A little birdie tell us GMC is raising its prices. Yes, raising.

GMC will announce revised 2009 model year prices effective for all Sierra and Yukon models produced on or after October 1, 2009. All model dealer discounts will be reduced. Dealer invoice amounts will increase accordingly.

Dealer price schedules will be available in GM Dealerworld under Sales &/Or F&I Tabs effective October 1, 2009. Reference administrative message (dated February 26,2004) for more information regarding this web site.

Sold order price protection eligibility dates are dictated by the customer and dealer order dates as follows:

-Customer order date must be prior to the date of the price increase.

-GM systems order date (date dealer enters in GM system) must be no more than one work day after date of the price increase.

These units will be invoiced at prices in effect at the date of production; however, the dealer open account will automatically be credited for the price increase once the unit has been delivered.

Fleet units ordered under the Bid Assistance or Cap Programs are price protected under the terms of those programs. Fleet units ordered with FVX, RFC, and VQ’s without VN9 or VX7 are order date price protected on the invoice and dealers have up to 4 work days (GM systems order date) after the day of the price increase to enter the order and the invoice will be priced before the price increase. Fleet units ordered with VN9 or VX7 are order date price protected on the invoice and dealers have up to 1 work day (GM systems order date) after the day of the price increase to enter the order and the invoice will be priced before the price increase. All other fleet orders will be price protected according to the bona fide sold retail price protection policy above. Refer to the price protection effective date on the invoice.

    It’s not 100% GM’s fault. Save some blame for our lousy politicians who are doing their best to rapidly destroy the little remaining value of the US dollar. This is the best thing that could happen to american industry, especially automotive, for 30-40 (especially the 80's) years the dollar was kept artificially overvalued as part of the cold war (Our dollar is strong, we are strong, and if we can buy everything everyone makes then they won't go commie) and just like England in 1919, that decision destroyed manufacturing through a competetive disadvantage that could only be made up by relocating (the other option, cutting cost of product, inevitably leads to cutting quality, which reduces purchases, which requires more cost cutting, etc. and we all know how that works out)

    jpcavanaugh : Excellent points- Malibu-Drove a previous version and you don't like the "look". Camaro- you prefer the heavier and less performing Dodge. (I guess it wasn't 5 years late). And you also point out a rumored trans problem that never seemed to exist. CTS- you almost give a thumbs up! You also erroneously cite resale problems for lack of a lease program (It's GMAC in case you didn't know) and of course you don't like the "look".

  • Ronin It's one thing to stay tried and true to loyal past customers; you'll ensure a stream of revenue from your installed base- maybe every several years or so.It's another to attract net-new customers, who are dazzled by so many other attractive offerings that have more cargo capacity than that high-floored 4-Runner bed, and are not so scrunched in scrunchy front seats.Like with the FJ Cruiser: don't bother to update it, thereby saving money while explaining customers like it that way, all the way into oblivion. Not recognizing some customers like to actually have right rear visibility in their SUVs.
  • MaintenanceCosts It's not a Benz or a Jag / it's a 5-0 with a rag /And I don't wanna brag / but I could never be stag
  • 3-On-The-Tree Son has a 2016 Mustang GT 5.0 and I have a 2009 C6 Corvette LS3 6spd. And on paper they are pretty close.
  • 3-On-The-Tree Same as the Land Cruiser, emissions. I have a 1985 FJ60 Land Cruiser and it’s a beast off-roading.
  • CanadaCraig I would like for this anniversary special to be a bare-bones Plain-Jane model offered in Dynasty Green and Vintage Burgundy.
