The frustration of finding a new Chevrolet in the model and trim you want is hard for many of you. And then, finding suitable options and colors gets even more challenging. Finally, finding a dealer that will offer a reasonable price even if you find the vehicle you want is difficult and potentially strike three. Rather than wait and keep trying month after month, perhaps it is time to consider ordering the vehicle you want. Let's walk through some Chevrolet models, and we will give you some considerations on ordering them and tell you where they are made. First, the MSRP of the vehicle is subject to change if you want to reserve one that is on order but not ordered specifically in your name. If Chevrolet increases the MSRP before the vehicle is built and invoiced to us, it gets the new MSRP even if it was ordered before the price change. On the other hand, if we order the vehicle in your name (this is also called a sold order), the MSRP is locked from the date of the order. Secondly, when we place an order with your exact build, the time it takes to get built is compressed as Chevrolet will place a higher priority on sold orders. Another advantage of sold orders is the ability to get your rebates in the current month protected for when the vehicle lands. So rebates like Conquest, Costco, customer cash, etc. can be locked in. And the great part of it is that if the rebates are better when the vehicle gets here, you can use those rebates instead! This rebate protection program runs through 1/31/22, and it has been going for a while, but the program is month to month at the discretion of Chevrolet. We, unfortunately, cannot lock in finance terms or incentives. more Chevrolet encourages dealers to sell more vehicles by rewarding them with more allocation to build new units. Basically, if you sell more, you earn more. That is why we continue to be aggressive on price and offer our customers a transparent sales process. We know that this shortage isn't forever, and our aggressive pricing strategy is a long-term strategy to earn more new vehicles. CAMARO We have lots of Camaros on the way, but all of them are sold. The good news is that we should see strong replenishments within the next month (February or March). As one of the nation's top sellers of ZL1 Camaros, we will have a larger allocation than most. That means getting your order in with us will lead to you getting your Camaro before someone who reserves theirs from another dealership. A great alternative option is the 1LZ, otherwise known as the LT1 trim. That is an 8-cylinder Camaro without many bells and whistles but has an excellent price. Sold order pricing through 2/28/22 is $250 off MSRP before applying rebates. This vehicle is made in Michigan, so it shouldn't take long to get to us once built. Shop On Order Camaros EQUINOX If you want a neat-looking Equinox, the new RS trim is sharp. We have several of these coming. But, if you want an LS, LT, or Premier, those can be ordered. Unfortunately, Chevrolet has reduced manufacturing of those trims, and nationwide supply is abysmal. Sold order pricing through 2/28/22 is $2,000 off MSRP before applying rebates. These are made both in Canada and Mexico, and they are pretty quick to get to us once built. Over the past year or two, the biggest issue has been Chevrolet diverting microchips to more profitable models and limiting the production of the Equinox. This year, we hope that Chevrolet solves that problem, and Equinox should see greater availability. Shop On Order Equinox BLAZER Blazer has been another victim of chip supply issues. These are built in Mexico and get to us quickly once built. Like the Equinox, we offer $2,000 off MSRP for sold order pricing before applying any rebates. Shop On Order Blazers SILVERADO, SUBURBAN, AND TAHOE Silverado HD, especially crew cabs, is an area where we can order exceptional numbers. We are massive volume sellers of HDs. Likewise, we sell high volumes of the Silverado 1500 crew cabs. And we are far and away the top-selling Tahoe dealer in Alabama and rank in the top 1% of all Chevrolet dealers nationwide. The Tahoe and Suburban are made in Arlington, TX, and they have a short turnaround from manufacture date to delivery. The Silverado HDs are made in Oshawa, Canada, and Flint, MI, while the Silverado LDs are made in Mexico, Fort Wayne, IN, and soon in Oshawa, Canada. So they don't take too long to get to us at regular times. Silverado HDs Silverado 1500s Tahoes Suburbans COLORADO We anticipate some decent Colorado quantity to order over the next two months, so reach out to us on ordering these. The national supply of Colorados is limited, so ordering is a good option. Additionally, they are made near St Louis, MO, in Wentzville and have a very fast turnaround. Shop On Order Colorados TRAVERSE Traverse has been a victim of the chip crisis, as the quantity built has not kept up with demand. These are made in Lansing, MI, and like the Colorado arrive quickly once built. We do have the allocation for sold orders, so reach out to us to order one. Shop On Order Traverses TRAILBLAZER AND TRAX Like all of Chevrolet's lower profit vehicles, the Trailblazer and