Thank you.

What help do you need?? Do you not have a GMS # ?? or are you having trouble getting the correct info?

[sheepdog1]

The guy never sent me the GMS #.

[BPGTim]

That is a problem. You need to get it from a GM Employee or pay the difference. No way around it

[sheepdog1]

Excellent news. He came through and it meant a $600 swing for the dealer!

Clarification:

GM Supplier is GSU

GM Employee is GMS

I have another question.

I am in the market for a GMC Yukon XL Denali.

I have a GM Supplier Discount. The Gm Supplier Discount website list a price of: Vehicle:2008 Yukon XL Denali Selected Style:AWD Denali 5SAExterior:Red Jewel Tintcoat Interior:Ebony Nuance Leather-appointed Total MSRP:*$60,255.00MSRP:$53,075.00Color & Options:$7,180.00Total MSRP:*$60,255.00Suplier Price:***$55,345.73

My Dealer is showing me a selling price of $57483.65 and then taxing me.

She stated the Advertising Charge is pre-tax. Shouldn't it be $55,345.73 plus tax and then the Advertising charge? And then take off any current incentives?

Thank you,

It should be on the line that says SUPPLR: xx,xxx.xx

That is the selling price PLUS the tax and DMV. The freight charge is included in the price. They must show you the price on the invoice once you provide the authorization number. If you want to send me the VIN by PM, I can check it for you.

Actually the advertising charge the dealer gets right from GM. It is listed under the heading of "Memo". She is playing with you! With the supplier pricing you are not responsible for advertising charges...PERIOD!!! This is just another way for her to make extra money. Tell her no!
Give her the buzzer sound and tell her "thanks for playing...Next question."

[ChebbySalesDept]

The memo amount on the invoice has NOTHING to do with a GM Supplier.

Memo and advertising are two different things. The supplier price includes all but tax, doc and DMV fees.

How did they ever get GMS out of GM Employee Discount?!?

[espo19047]

I sell to suppliers all of the time. The line where it says Supplier is your price minus rebates. It is that simple. I never have half the trouble that people on this site seem to have. Why is that?

Very good question Stan, and one I've wondered myself

Particularly when it comes to Supplier or Employee deals...it can't get any easier. Look at the invoice, bingo, there's your number, and you're done. There should be no playing or confusion.

[ChebbySalesDept]

I would just like to know the exact formula to figure out the 2% we get back on GSU deals.

Can't they (GM) put it next to the memo line???

It would be so easy that way.

I'm not going to go into the old 'Option 1 order' and 'Option 2 stock' pricing, but they were both replaced when GM set the employee discounts as fixed selling prices rather than rebate amounts to be subtracted from the selling price of the vehicle.

Option 1 became 'GMO' or GM Order. ie GM employee price for a special order vehicle. GMO was slightly lower than buying out of stock.

Option 2 became 'GMS' or GM Stock. ie GM employee price for 'out of stock' vehicles.

A few years back, GMO became the same price as GMS. Then GMO was dropped, and GMS remained to identify any GM employee discount.

That's why GMS means GM employee discount.
