Have any of you fine gentlemen gotten more than the credit union discount? I don't expect that on ordered cars...just on cars already in the lot looking for new home?

Just wondering if that is an avenue I could explore. I'd be going with a forum dealer.

 

 

Credit Union pricing (which is the same as GM Supplier Pricing) is invoice + $200. How much more of a discount do you want?

 

Not likely unless one could qualify for an employee discount.

I cannot imagine a dealer giving a CU discount and then another $1K off just to sell a car. I do know that USAA members can qualify for another $750 off GM cars, but that discount is not applicable to Corvettes (I tried).

 

Ah. Okay. I knew the CU discount was pretty solid. I didn't realize it was THAT good.

I heard that its good till Jan 2nd. No word on an extension at the moment.

 

To be perfectly clear, if you participate in any of the buying programs, employee, supplier, credit union, military, teacher, etc. your price is fixed. The dealer can't "throw another $1000 discount" on top of the program price. All of these deals are audited and the dealer will forgo their incentive payments if all the paperwork isn't exactly as these programs specify.

It is worth noting that any factory to dealer incentives must also be included as well as factory to customer but at the present time there are no such incentives.

 

The fine print says that Cadillac vehicles expire on January 5th, I don't see any mention of expiration on other brands.

 

My CU Discount Auth says it expires on 5/2015. I have not placed my order yet.

 

Okay, something else to consider.

When you apply for a discount, it's good for 6 months. I was told by my dealer, that the discount is applied at the time of purchase, not when you order the car.

The price at the time of order is the discounted price, but the discount must still be valid at the time of delivery or you can't use it. Same applies if GM decides to pull that program (rarely done).

My dealer told me that should that happen, I could reapply for another discount number and the deal could be done. Since I went the military route, he also said should GM yank that discount (military) he would provide me with a supplier number. But just a heads up on this.

Don't apply for your discount number months before you decide to order a car. If there is a production delay or a constraint, you may find your discount is expired and your dealer may not be as obliging as mine is/was.

 

I just received email from GMCU -
"Thank you for your interest in the Credit Union Member Discount from GM.(1) The authorization number above is your key to great savings on an eligible, new Chevrolet, Buick or GMC vehicle. And now through January 5, 2015, all 2014 Cadillac vehicles are also included.

Plus, remember to combine your discount with most current offers to make a great deal even better."

 

I was told from all the dealers I inquired with that I needed to provide them with my authorization number for CU or supplier pricing first. So I went on GMCU site (you need to belong to credit union to get login) and under program, obtained an auth #. I received an instant authorization # via the site and also forwarded to my email. I received an email 5 minutes ago, reminding me of the great savings. At time of order I will also make sure that if it does change and the vehicle winds up coming in $8000 to $9000 more, that I can pass on it.
I know some dealers are giving a 8 ot 9% discount off of MSRP, which is close to the supplier discount.

 

Okay, for me, I asked the dealer if they would accept Mil discount (could have been CU or supplier too) and was told yes. I went on line and got the number and printed out the authorization.

Went in with that paper and ordered the car. Dealer looked at the paper and input my choices and we verified pricing as we went through the order process. I did the build you car online at the Military discount website. (same would apply for Supplier or Cu build your own).

After the car was ordered I was told that as long as GM kept the Mil discount in place that price would be honored. I'm sure many dealer won't even mention this as GM usually does not pull a discount program once instituted. However my dealer, in a matter of full disclosure, mentioned this.

Car arrived at dealership, I went in with my authorization (dealer kept a copy in my file also), and a copy of my retirement DD 214 and my check book. The deal was done at the agreed upon pricing.

As stated previously, dealer said he would provide supply number at the time of delivery if Mil discount was discontinued.

Soooo, the dealer needs to know you have access to discount program at the time of order as confirmation that the deal is going to go as presented. Precludes having someone come it with nothing and saying they have access to a discount program and do not. The dealer could get stuck with a car he doesn't want.

The actual discount is applied when you sign papers to buy the car and write the check and must still be in effect.

When your authorization number expires you simply get another one.

 

I got my 2015 C7 Z51 with Supplier Pricing and I felt that was a great deal since most dealers were hovering at MSRP or $1-2k below.

I'm now looking to purchase a GM SUV and I was trying to get an Employee authorization so I could also use my GM points (can't use them with Supplier pricing)... that is proving to be nearly impossible!

I know they occasionally run a promotion with "Employee Pricing For Everyone" but I haven't seen that in a while.

Has anyone been able to get an employee pricing authorization (without being an employee, retiree or an immediate family member)?

Awesome ....thanks.

 

Getting one is like finding hen's teeth. GM audits dealers for discount programs. Employee discount sales are too easy to track and find out things are not kosher.

Not sure any employee would want to jeopardize employment and the recipient would then ave to repay the discount if caught.

 

I was able to get USAA Incentive on mine
Maybe it was only after NOV 1st?

 

Dealers that accept the USAA discount ($750) with a USAA membership or account will not "stack" the USAA discount on top of the Credit Union discount, meaning you can get both. Only one or the other. The USAA discount is good for the C7 as attested by many here on the forum that got it.

The CU discount or GM Supplier discount beats the USAA discount dramatically.

The CU discount comes out to just $200 over invoice.

GM employee discount crashes everything else.

Simply find a dealer that accepts the CU discount, open an account at a approved CU and get the authorization number that last 6 months.

Place our order.

Thanks to all that have responded and have clarified the CU authorization number.

 

I had the Employee discount before the USAA incentive
Got em both

 

You have a GREAT salesperson at a great dealer. My dealer would not go for it. He called it "stacking".

What is hard for me to understand why so many dealers differ, or why the dealerships feed the bull-$hit to customers, most important why the corporate structure of GM management allows this happen.

There needs to be consistency.

Yes, GM has a hot product and is creating new Corvette customers like myself, but all customers need to be treated the same.