Trax have been victims of reduced production. As a result, we cannot place an order for a customer and only get what Chevrolet allows us. Unlike other vehicles, where we can specifically build what we want, the units are made in South Korea and only what Chevrolet has available parts for. They are shipped by boat to ports in the United States, and then we get them sent to us. You can reach out to us about what you are looking for, and we can monitor what is being built to see if it is a match. On Order Trailblazer On Order Trax SPARK The Spark is also built in South Korea, but these have not been allocated to dealers in months. The Spark is not a higher priority for Chevrolet given its low profitability for GM. It will be discontinued after the 2022 model year. We expect to get some allocation before production is terminated, so if you are interested, let us know quickly. Learn More About The Spark MALIBU If you have been shopping for a Malibu recently, you know how hard they are to find. The Kansas City plant that builds them has been mostly idle during the pandemic and has recently started ramping back up. Supply is coming back in light quantities, so if you want one, reach out to us. Shop On Order Malibu BOLT EV/EUV We have lots of these on order, but we are still waiting on production to get started with the battery recall consuming so much capacity on batteries. Still, let us know if you have a specific order, you would like, and we can be on the watch for the ability to order it. Shop Bolt EVs Shop Bolt EUVs

Chevrolet has some significant changes planned for the 2022 Silverado 1500. If you haven't seen the update, I encourage you to click the link above to see the new interior for LT and above trims. In this blog, I am going to discuss the truck's upcoming powerplant lineup. Overall, the 2022 Silverado engine lineup has four engines, three of which are gas, and the fourth is a turbo-diesel Duramax. more 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Engine Lineup Engine 2.7L Turbo I4 5.3L V8 6.2L V8 3.0L I6 RPO Code L3B L84 L87 LM2 Aspiration Turbo Atmospheric Atmospheric Turbo Fuel Type Gasoline Gasoline Gasoline Diesel Configuration DOHC OHV OHV DOHC Transmission 8-speed automatic 10-speed automatic 10-speed automatic 10-speed automatic Drivetrain 2WD/4WD 2WD/4WD 4WD 2WD/4WD Power (hp @ rpm) 310 @ 5,600 355 @ 5,600 420 @ 5,600 277 @ 3,750 Torque (lb-ft @ rpm) 420 @ 3,000 383 @ 4,100 460 @ 4,100 460 @ 1,500 Fuel Management AFM DFM DFM - Max Towing Capacity (pounds) 9,500 11,200 13,300 13,300 Availability Work Truck S A - - Custom S - - - Custom Trail Boss S - A - LT S A - A RST S 1 A 2 A - LT Trail Boss - S A A ZR2 - - S - LTZ - S A A High Country - S A A 1. Standard on RST Double Cab 2. Standard on RST Crew Cab - Source GM Authority All four powerplants were available on the 2019- 2021 Silverado 1500 s. However, the turbocharged 2.7-liter engine receives a significant upgrade that showcases its higher torque. In addition, all engines are paired with either GM's 8-speed automatic or the 10-speed automatic transmissions. Look at the chart above. You should notice some engine pairings are no longer allowed. For example, the 2022 Custom Silverado can no longer be equipped with the 5.3L V8. However, the Custom Trail Boss gained the option to add the 6.2L V8. Likewise, the LT cannot have the 6.2L V8 but gained access to the 3.0L Duramax. We have orders for most of these combinations and can guide you through navigating these changes. Check out our on order page or give us a call to see what is on the way. Turbocharged 2.7L I4 L3B High Output For those familiar with the 2019-2021 version of this engine, you will know that it managed 310 horsepower and 348 pound-feet of torque. The 2022 version has seen an upgrade. It can now deliver 420 pound-feet of torque, has a more rigid cylinder block casting, and a stiffer crankshaft. "The new 2.7L Turbo is a technological marvel, with our most advanced valvetrain," said Tom Sutter, chief engineer for the 2.7L Turbo. "With a broad, flat torque curve and quick throttle response, it punches above its weight, delivering surprising performance and efficiency." GM says that the high output of the 2.7L outperforms any base engine in its class and has a maximum trailering rating of 9,600 pounds. The 2.7L is paired with the 8-speed automatic, which has also seen some tweaks. GM thinks the pair will offer smoother shifting, along with quicker downshifts, for a greater feeling of refinement and power on demand. 5.3L V8 L84 EcoTec3 The 5.3L is the busiest of all of GM's engines. It can be found in the Tahoe, Suburban, Yukon, Yukon XL, Escalade, Escalade ESV, and the Silverado and Sierra. The current 5.3L was launched in the 2019 Silverado 1500 and introduced Dynamic Fuel Management (DFM) to the market. While the smallest V8 GM produces, the naturally aspirated engine manages 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque. The 5.3L is paired with the 10-speed automatic transmission. 