other discounts such as the college graduate discount? I just realized that the stuff i want is only available on the 2ss and i want as many discounts as i can get to keep it on budget.

[laborsmith]

Not sure we know but likely yes.

Program Pricing is not really discount pricing and college graduate and credit union is. I know that seems contradictory but think about it.

For those with the regular GM Card, it appears you can combine those points with the credit union discount.
