Any GM employees or retirees on here? Looking for a supplier discount (friends and family) this spring. PM me if you can help out this old fart.
Thanks in advance.

That has been true in the past but not lately. Supplies will stay tight for the rest of this year I expect. Even rebates are pretty much nonexistent.You can often beat supplier pricing with some negotiating... I've done with both with Ford and even employee pricing on Ram...
There is a supplier discount and a family discount two different pricing…neither can be passed onto a friend…unless you know a sneaky way around it but few employees will take that chance with their code.Any GM employees or retirees on here?

We just negotiated a trade for a new Lexus 2023…..not only was the selection just about nonexistent…there was zero discount….the only thing I could negotiate was the trade in value…..and after they came up $1,000 I hit a brick wall ….they came back with take it or leave it…. In a nice way of course….it’s tough out there right nowThat has been true in the past but not lately. Supplies will stay tight for the rest of this year I expect.

It must have changed…I haven’t bought a GM product in a while.Blue, this is from the GM Family First website.
"GM Supplier Discount for Friends is a program that allows eligible employees to extend the same discount that GM suppliers receive to cousins, friends or neighbors."
I just bought my wife a Volkswagen Atlas. There was very little wiggle room in the price. Made some headway on the trade. My wife wanted more for her trade but they offered over KBB and I got them up another $500. I didn't push too hard because the transmission needs to be rebuilt. They didn't ask me anything about the car.We just negotiated a trade for a new Lexus 2023…..not only was the selection just about nonexistent…there was zero discount….the only thing I could negotiate was the trade in value…..and after they came up $1,000 I hit a brick wall ….they came back with take it or leave it….

As a CSX retiree, we haul GM cars and get employee pricing.
But you’d have to put the title in my name.
PM me, ya I’ll get that car delivered to you. Who are you? Never heard of you.

We went to look at a Kia Telluride, but they wanted sticker plus $10K. I laughed.

I was thinking about buying an Explorer. Then my daughter bought a used Hyundai Palisade. So I looked St the Palisade.My wife likes both the big Kia and Hyundai SUV’s, moreso the Kia. But paying over sticker for any car, let alone a Kia, is nuts. Really speaks to the awful reputation Kia dealers have earned.

At 5K plus above sticker I walked out.
Careful with those "dealer network" extended warranty's. They almost always have a stringent list of maintenance requirements that if not strictly adhered to, at a shop within that "network" will void the warranty.They are nice vehicles, but I liked the Volkswagen better. It is mostly an Audi with slightly lesser interior materials. The big selling point for the Hyundai/Kia is the 10 year/100,000 mile powertrain warranty. The dealer network I bought the Atlas from gives a 10 year/200,000 mile powertrain warranty - they actually buy a service contract. So that was a no brainer. When the Kia salesman told me about the $10K premium I laughed and told him I wasn't paying $60,000 for a $40,000 car.
Compared to the Explorer it would be about $10K less for a comparably equipped vehicle.They are nice vehicles, but I liked the Volkswagen better.

Mitch, you are correct. But I compared it to the Hyundai/Kia requirements and they are pretty much the same.Careful with those "dealer network" extended warranty's.
