Commercial Auto Dealers

Did you know you can still get a tax break for purchasing a GMC 2008 hybrid? Many people are flocking to their local GMC dealer to invest in a GMC 2008 vehicle because they can no longer get a tax deal for the Prius. What’s even better is that they are enjoying the wide selection and quality from the GMC 2008 hybrids on the market today.

The tax credits began in 2005 when the federal government enacted the Energy Policy Act of 2005. The purpose of the tax deduction was to encourage automakers to create more fuel-efficient vehicles. When they first began manufacturing the hybrids, they were worried that consumers wouldn’t buy them. But with the tax credits, consumers have flocked to dealer lots to take advantage of the deductions. In some cases, you can receive a deduction of up to $3,400 just for buying a hybrid!

Automakers are only allowed to sell 60,000 hybrid units before their products are no longer eligible for tax credits. GMC still has many hybrid models that offer the credits if you’re looking to buy a hybrid. Following is a list of the company’s hybrid or fuel-efficient models that still carry a credit along with how much that credit actually is:

2008 Chevrolet Malibu - $1,300
2008 Chevrolet Tahoe - $2,200
2008 GMC Yukon - $2,200
2008 Saturn Vue Green Line - $1,550
2008 Saturn Aura Green Line - $1,300

This is just another incentive to visit you local GMC dealer. In addition to getting a great deal and helping the environment, you can also get a huge deduction on your taxes!

For the last 8 months or so, sales for new truck dealers have suffered as the result of high gas prices. But could there be some good news ahead for these same new truck dealers?

Now that gas prices have started to subside a bit and drivers are getting accustomed to the idea of paying $4 a gallon, compact cars aren’t all the rage. Consumers are simply adding the price of gas into their budget and considering it another expense as it was before.

The CEO of Edmunds.com had this to say about the situation: “There’s been a rush to small cars, but that doesn’t necessarily mean the shift is permanent.” The website tracks consumer habits by monitoring the number of searches for different types of vehicles. Amazingly, interest in hybrids has dropped more than 30 percent since June. Did you ever think you’d hear something like that these days?

One of the reasons for the switch is due to new truck dealers having more stock of fuel-efficient trucks and SUVs. General Motors is one company trying to keep up with consumer demands in terms of efficiency, too. So if you’re sick of the hybrid craze and want to go back to the truck or SUV of your choice, your local GMC dealer is ready to welcome you back with open arms. Visit one today and see what’s in store for you!

Just when the sales figures for one of the world’s largest automakers looks rather bleak, GM sales should increase as the result of two exciting promotions.

The first and most exciting promotion is the GM employee pricing. That means you can go to your local GMC dealer and get your favorite 2008 model for the same price employees pay. In some instances, that’s a savings of thousands of dollars! The GM sales event comes just a couple weeks before the automaker’s 100th anniversary and it ends on September 2. That means you better hurry to a dealer today!

The other great thing happening that could increase GM sales of used cars is the new warranty for certified GM vehicles. The warranties once covered only 3,000 miles or three years, whichever came first. But the new warranty, which takes effect on September 13, covers certified GM products for 12,000 miles or 12 months from bumper-to-bumper. That gives used car buyers peace of mind that you can’t put a price on.

So get down to a GM dealer in the next few weeks and take advantage of one of these incentives. There are some exciting things going on with the automaker and you’re more than welcome to be a part of it.

When you visit your GMC new truck dealers next year, you’re going to notice something different. Currently, GMC new truck dealers have several fuel-efficient SUVs and trucks for you to choose from along with other favorites that have not been changed. But in 2009, these new truck dealers are going to get a full line of large yet efficient vehicles to add to their inventory.

General Motors is ready to introduce an efficient alternative to its largest vehicles. That means for the 2009 model year, you can expect to find redesigned and reengineered Tahoes, Silverados, Sierras, Yukons and even Cadillac Escalades with the latest in gas-saving technology.

While other car manufacturers are trying to make their cars smaller in order to be more efficient, GM is feverishly working on giving its customers what they want – bigger cars with more efficiency. I don’t know about you, but I certainly need more room than what a Prius or some other compact car offers. Otherwise, my knees would be touching my chin as I drive.

That’s one thing GM is trying to avoid. One of the world’s largest automakers is keeping the large vehicles and simply making them more fuel-efficient. Some of these models have even been equipped with hybrid technology to bring more customers to a local GMC dealer when they want size and efficiency. Hopefully the trend will continue even after the gas crisis is gone.

Although GM sales of the Hummer brand SUV have faltered due to the high gas prices, the automaker’s new concept could spark a new interest among buyers.

General Motors has a reputation of releasing limited edition vehicles for a variety of occasions. The new Black Chrome H2 is no exception. Although GM sales have been so bad that the company has considered selling off the brand, the new Black Chrome edition could produce a GM sales spurt before selling the brand to another company.

GM isn’t giving too many details about the new edition, but we can make some guesses based on the name. It’s probably going to be a sleek black H2 with all chrome accents and features. Door handles, side mirrors, hood latches and the trim around the fuel door are probably going to be accented with shiny chrome that catches your eye immediately. In addition, the Black Chrome H2 will probably have matching black leather interior with chrome accents along the dash as well.

Does this renew any interest in the Hummer? Despite its fuel economy, will you want to visit your local GMC dealer and get a Black Chrome H2? It sounds interesting to me, but I still want a Hummer regardless of its gas mileage. How about you?

While watching the USA Network’s new hit original series, In Plain Sight, I noticed the main character driving a GMC 2008 Envoy. I always enjoy seeing product placement in the shows I watch, especially when I’m a fan of the actual product. Seeing the GMC 2008 Envoy is no different.

