That only means the value of used trucks will take even a deeper dive into the toilet.

According to most of the posts on this site, DC dealers are glad to sell the CTD below invoice,if GMC matches the ctd in price they will sell a lot of trucks and I'll probably be one of them.

I think the employee discount thing is just another ploy to get you in, and I bet if you have a trade in you are in trouble.

I am to understand that GM started this because of all of the zero% financing for the last few years on so many different cars for very long terms, I believe they were going as long as 60 months.
Now GM realizes that not many people are going to give up their zero% financing to trade up vehicles every few years, therefore GM had to come up with a new sales scheme.
Example: My Brother Jim, bought a Chevy 1500 gasser new in 2000, for 34,000$
He prices a truck with the same options (loaded) this year, and was quoted by the same dealer 32,750$, that is with the employee discount, something smells fishy.
My best friend bought a new chevy gasser in Redding CA, for 23,400, granted it wasn't loaded to the hilt, but it was still a nice truck (for a chevy).
I think GM is getting a little nervous, I think in my opinion that they are trying to bring sales back up, and all their years of selling over priced pickups has come back to bite them, and I think Ford is next, THIS IS JUST MY OPINION.
