So there are 31 SS S/C's in Arizona. I could drive to any one of them. Out of those 31 ONE has the G85 Performance Package and Sunroof. It is also the only one that this dealership has. They will not give it up for GMS pricing. I am emailing them now asking why, but they want to sell above sticker.

What should I do? Can another dealership with like 5 Cobalts send them one of theirs for a trade so that I can get the GMS price for the lone one at the other dealership? This is really annoying and frustrating for having waited this long for a Cobalt and be denied the GMS pricing. I just got the coupon from my friend right before the employee pricing for everybody event. Should I call GM? GRRR....

 

Not sure they can deny you that. Maybe there is some way to notify GM of this.

 

Call Chevrolet Customer Service. It is my understanding that a dealer has a choice to opt in or out of the GMS for Everyone program, but once in must offer it for every eligible vehicle. This is not usual. What is usual is a dealer can pick what vehicle can go for GMS. Another difference is if you have GMCard 5% points. These can be included in the deal, where normally only the points earned on the GMCard 1% can be used. There is a reason the Corvette has been excluded from the GMS for Everyone program. Although I believe I am right, and my study of the info on the GM website supports my belief, please get back if Chevrolet Customer Service says otherwise. -- laborsmith

 

This is annoying. Does anybody know the number to the Chevrolet Cusomer Service? I'll look for it, and I emailed GM and they never got back to me.

 

For info on current offers call 1-800-950-2438
Also: chevy.com may have the specific information
I recall reading on one of the GM sites.

I'm from Metro Detroit where news reports say 60% of
vehicles were already delivered on employee plans
before the GMS for Everyone came into being. So we
here are pretty used to the concept.

I just saw that commerical here is STL. It says particpating dealers. I dont know maybe they just doesnt want to do it. Ask them if could use it on the Vette.

 

Yep....They can deny GMS if they want. Its purely up to the dealer...and no go on the corvette...

 

oh but they look so much better than the older ones

 

Are they selling their other vehicles for GMS? If so then they are supposed to be selling everything for GMS. It was a "All in or All out" program from what they said on the Dealer Broadcast. If you can do without a sunroof there is a black one here without an owner yet.

 

The dealer tried to pull the no GMS thing on me. I said thank you have a nice day and got up like I was going to leave, they stopped me and ended up giving me the car at GMS. Anyway go in the dealer and talk to them about it. If they know you're serious they'll work with you, you just have to haggle a little bit.

 

What dealership was it Vendian? I might have been turned down by the same one. I wasnt aware it was the only one with G85 though.

 

Just for ***** and giggles i went to the dealer about an hour ago and they had an SS in and told them that i wanted to buy it and they sat down and started to explain the car to me, although i already know about it being i have one being delivered tomorrow, but anyway they denied me the GMS price even being a GM employee, so it doesnt matter who you are they are going to deny you the GMS price unless they need to sell the car. They told me that they could put an order in for an 06, but couldnt sell their only one off the lot. They might try to tell you that, but the time your car gets here it will not be eligable for the GMS pricing. Just thought i would inform you all that even a GM employee cant go buy one off the lot at GMS price.

 

What you need to do is tell them to stop screwin you over and tryin to make a killing.... GM is working it so that the Discount is just like any other deal for the dealerships so they are making as much money off of it this month as they did last... just go there and tell them you want the deal or your coming back with your lawyer

 

Ken Fichtner on the Corvette Forum has posted a link to the specific memo sent to the dealers regarding the June 1 GMS for Everyone Plan. Type in Corvette Forums in your search engine, make your selection, then select Ken's Weekly Newsletter from the drop down menu, then select the June 1 titled thread, and you will find the hyperlink to the memorandum. As with all GM Incentive Memos, it is detailed and sometimes difficult to follow, but it clearly states once one car has been sold under the program all eligible vehicles must be sold under the program. Hope this helps. -- laborsmith

 

duh! the car was "sold" and they have a "deposit" on it but the guy is gonna cancel on july 6th!!! duh!!!! i wouldn't sell a hot "RARE" car like the cobalt ss either with this program.

 

very much so agreed....but even i cant deny the taunting thought of a 35k used z06...yumm

 

I thought it was all in or all out as well. It's annoying cause they are a participating dealer. Maybe I'll do what you said and go in there and just get up to leave and get them to give me GMS.

 

That's the thing with dealers, you have to be willing to get up and walk out at any moment. I had gone to a local dealer about 2 weeks ago and I won't say their name.. cough...Paddock Chevrolet..cough... and I was absolutely serious about getting the SS and I heard the salesman saying to his sales manager on the phone that I wasn't serious. So I said thanks for your time.. got up.. went to another dealer.. West Herr Chevrolet and it was the most pleasant experience ever. Didn't have a black Cobalt SS on the lot but they found one for me in Pittsburgh and brought it back. That's garbage that they won't give you GMS pricing. I've seen GM TV commercials saying it's on all their vehicles. Go to another dealer who will take care of you and see if they can get the car you want from the crappy dealer.

 

hey vendian......go to chevy.com and fill otu all the info for the cobalt ss and where it says the everybody price...
print it out.

then find the dealers name on the website.....its under search for vehicle.
print that out

take it down there....tell them you talked to the regional rep show them the info. if they dont give it to you.

calmly say that you are gonna call her back on let them know what the dealer said. And its gonna grealty affect there credibility.



i know this cause my mom did it and the dealership has since not gotten one new cool car....i.ie vette and what not_______________________________________________ __________________________________________________



Plan B..get the vin go to a differnet dealer that is affiliated with them and they will get the car for you from a diff dealer.

i.e. Van gettign something from Brown and Brown

 

It's all good boys...I GOT THE BABY AT GMS!! I'll explain all the details in another thread.
