Indeed you should feel honored.
only posting that though in that at the end of 2011 i picked up a late model crew cab sierra SLE with leather. sticker price was 39, after my trade in i walked out with it for 20. my note was right around 300.
the trade in on my old truck was 7k, but it was also paid off.

I have heard about them. Seems like a legit place.

They pack about 900 cars, a big shop, and a big office into a few acres

So did you do the whole negotiations over the phone/email? That would be preferable. I have this mindset on negotiating but can't put it into practice. lol

I bought a new GMC Sierra last year after a ton of shopping. I found a really good deal on a 2013 Sierra SLE crew cab at Ross Downing in Hammond. The MSRP was almost $39,000 and I got it for less than $25,000 after discounts and rebates and some negotiating. I did all the negotiating via email with a salesman. It helped to not feel pressured when I walked in. I also didn't mention my trade until I walked in to buy my truck. I had financing setup already because I knew they would want to pressure me to finance with them and I just don't trust the dealers. I let them run my credit and they asked what my interest rate was that I already had but I didn't tell them. I told them of they could beat it, I would go through their people. They came back higher at first then "tried again" and ended up getting me a lower rate than I already had. I had a 2009 Silverado crew cab before this one and there really isn't much difference between the two. Good luck.

Did all of the negotiations over the phone. When I showed up, they took my ID, gave me the keys to test drive the new truck, and when I came back they asked if wanted it still. 45 minutes later I was on the way back to BR

So I just found out I have Black Book access via our credit union. Is this of any value?