6.2L V8 L87 EcoTec3 The 6.2L gasoline engine is the largest gas engine produced by GM. It delivers 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque. Just like the 5.3L engine, it also has DFM. It is also the only engine choice available for the all-new 2022 Silverado ZR2 that debuted with the refreshed 2022 Silverado. The 6.2L will always be paired with the Hydra-Matic 10-speed automatic transmission. 3.0L I6 LM2 Turbo-Diesel Duramax The 3.0L Duramax engine is used in full-sized half-ton pickup trucks and SUVs. Lovingly nicknamed the baby Duramax the engine was introduced on the 2019 Silverado 1500. Rated at 277 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, it has the highest torque rating of any Silverado engine. The copious amounts of low-end torque make this engine ideal for towing duties. Yet, somehow the engine also managed impressive fuel economy. While official numbers are not out for the 2022 yet, the 3.0L Duramax earned 27 mpg highway and 21 mpg city when equipped on the 2021 Suburban. The 3.0L Duramax is paired with the same 10-speed transmission as the 6.2L.

We have over 300 vehicles that have been ordered and are in line for production. That just means that the vehicle has not been produced yet, but will be soon. During this time of extreme inventory shortages, you are best served by dealerships that are committed to selling a vehicle at a fair price. Not all dealerships are created equal. We have over 300 vehicles in line for production, most do not. The reason is simple – we are continuing to sell vehicles at attractive pricing, and GM rewards us with more inventory. NOTE: This inventory is IN ADDITION to the inventory built and showing on our website listings – click here to see those units. more Here is a breakdown of our on-order vehicles as of 10-12-21. 15 Blazer 9 Camaro 63 Silverado HDs Crew Cab 4 Silverado HDs Double Cab 4 Silverado HDs Regular Cab 100 Silverado 1500 Crew Cab 16 Colorado 21 Equinox 9 Suburban 61 Tahoe 10 Traverse 3 Trax 7 Trailblazer If you don't know how to shop our On Order Vehicles, here is a blog post explaining how it works.

E dit: Deals are out of date. See updated deal rankings by following this link. Due to the ongoing supply issues in manufacturing creating too few vehicles in the market, Chevrolet has backed off on its incentives, so getting a good deal will depend on choosing a dealer who wants to move inventory. The good news is you are at the right place. more Costco Auto Program - Save an additional $1,000 if you are a member. Let me start this month off by promoting Costco. If you are a current Costco member - your membership had to start before September 30th - you qualify for an additional $1,000 on all but a few Chevrolet vehicles. I hate that I have to do this but be aware of how a dealer can take advantage of the Costco incentive. Our prices are set and on our website long before you ever interact with us. That means when you tell us you are a Costco member, we give you the extra $1,000, and you go home happy. Some dealers, who do not operate on a fixed price, could change their selling price to capture additional profit. If you are working with a dealer that does not have a set price, I recommend getting a sales proposal before letting them know you are a Costco member. We will be from a decent amount to a little below MSRP on multiple vehicles while many competitors are over MSRP by a lot. There is no catch. We are a high-volume dealer who can afford to offer a good deal because we get adequate inventory. We wrote a blog post on pricing and MSRP. Click here to read more. We want to stay at MSRP and below as long as the market or supply issues don't deteriorate to the point we believe we have to change. Now on to the deal rankings! Quick tip to help you read this. We give our customers all available incentives and our Donohoo discount to provide you with our best price. So when you see something say $5,000 off MSRP, that is usually a mix of Chevrolet incentives and our additional discount. Silverado 1500 - Shop Inventory – Shop On Order We are offering 2021 Chevrolet Silverado Trail Bosses at up to $5,000 off MSRP. This is a ridiculously good deal compared to what is out there. For example, some dealers are charging over $9,000 ABOVE MSRP on their Trail Bosses. With us, you save up to $5,000 and can save an additional $1,000 for a total of $6,000 if you are a Costco member. These things sell right when they arrive, so I suggest shopping from our On-Order page. You can reserve a vehicle that is on the way. Tahoe and Suburban - Shop Inventory – Shop On Order Our Tahoe and Suburban inventory are set at $100 off plus the potential Costco $1,000. That might not sound like a lot, but some dealers ask for over $7,500 ABOVE MSRP. Look at this screenshot. I won't say which dealer it is, but you can get an idea of what to watch for. We expect the inventory shortage to continue well into 2022. So if you are in the market for a Tahoe or Suburban, shop our On-Order page to make sure you get the one you want. Silverado 2500HD and 3500HD - Shop Inventory – Shop On Order Like everything else on this list so far, this is a good deal by relativity. I have seen dealers asking for over $7,500 ABOVE MSRP on their HD inventory. Our $100 off with an option to increase it to $1,100 off with Costco is