If they actually did Those things those prices could be a lot worse

That TruCoat - you don't get it, you get oxidation problems. It'll cost you a heck of a lot more than $500.

The saga ends as I was able to find a dealer (surprisingly in Calgary) and gave $2K off MSRP with no bull.

The remaining 2021's which are still arriving at GM dealers have a 0% interest up to 60 months.

2022's are standard 1.99%

Post specs and/or window sticker. We love to nerd out about the packages.

I don't want to flex, but it has an Aston Martin suspension...

I've been saying dealers have been doing exactly this with every car hitting the lot. Optional add ons are no longer optional. Worst part on these add ons are how crazy expensive they are if someone doesn't do a bit of research.

My dealer for my truck quoted me $1900 for 3M that another place would only charge $700.

there was a person last week on Edmonton Reddit and GM was charging them 7k for full xpel on a 35k Vehicle.

Great buy congrats. I enjoyed my time with the ZR2 and sometimes think about picking another up as a daily. I love the colour too.

Thanks all.

There are 2 2021's I was eyeing at Jack Carter with performance cat-back exhaust installed - Sand Dune Metallic and Orange Crush in color.

[Gman.45]

We bought our ZR2 used, but the original/1st owner bought it from Jack Carter as well. If we decided to buy a new truck/suv from GM for next winter, it'll be from Jack Carter too if in any way possible.

Hey do you mind me asking who the sales person was that you dealt with at Wolfe?

Talk to Wayne Ivan, at Wolfe Calgary, 403-660-5445.

Let him know Jay sent you so he is aware.

Awesome, will do

Went in to discuss a factory order on a full size SUV and the forced dealer add-ons were almost $7k lol...hard pill to swallow. Basically was told if I don't want to pay that they won't sell me a vehicle, keep in mind it would be a factory order with 6-9 month wait not immediate delivery.
