Howard,

I am getting ready to move from my 2500 to a 3500 and my dealer can't find one anywhere in Texas. I can order a 2004 but lose the rebates. Any thoughts on where I should go next? Dealer says he has a hard time getting outof state dealers to swap because of the transport issue. I'm looking for a GMC SLT 4WD with a lot of the goodies.

Thanks for any insight you might offer.

Regards,
Bob

Last night I saw a 4X4 3500 CC 4X4 SLT at Ernie Guzzman(not sure if I spelled that right) in Houston. Beck and Masten drove my truck in from La. so I don't see why yours can't get a truck from a neighboring state. Tell them "well I reckon I'll venture somewhere else if you don't want to sell me a truck." I bet they just want to order a 2004 from them.

Send DAVID McDAVID (http://www.mcdavid.com/index.asp) and email and see if they have one in Dallas or can get you one. They are good to deal with.

HI BOB & you might want to look under:
http://www.gmbuypower.com/app/gmbp/main_path/start.do I tried your zip code but you can try others as well! The dealer in Utah sounds like a good deal? Good luck! Howard :D :D :D

Bob,

How about a Black/Charcoal Leather Chevy 3500 LT Crew Cab Short bed 4WD D-Max/Allison? Has everything but the rear DVD player. I drove this at a local dealer last week. If intrested, I can will confirm that they still have it. My email is in my profile, or respond here & we can get in touch.

Thanx,
Aggie 91

I didn't think a 3500 had a short bed option.

Thanks guys,

David : checking with Guzzman
TxDoc: McDavid is searching
Howard: what zip code did you use in Utah?
Aggie: Any color in Texas but BLACK
Hoot: They don't
Still looking. I have purchased 6 trucks from my dealer and he seems to be looking hard too. There just aren't many around loaded the way I want one.

Thanks to all,
Bob

BOB, how about Mi.?? Use zip code 48348 or 48423. There are 5 trucks total. All are 3500 4wd D/A SLT. Howard :D :D :D

Who would think you couldn't find a decent 3500 within 1000 miles!! Had three dealers looking. Found a few all decked out with conversion CRA# for $2500 to $3500 more.

Finally bit the bullet and ordered a 3500 2004 model yesterday. Got what I wanted, get the rebates if they are still there in 8 -10 weeks when she comes in or get her for $500 over invoice. That makes it similar in price to '03s with the rebates.

Howard: Do you still have any pull on ordered trucks?

Thanks for all the input.

Looking forward to the 3500 experience after 2 1/2 great years in the 2500.

Bob,
Valley Sales, Lakeville, MN 55124

3500 4x4 GMC, SLT, Dmax, Alli, CC, White, 48355.00

Deal direct on Orbitz it's $281.00 one-way airfare from San Antonio to Mpls. The dealer is 20 minute from the airport right off I-35. Fly in, cab to dealer, 30 minutes max if they're good, head to the interstate, turn left, and set the cruise for Texas!!!

I bought my truck without ever seeing the dealer until the day I picked it up.

I'd even pick you up at the airport if you can close a deal.

Howard,

What do you need from me to enter into this quest?

Thanks,

Bob, all I need is a S.O.N.(Sales order number) & a T.P.W. (Targeted - called that cause it keeps moving-Production Week) Do you want me to drive up there when the time comes & do my famous inspection? That is where I kick the l/h front fender & sign your owner's manual? E-mail me with your # so we can talk about it! Howard = howard_m18@yahoo.com :D :D :D
