Hello
On Friday, a Cleveland, OH area dealer loaned me a new '03 until tomorrow (Monday) pm to evaluate and determine if I want to buy it. It is a base 1500 with $32139 sticker price (including delivery) that they advertised for $24749 (including delivery and already deducting the $3k in GM incentives). Apparently price would have been reduced by another $750 if I was presently leasing a GM car or truck.
First, is price OK? Should I try to get a better deal. Maybe ask them to add a couple of free items onto truck such as towing receiver and rear mats? Any comments or suggestions?
Second and maybe the most important: Will I be able to tow a 3800lb car plus trailer without significant modifications. Planning to tow my other car from Cleveland, OH to Kansas City and back in July. Total weight should be a little over 5000 lbs. Manual makes reference to requiring towing suspension if over 5000 lbs.
Anyway, have to return the AV tomorrow or complete paperwork to buy.
Thanks