the best deal around. Camaro - Shop Inventory – Shop On Order Chevrolet has dramatically reduced the number of Camaros they have built in the last couple of years, which is great for resale value. As a result, used Camaro prices are solid, and that helps with purchasing a new Camaro. Given the market, $250 off MSRP is a good value for a Camaro. Colorado - Shop On Order Check out the on-order Colorados here. Unfortunately, we don't have any units on the ground, but we have a number on order. You can order from us or shop around. As long as you don't pay above MSRP for a Colorado, you should be ok. The Colorado holds its value well used. Traverse, Blazer, Trailblazer, Equinox, Malibu, and Trax – Shop Blazer/Traverse On Order – Shop Equinox/Trailblazer On Order – Shop Trax On Order – Shop Malibu On Order Like last month, rebates are NOT very high, but inventory is meager. It is a seller's market. The plus side is that the used market value for these is high, but no one knows if that will be transitory. Be thorough shopping for these vehicles to make sure you get the best deal available. We expect used car prices to stay high, at least for the next few years. So with that in mind, as long as you don't pay outrageous market-adjusted prices, you should be ok to buy right now. But, unfortunately, we know most people don't have the luxury to wait over a year to buy their next vehicle.

Edit: Deals are out of date. See updated deal rankings by following this link. September deals are about what you would expect from a company struggling to keep up with demand due to a crippled supply chain. However, that doesn't mean there aren't some good deals. We will walk you through this month's sales. Quick tip to help you read this. We give our customers all available incentives and our Donohoo discount to provide you with our best price. So when you see something say $5,000 off MSRP, that is usually a mix of Chevrolet incentives and our additional discount. more There is an unusual incentive this month offering a $1,000 accessory allowance. We don't think this is a great incentive. You have to give up $500 customer cash (meaning your final price goes up $500) to qualify. You must spend at least $1,000 on accessories, and not all accessories qualify. The allowance doesn't cover labor or tax. We think the customer cash is what most people should choose unless there is an accessory you have to have that costs over $1,000. The Tahoe, Suburban, Silverado 1500, Heavy Duty, and Colorado qualify for the accessory allowance. Silverado 1500 - Shop Inventory - Shop On Order We are offering 2021 Chevrolet Silverado Trail Bosses at up to $6,000 off MSRP. In this market, that kind of deal is almost impossible to find anywhere else. So why are we doing this? Well, they are for sale at $48,605 and have an MSRP of $54,605. What is a little unusual about these Trail Bosses is they have cloth interiors. So if you are looking for a truck with a cloth interior, you better jump on these deals before they are gone. If you want leather, we can install it for an additional $1,500. Shopping for Trail Bosses can be confusing. Check out our shopping guide here. Tahoe and Suburban - Shop Inventory - Shop On Order The large SUV market continues to be one rife with shortages. However, our price of $600 off MSRP is one of the best around. Please read our blog about why dealers are adjusting their prices above MSRP to learn more. Also, if you see a Tahoe or Suburban online or on order, please let us know as soon as possible. These vehicles won't last long. We are finally getting some with the Luxury Package, check out our blog to learn more. Silverado 2500HD and 3500HD - Shop Inventory - Shop On Order Like the Tahoe and Suburban, our $600 off price tag makes this month's sale very strong. There is a national shortage of trucks, and we have a decent number in stock or on order. We still expect inventory to be tight for a long time to come, so if you see what you want, please jump on it. Camaro - Shop Inventory - Shop On Order Chevrolet has dramatically reduced the number of Camaros they have built in the last couple of years, which is great for resale value. As a result, used Camaro prices are solid, and that helps with purchasing a new Camaro. Given the market, $250 off MSRP is a good value for a Camaro. Colorado - Shop On Order Check out the on-order Colorados here. Unfortunately, we don't have any units on the ground, but we have a number on order. You can order from us or shop around. As long as you don't pay above MSRP for a Colorado, you should be ok. The Colorado holds its value well used. Traverse, Blazer, Trailblazer, Equinox, Malibu, and Trax - Shop Blazer/Traverse On Order - Shop Equinox/Trailblazer On Order - Shop Trax On Order - Shop Malibu On Order Like last month, rebates are NOT very high, but inventory is ridiculously low. It is a seller's market. The plus side is that the used market value for these is high, but no one knows if that will be transitory. Be thorough shopping for these vehicles to make sure you get the best deal available. It would be best if you made certain resale value doesn't hamper you years down the road.

