Follow on Google News | Is Your Best Chevrolet Quote, The Best Chevrolet Quote?The Best Chevy Quotes... are these quotes the "Best Chevy Quotes"? Or, are they the old "hook line and sinker"? You be the judge!
By: Trevor T. Trenton III When I began to make my inquiries to the dealers and or lead provides, that's when the fun started. Many dealers and or services went as far to guarantee the best price. Now, this is where the confusion began for me. It's my understanding that General Motors sets the price and not the dealers so how can one dealer advertise lower prices than other dealers (if we're comparing apples to apples)? I've found many dealers and services offering X amount under the preferred price. Hum, there must be a catch! There is, it's not compatible with the GM discount. However, you could save $198 If you do not qualify for the GM discount. But they don't tell you this until you're in the showroom. This is a bit misleading, dealers neglect to advertise that this is not compatible with the GM discount. However, if I don't qualify for the GM discount then this is not a bad program. On the other hand, if you are in a dealers showroom because of this program and qualify for the GM discount then you could have visited the dealer that was 35 miles closer to home. Sort of feels like the old" Hook line and Sinker". Forget about price, if you're comparing apples to apples, GM's price should be the same no matter where you shop. What about service and receiving what you requested, all in a timely manor? How about, a compete and comprehensive quote? These are all the things that make up a great Chevy quote to me, wouldn't you say? Forget the bait and switch or the old hook line and sinker. Here's an idea, give the customer a speedy quote, including all fees associated with the purchase without any hiddens costs or fees to be discovered at the time of delivery, is that possible? Well, it is! One dealer shocked me. Take a look. When requesting quotes, I ask for an out the door price on a new 2011 Silverado Crew Cab 4WD with the Hybrid option. I also mentioned that I was paying cash and qualified for the GM discount. Here's what one dealer (Hank Graff Chevrolet) sent me. "Aaron, Thank you for the opportunity to serve you and thank you for your patience. What do you think of this weather? It's another nice day! Here's the scoop, your quote is based on current incentives from GM and Hank Graff Davison as of today's date (04/10/2011) Aaron, just click on each link below for more details.

Everything is there and some tools were provided to assist me in my decision. Most dealers sent an autoresponder, or if a person responded it looked something like this. "Hello Aaron, Thank you for your request on the 2011 Chevrolet Silverado. We are pleased that you have considered us to assist you and your family with your present and future automotive needs.

Not too bad but the next 3 emails were encouraging me to stop in the dealership so that they can give me accurate figures. In summary, If it seems to good to be true then it probably is.
