Hi! I am GM-S ... and currently lease a Corvette through GMAC. Does the latter qualify me for $750 or $1000 extra cash ... or perhaps that was part of your original post. Can you e-mail me some examples of pricing for a base vehicle ... or LUX?

:)

h2hummerbabe,

Does this offer apply to 2004 H2s?

Let me know. We do qualify for GMS.

Thanks!

Shawn

My understanding of GM-S (and Supplier) is that there is a set price. How can a dealer modify (lower) that deal? I do not think it is impossible.

GM-S is for employees (not supplier) ... supplier prices are about 3% higher as compared to Employee prices. That would make your Supplier deal better than an Employee deal. I might be missing something, but I don't see how that is possible, as GM re-invoices a dealer for the particular vehicle and transaction.

PLMK! :confused1

Yes, I understand about the GM Extended Family Card Rebate Earnings and the rebate ... I thought you were talking about an additional dealer discount, on top of the Supplier pricing. My goof.

With respect to being able to do a 2003 rebate on a 2004 ... be VERY careful. You can loose your GM-Supplier benefits if you do not adhere to the program (GM employees can also loose their jobs). The dealer must submit all documents back to GM for re-invoicing of the vehicle. If a dealer goofs-up on the price - the deal is bounced back by GM, and then the dealer does not get their reduced invoice refund (but, you should already have your H2 by then).

I have no vested interest in the transaction, and have no reason not to believe you or the dealer ... just the knowledge of many years as GM-S (wife is MGR for GMAC Mortgage). The GM-S price is printed on all invoices. Suppliers add 3%. You should be able to ask to see the pre-printed GM-S price. Dealers are not allowed to add any surcharges whatsoever (DOC PREP, MARKETING PROMO, UNDERCOAT, etc) to ANY GM-S transaction ... not sure about Supplier.

If you want ... I would be happy to check the GM-S (and hence, the Supplier) pricing. PLMK when your vehicle is in stock (e-mail me at SDLong329@aol.com).

<<... is already doing the deal for us so I guess I am getting a better deal over GM employee pricing on an 2004 H2.>>
---Partially my goof. If the only difference is Employee vs. Supplier ... then the Employee will get the better pricing (rebates are generic, and apply to each). However, the 2003 rebate on a 2004 is a big NO-NO, and a dealer can get into heaps of hot water ... not to mention ... loosing $ on the deal (when the funds are reversed by GM). Just because someone SAYS they are doing the deal, does not mean that the deal is done. I have had relatives purchase vehicles using GM-S ... dealer makes a pricing mistake ... and the deal gets bounced back. If you get the 2003 rebate on a 2004 - good for you ... take the deal.

<<The other dealers in my area that I spoke to tried to convince me that ... couldn't do a deal like what she is doing for us>>
---There is a reason for this.

<<What other dealers will lie and tell you just to get you to buy a car from them!!! >>
---My concern exactly ... but I am concerned for your transaction.

I can't help myself :smash being a word nit-picker :jester

LAPD always mentioned plus an additional $3,000 dealer cash back and never used the word rebate regarding the $3K back.
Steve talks about rebate applying to the $3K .

IMHO I would think if the dealer wants to give you cash back on his/her own terms towards a 2004 , having nothing to do with this supposed rebate that only applies to 2003's, then what's the problem :seeya

Perhaps that is the difference and why the deal can be done :jester

GhostRider - Thanks for your reply. I have been in communication with Shawn via e-mail on this issue.

I think, initially, I misunderstood the $3,000 cash back ... as opposed to it being a rebate. Yes, Factory rebates are fine. However, under the GM-S (employee), or GM Supplier program, a dealer CANNOT variate from the program whatsoever ... including ... the modification of ANY financial terms (up or down), including additional rebates or refunds. As a further example ... the dealer can't even give you a coupon book for free car washes, etc (at least, technically, anyway ... but, who would know about the car wash situation). My point was, any GM Employee or Supplier transation must be reviewed by GM ... and can and will be bounced back if a financial error is made.

Nothing wrong with being a nit-picker ... these programs require that we dot all of the I's, and cross all of the T's. If we happen to cross an I, and dot a T ... that would be bad, and the deal would be bounced back.

<<IMHO I would think if the dealer wants to give you cash back on his/her own terms towards a 2004 , having nothing to do with this supposed rebate that only applies to 2003's, then what's the problem>>
---Exactly, as it would violate the GM Supplier program.

I am hopeful, and confident that Shawn can and will get his H2. Now, the only thing I have to determine, is how the heck am I going to get a ride in that H2 ... being that I am East Coast!?

Thanks for the explanation :seeya
Even though I'm not involved in the conversation, sometimes I can't help myself and have to add my 2 cents.

Good luck getting the best deal you can :thumbs