This post wrote about the Tahoe and Suburban vehicles lacking fancy technology features was true about a month ago. However, with the 2022 Tahoe and Suburban ordering opening up, Chevrolet has, at least for now, lifted some of the tight restrictions surrounding the LT, RST, and Z71 models. The Luxury Package is a big one. The Luxury Package* option is needed to get an array of safety features, HD surrounds vision, power-folding third-row seats, and more. Unfortunately, ordering this was not possible for several months due to chip shortages, so there are virtually no Luxury Package Tahoe/Suburban vehicles out there to buy. GM also tightly constrained the Premier and High Country packages, though some have leaked out of the factory. The Premier and High Country trim levels are still pretty tightly constrained upon opening for 2022 models. more *Luxury Package options include: Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert Rear Cross-Traffic Alert Front and Rear Park Assist HD Surround Vision; Rear Pedestrian Alert Memory settings for the power driver seat, outside mirrors, and power tilt, and telescoping steering column Outside heated power-adjustable, power-folding, and driver-side auto-dimming mirrors with integrated turn signal indicators Power tilt and telescopic steering column Automatic heated steering wheel Second-row outboard heated seats Second-row power-release 60/40 split-folding bench seats Third-row power 60/40 split-folding bench seats Z71 Off-Road Package The Z71 Off-Road Package** is another popular package with some people who could not be ordered for many months, and it is now back and available. It includes multiple packages together. Notable Changes to the 2022 Tahoe/Suburban Front and Rear Park Assist and Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning are now standard, so you do not need to get Luxury Package to get those options. Standard equipment is Buckle to Drive. It prevents the vehicle from being shifted out of park until the driver seat belt is fastened, times out after 20 seconds, and encourages seat belt use, which can be turned on and off in Settings or Teen Driver menu. The Driver Information Center on LT, RST, Z71, Premier, and High Country is now a 12 inch diagonal multi-color digital display that includes analog speedometer and tachometer gauges. That replaces the 4.2-inch display on all but the High Country and Premier, which had an 8-inch display. On the Z71, you can now get a 6.2L engine with the Off-Road Performance Package. That does require the Z71 Off-Road Package to get the 6.2L engine. In the RST, you can also get a 6.2L engine, but it requires the Sport Performance Package that has Magnetic Ride Control. The 6.2L engine can be added as a standalone option on the Premier, and on the High Country, a 6.2L engine is standard as it was last year. There is a new option for Reverse Automatic Braking on the Premier and High Country, included with the Enhanced Display and Alert package. Say goodbye to Shadow Gray Metallic and Graywood Metallic. Say hello to Auburn Metallic, Dark Ash Metallic, and Evergreen Gray Metallic. The 22-inch wheel options have been changed up, so you will need to check them out once you see them on Chevrolet.com. Pricing on 2022 Tahoe/Suburban The LS, Premier, and High Country trim had MSRP price increases ranging from $100-300 on the base trim. The LT, RST, and Z71 all had MSRP price increases ranging from $800-900 on the base trim. But, if you are shopping for a new Tahoe/Suburban, buying a current 2021 versus a new 2022 is probably a wash. The rebates have been zero for a few months, and in September 2021, it is $500 on a 2021 as part of the Accessories program. Whatever you lose on price The LS, Premier, and High Country trim had MSRP price increases ranging from $100-300 on the base trim. The LT, RST, and Z71 all had MSRP price increases ranging from $800-900 on the base trim. But, if you are shopping for a new Tahoe/Suburban, buying a current 2021 versus a new 2022 is probably a wash. The rebates have been zero for a few months, and in September 2021, it is $500 on a 2021 as part of the Accessories program. Whatever you lose on price from the price increase and lost rebates will be made up on the resale value of having a 2022 instead of a 2021. So, these price increases are not too alarming for someone looking to keep the price down, given the slim rebates on offer. Advantage of a Sold Order With Tahoe/Suburban vehicles getting bought so quickly upon landing or getting deposits while in transit, a customer’s choice becomes super slim. You may end up waiting just as long to find one on the lot as you could wait to get an order in right away. Additionally, if you order with us, we can lock in the pricing on a 2022 if GM institutes another price increase. They upped the price once in 2021 on a 2021 Tahoe and given inflationary issues, another price increase in 2022 sooner than the one in 2021 wouldn’t surprise us. But, if the order does not get in before the price increase, the price cannot be locked. Seek the Dealer with Lots to Order – the Tahoe King! In 2019 we finished 14th in the United States in retail Tahoe sales amongst all Chevrolet dealers and have continued on since. We outsell the rest of the state of Alabama’s dealers by a lot. Therefore, we earn lots to build. For the start of the 2022 year, we are already filling orders waiting on Luxury Package from 2021, but we anticipate additional orders being available. Check out the orders we haven’t allocated to customers either on order or in transit by going to this link. On that link, you will see a contact us form where you can provide the details on the type of build you want for your 2022 Tahoe or Suburban. If you would like to read more about the Z71 Tahoe, check out one of our staff’s blog entries about his experience owning a Z71 Tahoe. We think the Z71 is an incredibly sharp-looking trim, but the RST is a close second with a great look itself.

