I got $3500 rebate and $3500 off the sticker along with $3000 down payment. I traded in a 06 LT3 ext cab Silverado which wasn't in there trade in books and I told them Kelly Blue Book and NADA had the truck trade in value and what they were using Auction value wasn't going to work with me. You were losing $3000+ in trade in value. I nailed them on this truck knowing I was going to loose $7000 on the GM crap. My wife and I went in to buy 2 vehicles getting rid of both GM products. That was the leverage if both weren't sweet then no sale. The Prius was very good and we were ahead the car so that help sweetened the deal for the truck. Not to mention the lifetime warranty on both. Battery replacement on the Prius is over $4000. Not to mention what the price for the tranny on the Crewmax being a 6 speed sealed tranny.
