How do you get a good deal on a new truck?

Posted by T.C. in Tx on January 03, 2013 at 17:26:42 from (108.78.175.47):

My truck is 12 years old and getting tired from hauling tractors and hay and whatever. Anyway I am going to be needing to replace it with a new model.

I will be looking for a 2013 or 2014 Chev 4x4 with a diesel engine and crew cab.

I just hate going into a dealership and getting swarmed by the sales guys. Then when you deal with them they allways disappear to "take the offer to the manager". None seem to be able to give a straight answer. After the 4th trip or so, then you kind of get down to a bottom line. But even then, you just have that "I've been had feeling" knowing you probably didn't really get a good deal.

So, my question is how to do this right and get the best price? The best advice I got from internet sources seems to be to use the "invoice price" as a kind of benchmark and hopefully buy one there or maybe below. On the current truck I went to the commercial sales unit at a local large dealer and ordered the truck at invoice cost. No hassle.

How do you do it? What are the tricks to getting a really good deal? I already checked the normal incentives from GM and apparently only the $500 discount from GM and another $500 from Farm Bureau is all I can qualify for.

Financing will already be in place when I go so for the dealer it will be a cash deal with no trade.

Help! All ideas appreciated. Thanks.
