FEDEX GM Supplier discount, Co. Code?
 
Anyone know if FedEx Express is eligible for this GM supplier discount? I don't specifically see it in the long list on the www.gmsupplierdiscount.com website. This is what pops up.

Thanks,

Thanks!! Not sure why it didn't show up with FedEx Express, may be a management conspiracy... ;-)

To get the X-Plan discount you need to go to the "life care" website.

PM me if you can't find it.

I'm familiar with the Lifecare site I think, but is that a plan worth using or can you get a better deal with all the black Friday sales going on? From what I've seen you're looking at about 20% off MSRP right now on a 2014 Silverado/Sierra...

Thanks!

Flaps,

It's good to know the price from the x plan. It's a good starting point, but if you like to negotiate, you can probably do better...

X plan should be for Ford vehicles. Use the Supplier discount for the Silverado. The Supplier discount (GMU) is Invoice + $200. You might be able to do better on your own or thru USAA.

Also, Check truecar.com great web site to see what vehicles are selling for in your area....takes into account all current offers etc...

Yes --- and USAA website if you're a member

However, still negotiate a bit

In 2006, I found many Honda dealers willing to match or beat the USAA price

Additionally, in 2013 I found another local Honda dealer willing to sell $400 below the TrueCar.com price

Both are good services if you want to do little --- or zero --- negotiation, but they are still not the bottom line cheapest prices available

Thanks all, the USAA membership is worth between $750 and $1000 of the bottom price too I've found out so far.

Cheers!

USAA uses TrueCar to power its results...so do many other sites--and all the prices from all the sites are the same when using TrueCar as the underlying pricing engine.

What you get is a price below the meaningless invoice price, but still more than you would pay if you negotiated on your own. If you are not a USAA member, I would TrueCar a dealer at least 100 miles from you as you have to input your contact data. That's how TrueCar gets its money--when you buy a car they get a kickback. You then want to go to a dealer whom you didn't get TrueCar pricing from and you'll then be able to negotiate without him having to factor in the payment he has to send to them. You'll get a better price and know a target to be under.

If you're a USAA member it can make sense to TrueCar it. There are a couple of benefits. You can get a lower auto loan interest rate if you buy through their auto buying service. USAA also has some really good rebates on some vehicles that are beyond and in addition to what the manufacturer is offering. Last, even when using the USAA/TrueCar auto buying service, you don't have to take the price offered. Go back and forth with the dealer on-line and he'll drop the price more over a couple of days.
