GMID Certificate Needed

[BigRob]

GMS is the employee discount. It is given to employees and immediate family.

GM IN THE DRIVEWAY (GMID) is the discount used for friends and family.

GMS is the bigger discount.

In Oct. when I bought mine dealer would barely come down from MSRP after several days back and forth. Got ahold of a GMID certificate/number and walked back in with a set price. Mine stickered 39.5K and with the certificate I got for almost 4K less. I did get the dealer to throw in a couple of gas cards too.

ENJOY!!!

The way I understand it is the truth about it is infront of you. You got the GMID discount (slightly above invoice). The one below invoice is the GMS. The only way to get this is to work for GM or be a relative of someone who works there. This is what f5fstop has been saying all along. Still though, saving close to 4k is Great! whether it is 1% above or below. forget about trying to get more, use what you've got, it's better than nothing.

Re-post of a re-post of something I posted a few months ago.
GM Supplier Vehicle Purchase Program (SVPP) allows active employees of an eligible GM supplier to receive a discount that is approximately 2% above invoice.


GMID or GM In the Driveway, is a program GM started a year ago that allows any GM employee (salary or hourly) to obtain two authorization numbers per month for anyone to purchase a GM vehicle. The authorization number cannot be given to anyone who is eligible for the actual GM employee discount.



GM employees are eligible for two different types of discounts:

GM New Vehicle & Company-Owned Vehicle Purchase Programs (NVPP & COVPP)

The COVPP (Company Owned Vehicle Purchase Program) allows active, retired, employees on disability or approved absence (for a period of 12 months) to purchase a new GM driven company car at a large discount that depends on the mileage of the vehicle. (Good example is a few years ago, I purchased a 2003 Corvette with 2900 miles for 35K, and it had a sticker of about 49K.) Spouses and surviving spouses are also eligible for this program.

NVPP (New Vehicle Purchase Program...AKA GMS) allows GM employees, and the following sponsored family members: spouses, surviving spouses, children, siblings (including full/half and step), in-laws (father/mother/brother/sister) and grandchildren; to obtain a GM vehicle at approximately 2% below invoice.

One reason this is called GMS is years ago, GM offered GMO and GMS to their employees. GMO had a greater discount, but it had to be ordered; therefore, it was called GMO, "O" for ordered. The other program at that time was GMS, and it allowed GM employees to purchase a vehicle that was in dealer stock, but the discount was not as good as GMO. The "S" stood for Stock.
A few years ago, GM did away with the GMO and consolidated it what was called GMS.
Dealers and employees still refer to it as GMS, even though it is really known as NVPP.
Some people also started referring to the GM supplier discount as GMS, but that is really incorrect.

SVPP (supplier discount), GMID, and GMS are up to the dealer to accept. They can refuse to sell to anyone on these discounts since the do not make as big of a profit on these vehicles, and in some cases they have been paying floor plan interest on a vehicle a supplier or employee wants to purchase.

Some dealers will accept GMID or supplier discounts but not employee discounts since the dealer makes more money on the supplier and GMID than they do on the employee discount.

The company owned vehicle purchase program can be refused by a dealer too; however, a dealer is foolish to do so, since the dealer is never charged for the vehicle, and the dealer makes 5% of the MSRP for handling the transaction. All the dealer is required to do is pick the car up (if out of state, the employee has to pay the shipping charges), wash the vehicle, and hopefully, change the oil.

Now, are we all confused?

One example of “other discounts” would be the regional incentives. Click here to see the current regional incentives. Unfortunately, there are no current Hummer H3 incentives, but keep checking back (updated at least one time a month—believe it is on the fifth of each month).

Another example is the DVD rear Entertainment System offering—$299 a smoking price anywhere!

Hope this helped.

It does help. Thanks.

f5fstop, thanks! That clears up A LOT of things!

Here is one more for you on this subject if you don't mind!? I have read on a few other sites that when a Dealership honors / accepts a GMID and sells the vehicle at the GMID price that they get reimbursed by GM for that deal since they had the potential of making a lot more on the vehicle if it were sold to someone that was not eligible for the discount. If this is true, can you post details on how that works? Is it a certain %, a flat $ amount, etc etc </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Dealer told me to find a retired hourly GM worker and have him/her sign for the "in the driveway" discount(GMID?) and I'll save another grand. I wonder if they have to be a family member? If not, anyone care to sign for me? you'll get a friend for life.

[Chaugar]

Yeah, but just imagine all the people.....who didn't know about the GMID discount or couldn't get one. They had to just depend on their bargaining skills. And it's hard to bargain, when you want the vehicle and the dealer isn't budging.

I saved over 4k with the GMID Certificate. The dealer wasn't making any deals on the car at time - Monday - and were really surprised when I pulled out the Certificate number.

[Mike E]

just sent you a PM.

And just for the record, GMID price is below invoice on an H3, according the factory invoices of every H3 on our lot.