Edit: This post is out of date. See updated deal rankings by following this link. August's deals are sizzling...if you compare them to their used counterparts. It is rare in the auto industry to say that a new vehicle offers a better value proposition than their used counterparts, but this August, that statement is true - at least for Chevy. Quick tip to help you read this. We give our customers all available incentives and our Donohoo discount to provide you with our best price. So when you see something say $5,000 off MSRP, that is usually a mix of Chevrolet incentives and our additional discount. more Silverado 1500 - View Inventory We are offering 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 at up to $6,000 off for purchasing customers. To put that in perspective, we have seen used Silverado 1500s going for above MSRP at the wholesale auction with 20,000 miles on them. The craziness on used Silverado 1500s is softening some, but these trucks have traditionally held value really well, and that will mitigate some of the slimmer rebates on offer from Chevrolet. Our really strong pricing offering is the high country at $6,000 off MSRP. We start the month with a handful of them, and we expect they will go quickly. We have a tremendous selection of Trail Bosses. A recent search within 250 miles of our store found we have about 15% of the trail bosses available. That distance covers Atlanta, Nashville, Birmingham, Huntsville, Chattanooga, Knoxville, Montgomery, and Tuscaloosa. The custom Trail Boss is an incredible value at its MSRP levels. We believe Chevrolet has priced the MSRP a little too low on that trim level. We are selling that vehicle for $2,750 below MSRP including Chevrolet rebates. The LT Trail Boss has a few more creature comforts, and we have those priced at $5,000 below MSRP – an outstanding value in today’s market. Click here to see our Trail Boss Shopping Guide. BOLT EUV and BOLT EV - View Inventory The 2022 BOLT EV and BOLT EUV are both listed for "MSRP," but in reality, we are offering them at $2,000 off MSRP. Chevrolet is particularly aggressive on lease deals this month, so check out our leasing pricing here. The deal on purchasing a Bolt isn’t quite as favorable, but we’ve done our best to make the price attractive given the incentive support from Chevrolet. Tahoe and Suburban - View Inventory The 2021 Tahoe and Suburban market is a weird one. Like the truck market, used Tahoes and Suburbans are going for well above MSRP at the auction. So our discount of $250 off MSRP is excellent compared to our competition. We know this doesn't make much sense, but that is the market we are in with these inventory and chip shortages. We don't expect prices to get much better until later 2022, so if you find the Tahoe or Suburban you are looking for, we suggest you jump on it. Silverado 2500HD and 3500HD - View Inventory Like the Tahoe and Suburban, the HDs are a great buy because of the market. Used trucks are selling at ridiculous prices, so buying one of our new ones at $250 off can save you thousands. Inventory will be tight for a long time to come, and our selection is better than most. If you see what you are looking for, be sure to jump on it. Traverse, Blazer, Trailblazer, and Equinox - View Inventory We have plenty of these on order, but a really limited number on the ground. The rebates aren’t particularly high on these, so you aren’t in an advantageous position shopping for these. It is a seller’s market. The plus side is that the used market value for these is high as well, but no one knows if that will be transitory. Camaro - View Inventory Chevrolet has greatly reduced the number of Camaros they have built in the last couple of years, and that is great for resale value. Used Camaro prices are very strong, and that helps with purchasing a new Camaro. Given the market, $250 off MSRP is a good value for a Camaro. Colorado – View Inventory Check out the on-order Colorados here. We are offering $1500 off MSRP, and given how well a Colorado holds its value used, that is a decent buy in today’s market. Malibu, Trax – View Inventory The rebates are poor, and the availability is poor as well. Neither of these vehicles traditionally performs that well on depreciation as used. We have some on order – you can see the Trax here, and the Malibu here. We would be happy to reserve them for you. Spark – View Inventory We only have one to start the month, but a rebate of $1000 on a vehicle in this price point is not bad in today’s market for less expensive vehicles.

