Anyone here use GM Employee discount?

[CHCRandy]

I was just wondering if any of you guys use GM Friends & Family discount for buying new cars? My question is how much can you save on say a MSRP $21,000 car? I was thinking about buying a new Chevy Cruze for my wife....my Uncle is GM retiree but he was just diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and is dieing....I really hate to bother him with getting discount info.

I have heard the savings are not really that much better than normal deal on a 20K vehicle. Is it worth the hassle to try to get the discount or not?

Thanks!

Periodically, GM allows us to give our discounts to others than family members. Back in April, I was able to help an INGOer purchase a truck with my employee discount.

If you want to send me the particulars of the vehicle you're looking for (Cruze LTZ with x, y, and z packages, etc), I can look it up and see what it'd be with the employee discount.

While it's been 3 or 4 years since my family has used my GM discount, it's no trouble to get them the info needed for the discount. Usually the salesmen will assist them in getting the needed info from me. There is also an 1-800 number your uncle can call to speed up the process faster.

1-800-235-4646 is the number the employee/retiree needs to call.

This phone number is on some paperwork I have that is from 2007. I think it is still valid.
Hope this helps.

Back in 2004, the sticker on my Grand Am was around 25k, took it down to around 16k.

I got about $2k off last time I did. Easy to set up and I know I could use $2k for 5 minutes of effort. Good luck

Just figure out how much less to discount it when it's recalled.

Thanks everyone.....GodFearin got me the discounted price earlier today. Thanks again.

It depends on the profit GM makes on the vehicle.

Econo boxes like the Cruz and Sonic have pretty slim margins, so a smaller discount.

Trucks and SUV's are their cash cows, so you get a much bigger discount with them.

Pretty much it comes down to you'll have to contact a dealer to find out what the discount is.
