well we already negotiated the price, but that was on last weekends rebates...they are less now. Im hoping GM adds some incentives for the big shopping this weekend, but I guess if not, we will have to negotiate again?

Red tag is on 07s only. The 6.0 option made it the most difficult. After that probably the LT1 interior. I hate the LTZ, so that was out. I don't really like the console either, but had the right LT2 truck been available, I probably would have bought it.
Ultimately I wanted an LT1 with leather, 6.0, and the LT1 Prefferred Option Package. Lonestar had one on the lot, but it was a burgundy on tan Z71. Not my favorite color combo and I didnt want the Z71 suspension. So I got exactly what I wanted, but with 3xx miles instead of 10. Salesman called at 745p to tell me it was in town. It was storming and late, so I told him first thing Fri morning (come on incentives!!!!) so I could properly inspect it in the daylight.
I went over the purchase order and its by no means a signed contract, basically just an order form for them to go get the truck, so Im assuming I will be renogiating price either way.

Got the truck this morning (dealer received the truck late on Wed night). All went well. Dealer honored the original sales price even though the rebates are less today. Very happy with the purchase.

08 Rado Crew Cab 2wd Vmax. Victory Red, Ebony leather. 1LT with the Convenience package, 6disc, pwr dr seat, EZ tailgate, and Max Trailering.
Allgo....how do you like those Generals? I will be putting 20s on the truck soon and I like the specs on those tires. Im in Houston, so I don't care about snow traction.