Where are the Tahoe/Suburbans with the Fancy Technology Features? One of the popular packages to add to a Tahoe/Suburban is the Luxury Package* (see at the bottom of the page the options included). This can be added to the RST, LT, and Z71 trims. This is a technology-oriented package with lots of features that, unfortunately, given today’s supply chain environment, use a lot of microchips. Because of a massive microchip shortage, the ability to build and order Tahoe/Suburbans with this package has been severely curtailed for the past several months. Additionally, the Premier and High Country come standard with most of the features of the Luxury Package, so the ability to build those likewise has been curtailed. To make matters worse, the vast majority of buyers like the second row to have bucket seats, or captain’s chairs, as opposed to a bench seat. In the RST trim, the second row could not be bucket seats without also have the Luxury Package. As a result, if you have searched our website for new Tahoe/Suburbans over the last few months, you have noticed lots of LT and Z71 trims without Luxury Package but with second-row bucket seats. The good news is that some level of Luxury Package and Premier or High Country ordering has opened up with an improvement in the supply of microchips, but not a lot. That means fewer Tahoe/Suburbans with these tech features. I know our hope is that we will see improvement in the ability to order the tech stuff in the 2022 model year. more So with no luxury package, are these vehicles selling? They are selling, and that is why you find so little out there to buy. Most are pre-sold before they land at dealerships. These are great vehicles even without the Luxury Package. In a 2020 model year, the luxury package was required to get a push-button start – now it is standard on all models. The ride quality is greatly improved, and some of the special new trim levels have been separated as trims as opposed to option packages in the 2020 model year. The RST trim has great-looking wheels and red stitching on the interior seats. The Z71 has a fantastic-looking front end. This is early August 2021, and over the past few months, we have seen 21 Tahoe prices for used ones with thousands of miles bring significant amounts over MSRP at the auctions. Will 21 Tahoe values continue to hold strong over the next few years as you own them? Can’t say for sure. But in the current environment, our discount of $250 from MSRP delivers good value compared to market values in the wholesale market. How is availability looking? You can look at our orders outstanding by clicking this link, and it will provide some details on options available on vehicles we have on order. We do have some Premier, High Country, and Luxury Package RST trim vehicles available if you want those tech options. You can reach out to us to reserve the vehicle for you with a deposit. At the end of the list will be our Suburban and Tahoe vehicles that are built and either on the ground or on the way. While our supply on the ground and in transit is limited, we have tremendous supply to get built at the factory, so be sure to look at those for your needs as well. We were the 14 th largest retail seller of Tahoe in the United States for Chevy in 2019. Because of our large volume of sales, we get plentiful ordering opportunities. Reach out to us about getting your desired build specifically ordered for you. *Luxury Package options include: Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning; Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert; Rear Cross Traffic Alert; Front and Rear Park Assist; HD Surround Vision; Rear Pedestrian Alert; Memory settings for the power driver seat, outside mirrors and power tilt and telescoping steering column; Outside heated power-adjustable, power-folding and driver-side auto-dimming mirrors with integrated turn signal indicators; Power tilt and telescopic steering column; Automatic heated steering wheel; Second-row outboard heated seats; Second-row power-release 60/40 split-folding bench seats; Third-row power 60/40 split-folding bench seats
