Ranking October's Deals

October Deals

Edit: Deals are out of date.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.

Costco Auto Program
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

10 out of 10

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

9 out of 10

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. 

Market Adjusted Prices

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

9 out of 10

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

8 out of 10

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

7 out of 10

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

6 out of 10

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.

Can't find New Vehicles – Time To Place an Order

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

Heated Seats See Limited Production

General Motors is removing heated seats, ventilated seats, and heated steering wheels from various crossover and pickup models. That includes numerous Chevrolet vehicles, including the Blazer, Colorado, Equinox, Silverado 1500, Silverado HD, Trailblazer, and Traverse. The availability of the features depends on the model and trim level. Not all models and trims are affected equally. I will give you two guesses about the reason for the feature removal, and I bet it will only take you one. If you guessed microchip shortages due to supply issues, then give yourself a big pat on the back. more For those who may have missed it, the microchip shortage is forcing General Motors to reduce features across its lineup. The feature deletion is set to go into effect today, November 15th, while the deletion of the heated steering wheel feature will go into effect for specific vehicles on November 22nd. For now, it’s uncertain when the parts will be available, with the latest expectation that the feature reduction will remain in place through the remainder of the 2022 model year. We don't know when Chevrolet will produce these vehicles with heated seats again, it entirely depends on microchip supply. Credit or Delayed Delivery Options Affected vehicles may include a credit ranging between $50 and $500. Models affected by the heated seat issue are going to be retrofitted when the parts come in. If you are buying a vehicle with Heated Seats, you will buy the vehicle and when parts are available (ETA sometime in Q2 of 2022) we will retrofit your vehicle. There will be no cost to you and the process will be similar to getting a recall completed. When you purchase a car eligible for the retrofit you will be asked to sign a form acknowledging the heated seat function will be made available at a later date. Vehicles will retain non-functioning heated seat switches that will not work until the process is complete. The retrofitting process is only available for heated/ventilated seats and does not impact heated steering wheels at this time. Customers will receive a $50 credit from GM for the inconvenience. Heated front seats are the most heavily impacted feature, followed by ventilated front seats and heated steering wheels. The availability of heated outboard rear seats is also affected. You should also note that while some models may continue to offer a heated steering wheel, the automatic activation feature has been removed. Here is a complete overview of the Chevrolet models affected by the deletion of heated seats, ventilated seats, and heated steering wheels as of November 15th production. Model Affected Trim Levels Affected Units Heated Front Seats Ventilated Front Seats Heated Outboard Rear Seats Heated Steering Wheel Chevrolet Blazer 2LT, 3LT, RS, Premier Some units X Chevrolet Blazer RS, Premier Some units X X X 1 Chevrolet Colorado LT, Z71, ZR2 All units X Chevrolet Colorado LT All units X Chevrolet Equinox LT, RS, Premier Some units X Chevrolet Equinox Premier Some units X X Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Limited LT, RST, LT Trail Boss, LTZ, High Country Some units X X Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Limited LTZ, High Country All units X 2 Chevrolet Silverado HD LT, LTZ Some units X Chevrolet Silverado HD LTZ Some units X Chevrolet Silverado HD LTZ, High Country Some units X 3 Chevrolet Trailblazer LT, Activ, RS Some units X Chevrolet Traverse LT Cloth, LT Leather, RS, Premier Some units X Chevrolet Traverse Premier Some units X Chevrolet Traverse Premier, High Country Some units X X – Feature made unavailable as of November 15 production 1 – Heated steering wheel still available, but automatic activation feature removed 2 – Feature unavailable since beginning of 2022 model year production 3 – Feature unavailable since late July 2021 production
