Underseat container

[turbowind]

Hi Guys !
I read the posts under the parts forum and liked what I read about the storage system advertised under the proffesional truck series...Our dealer figured out how to order the container and ordered it...He just called me back and said the box is $1067 ! did I still want it ?...I guess the guys whom got this part for under $100 got a deal !, if anyone knows if this price is right, or knows where get one cheaper, please let me know !

On Maverick's web page at http://www.picturetrail.com/maverick2 look at the underseat container pictures and see a great box. He said it was $37.00 at the dealer. He gives the part number from the label on the site.

I tried the parts numbers listed with several dealers and online with GM Accessories and the numbers came up invalid. Do you have any updated numbers? Or, a dealer's phone number who has successfully ordered?

I ordered the container from the same dealer as Maverick. Paid $38.88. Went to the other GM dealer last Thursday and inquired about the part and the counterman cou;ld not find it in the computer. He called the GM parts hotline(via telephone) entered the number and was quoted a dealer price of $575.44. It is supposed to be available in mid June. Also checked with a dealer in Oklahoma late April and was quoted $48 + shipping. Same time frame availability.

I used the part number off of Mavericks lable and the part was available June10th..., retail is now $1067 seems to be a price increase of late !!

Dealer reply:
"The storage box you are inquiring about is part of a current GMC promotion,
where dealers are basicly giving the box away. (You have to buy a truck to
get it.) P/N 15083315 has been replaced by P/N 15705440 there is currently
no stock available in the parts chain, however they expect stock 6/10/02.
Also there is no list price available, dealer cost + 10% is $633.13 which is
what I would be willing to sell it for + tax if you are in CA + shipping &
handling. Let us know if you are interested."

Picked up my storage box today ( was ordered in April) Paid $84.00Cdn and was still listed in the computer at $84.00Cdn. The parts guys were so impressed with the unit both of them placed an order for themselves. Not sure if anyone has tried ordering through a Canadian dealer and pay to have it shipped to your address in the States. Of course there is the added cost of shipping however paying over $1000.00US for this unit is outrageous. :D :D :D

We got our underseat storage box last week. I was informed also that they were no longer available at that price, and they could not get another for anyone, (did I want to sell it?). My total cost, tax in, was $72can.
Sometimes you just have to get a great deal!

Tony Chevrolet in Alaska called and said the new boxes are now $600+ and Garber Chevy in MI also are $575 now.

I think I got the last box in the country under $500. I had to pay $150 bucks for it, about $50 more than its worth, but strangely enough I'm happy to get it. My wife even paid for it without a whimper.

Well, I almost got one for $65.00 From Portola Motors in Watsonville, CA two weeks ago. My local GMC dealer didn't have one but gave me the number of Portola so I called them. Talked to JJ and he said he had one and it would be $65.00, I said "OK, please UPS it". Eight days later no "container" on my doorstep so I called JJ back and he said there had been a price increase ($600+). He said he they had probably sold ten at the original price and had two in stock . Said he would check with his parts manager and call me if it shipped but nothing a week later. Rats!
