I ended up getting a call from my dealer the thursday before Memorial day weekend. She knew I had been looking for the LBZ engine. I never thought I would see one this early but some guy traded it in with 7,000 miles. No fifth wheel and it was the color I wanted. I ended up making an unexpected purchase that Saturday. Man, what a great truck. The price listed was $38,900, but between dinking with the interest rate and what they gave me for trade in for my 1500HD, who knows what the actual payment was. I am happy with my monthly payments.

I have been looking for about 4-5 mos. Is what brought me to this site. I nearly broke down and bought a half ton last week. I got to the finance guy and we got into an argument. I told him to F off, there are a million trucks out there. Even though I was $2500 under wholesale BB. Matter of principle if you knew the story. Then, this week, a friend of a friend thing came through w/ an 06 17k mi. LT package DMax, for 30,375. Will be more after TT&License. Eveything checks out. Sometimes it pays to be patient. I put feelers out to everyone I knew, then this one was found at an auction. Get it on Wednesday...can't wait.

'06 Duramax, LT3 package fully loaded, dealer installed Nerf bars and exchanged standard mirrors to power towing mirror set + 5 yr/100000 mile extended warranty for $41,800. Sticker was $46,100. Had I not been out of town earlier in the month I would have gotten the same deal AND 0% 72 month financing. As it is I got 2.9% but that equals $3600 in interest over the term of the loan.

Well, first upgrades were window tint, Rhino lining, and B&W reversable gooseneck ball for our RV.

Still not getting top coin for my trade (06 1500HD) but getting the LBZ I want

Sticker is 46.5K and got OTD for 42.5K. Got the SLT over the SL2 for less than $500 more. Paying cash (well insured garage fire )

Now I just have to tell my wife

[foreman00081]

paid $22k for mine, 03 sierra crew cab SLE with custom 2 tone paint and brand new 285 BFG AT's and 85K miles, also, truck was owned by a guy that owned a body shop (thats who painted it) then by the dealer that i bought it from so the truck was never used to pull anything bigger than a snowmobile trailer and the guy i bought it from just put a plow on it last november and with the mild winter we had in the northeast, only plowed his small dealership 2 times. funny how i came to get this truck too: i had been looking hard for a diesel and finally ruled out the fords after driving a dmax, then i found one for like $23k in connecticut, so i was all ready to drive out there on a thursday from western NY when the dealer calls me on wednesday on lunch and says there was a mix up and the truck had already been sold before i put a deposit on it yada yada yada, so i call him a liar and tell him where to stick his truck, and as pissed as i was, got back on autotrader and found this truck in new hampshire, called the guy up, did the credit over the phone and drove the 7 hours the next day to check it out, well i immediatly fell in love with it and ended up driving it home.

Nice, I wish I could let one "appear" in my driveway, lol.

I'm new to the forum and new to Diesels. I have a '03 1500 LT XtraCab 4WD. Not enough balls to pull the jet boat well. So, I ordered a '07 2500HD w/Allison, 4WD, CC, LB, LT3, skids, tow, sunroof, XM, and about everything but the DVD. Sticker was just over $47K, price before any rebates is $41,270. It'll take 5-9 more weeks before they get it in, so I'm hoping that there will be better rebates than the $1,500 right now. Getting it from Dave Smith Motors in Kellog, ID.

Would it have been better to get that same package off the lot in a 2006 model year? I'm certainly no expert but all indications are that changes to the 2007 Diesel engine will require a different grade fuel not readily available and the performance will be less than the 2006 Duramax.

Chime in if I'm wrong. I'm also new to Diesels and chose the 2006 ahead of other budget priorities for this reason.

It depends if he gets a Classic 07 or not the Classic will be the same as our 06s, but the 07.5 will be different.

[wdlfbio]

No '06s had the options I was looking for. I waited too long. Yep, it's the classic. I did want to get it before they changed it.

We got our 03 2500hd 4 door short box for $23,500 with 89k miles.....pretty good i think...

It has the centurion package....which is premium leather with suede in the middle of the seat both lower and upper...all four seats....they are all buckets...

there is leather on the door panels....and real carbon fiber dash and door accents....it looks amazing....i dont really know how nice it is until i get into my bosses 04 1500 thats totally loaded....just regular leather and no carbon fiber and all that it just makes so much difference....his loaded truck seams like botton of the line compared to mine.....It also came with some pretty chrome wheels by centurion also....

Had brand new tires on it when we bought it....by the way the last three sets of tires i had were bridgestone and i gotta say they have outstanding traction on pavement more than any other tire ive had and they still do pretty well off road also....

When we got the truck there wasnt a scratch in the bed.....and it had 89k miles on it.....obviously it was somebodys car.......it was pratically showroom condition.....

I just love it......

Not too sure on milage....i have the edge juice...we got 17.8 mpg going from SD to AR pulling an emtpy car trailer.....and 17 mpg with a mr2 on the trailer....i thought that was pretty damn good.....used level 4 for best milage....

Sticker was $43,555. Dealer added their stuff (plus a nifty set of nerfs) and took it up to a little over $44,000.
I paid $36,500 out the door. Sounded good to me!
