Sticker for me for a base LT with portable charger and delivery was 35,300 Dealer was not offering much of a dealer based discount for that, and in fact gouged me for doc fees and a few strips of paint protectant.

35,300
-7500 fed tax
-2000 GM cash
-1250 Costco
-1250 GM "conquest" or whatever its called when you don't own a GM vehicle currently
- 500 educator discount

22,800

• 599 bull crap doc fee
• 899 totally over charge for paint protection

24,298 OTD

We pay sales tax in MO when we tag it which will add 6% or so. I prefer to always factor those out of the deal as it varies region to region.

I think the other poster with an LT with lots of nice stuff for $28000 got a better deal than I, but I got a very nice car for the $$$. I don't think there are any LT out there now that don't have money down already. I had put money down weeks ahead of time, while the vehicle was still in transit.

Ive seen them sell verified $18.5k to $23k

sadly local dealers wont negotiate

Those deals were in the past. Currently as we barrel towards the expiration date of the 7500 tax incentive, the really good deals are over.

YEP> that's why there's this 'internet' thingy.

I searched Chevy inventory out to 500 miles from me, went to dealers websites that had the vehicle I wanted, called every dealer that had one listed.

They were ALL already purchased in transit. I was bottom feeding, looking for a base LT in a couple colors my wife liked. Avoiding the other stuff, except heated steering and seats. That I would have paid a fair penny for. (once you have heated steering in an EV, I think it will be hard to go back)

You may be right that in a few days dealers will compromise on higher trims if they have several on their lot. But in a radius around Kansas City I did not see any thing close to that many EQEVs on a single dealers lot. 166 on lot is crazy and must be a coastal thing.......