The show follows Mary Shannon, a U.S. Marshal that puts people in the witness protection program when their lives are in danger. Most people aren’t willing to go, though, since it means giving up their entire lives as they know them, at least until the people threatening their lives are put behind bars.

In addition to that, Mary has mother issues that she must deal with on a day-to-day basis. She also has a boyfriend that plays baseball, but he is on the disabled list due to a minor injury. Mary’s sister helps take care of him by taking him to his doctor’s appointments when Mary is unable to do so because of her demanding job.

Her family is often more demanding than her job. Her partner, Marshall Mann, also adds another degree of difficulty to her life as they go from place to place in her GMC 2008 Envoy. As her polar opposite, Marshall serves as a “common sense” guide to help Mary stay in control despite the demands in her life.

If you haven’t seen it yet, the season finale is on Sunday. But you can watch full episodes here. While you’re watching, see if you can point out the GMC 2008 Envoy and figure out how much screen time it gets. It might make you want to run to your nearest GMC dealer for a great deal on one of these SUVs. You can also see why I wouldn’t mind being hidden by Mary Shannon any day, too.

With gas prices staying around $4 a gallon and no drop anytime soon, new truck dealers like GM are focusing on stocking their lots with fuel-efficient trucks and SUVs. As a matter of fact, GMC is boosting the fuel economy of its truck and SUV lineup by as much as seven percent overall by making them more streamlined and lighter.

For the Chevrolet Silverado, for instance, GMC has improved the efficiency by about one mile to the gallon. That means it will get 15 mpg when driving around the city and about 21 mpg on the highway. These trucks will have a special XFE badge (extra fuel economy) when they arrive at your local GMC dealer and other new truck dealers as soon as next quarter.

The changing focus of the new truck dealers is in response to a 23 percent decline in truck and SUV sales through July of this year. But the automaker is trying to get the new efficient trucks and SUVs on dealer lots and in showrooms “as quickly as possible,” according to GM’s chief for full-size trucks Gary White.

In addition to the Silverado, the Sierra, Tahoe, and Yukon are also getting a number of changes to make them more efficient. GM is also working hybrid versions of the Silverado and Sierra to attract more customers to new truck dealers across the nation.

While the auto market in North America seems to be dwindling, GM sales across the world are helping to keep the automaker afloat. In India, GM sales have increased by 25 percent with total unit sales of 5.706 in July compared to only 4,570 in July 2007. As a result, GM is working on expanding its network until it reaches a total of 190 sales and service points across India.

Here’s the breakdown of the GM sales in India last month:
• 3,570 Chevrolet Spark units
• 921 Chevrolet Tavera units
• 501 Chevrolet Aveo units
• 344 Chevrolet Optra units
• 370 Chevrolet Captiva units

The GM India VP had this to say about the sales figures in the nation: “Despite a lethargic market, our positive monthly sales figure is a clear signal of the success of our car lines. Chevrolet Spark has made huge inroads in the Indian small car segment.”

Although GM sales have suffered as the result of an unstable economy, you can still visit your local GMC dealer for a great deal on a car for you or your family. Check one out today and you won’t go back to the car you’re driving now!

If you’re a fan of luxury SUVs, the GMC 2008 Envoy is ideal for you. It has a number of features that you can’t find on other SUVs in its class. Here are some exciting things you can expect to find on the GMC 2008 Envoy.

• Power Sunroof
This available feature has tilt-and-slide capabilities so you can have it fully opened or just slightly opened. The sunroof also has a built-in deflector that helps keep the cabin quiet and shielded from wind noise for listening to the radio or having normal conversations with passengers.
• OnStar
The world’s most comprehensive communications system is one of the features that sets the GMC 2008 Envoy apart from the rest. With the push of a button, you can connect directly to emergency professionals of an OnStar representative for other concerns.
• Headrest DVD Screen
A DVD screen is mounted on the back of the driver’s and passenger’s side headrest. This is great if you have kids and enjoy taking long trips. Wireless headphones make it even better.
• Chrome Accents
To give your GMC 2008 Envoy that extra special touch, you can get chrome door handles that make it really noticeable. You’ll get a bunch of looks as you go down the road with these!
• Cargo Tray
Spilling the groceries on the way home is no longer a problem with the cargo tray. This molded tray has a raised lip so anything that spills won’t get into the carpet of your Envoy.

With all of these and more fun features, why not check out one of these great vehicles at your local GMC dealer? You won’t be disappointed!

Despite rising gas prices, new truck dealers can still offer great vehicles for consumers. During this time of lowered demand, new truck dealers like your local GMC dealer are offering huge incentives and rebates if you want to buy a full-size truck.

Although you can get $1,000 off of smaller vehicles through GM, you can get up to an $8,000 rebate if you want to purchase a large GM SUV, Envoy or Trailblazer. How’s that for a great deal?

According to GM Chief Operating Officer Fritz Henderson, the domestic automaker is going to continue using incentives to draw more people to the new and improved trucks that they have available at new truck dealers across the country. The incentives also help the company stay competitive.

Other companies are following GM’s example. New truck dealers are trying to compete in a market where fuel prices are driving consumers away. But with the rebates and incentives, the money you get to put back in your pocket is often worth the extra 30 or 40 cents per gallon you’re paying at the pump. And with all of the advantages of owning a truck, it’s sometimes worth the price without the incentives and rebates. Visit your local GMC dealer today and check out the prices and incentives and you may just find that it’s the right vehicle for you to purchase.
