  • Well, I think they are being "honest". Definately those trucks are "Under 30K" ... (pounds!).

    :h Have you seen Tesla's online sales pitch? It is exactly the same thing. Or are you referring to the internet quote that most dealers use now?
  • That looks like online pricing to me. I don't see why online car buying is any different than offline. They still want the most they can get out of their vehicle while giving you the least for yours.

    And, sorry, but I want to see what I'm getting for my money. Does the phrase "Pig in a Poke" ring a bell?

    And Tesla was big in online pricing with that $35,000 Model 3 that took a long time to finally show up. Seems like they said it would be $35,000, but surprise, "We just don't have any at that price, perhaps one of these much more expensive ones will work". Sounds a lot like "Bait and Switch" to me.

  • My local Chevy dealership is offering Crew Cab Silverados for about 29k.

    They are 2wd 4.3 models with chrome appearance packages AND you have to qualify for all of the discounts but they are pretty affordable right now.

    But a HD CC 4x4. Naa, not under 30k. Closer to 40k. Lol
  • Well, to be honest they don't say the trucks are under 30,000 dollars, maybe they're referring to the mileage. :)
