Hi Guys,
quick question as I intend going shopping tomorrow ;-)
Did you pay full price for your H3 or how much did you get off (in $ and/or %) and where?
Thx for your input.

They didn't discount the mrsp for us, but they did pay $1500 over KKB for my trade in. You might want to try that approach

Thx for the hint!
As I am in the US since a week, I do not have a car to trade in.
Btw, until today I always was jumping between Dodge RAM, Durango and Magnum, and since this morning when my spouse figured hey it would be cool to have a Hummer I went to a dealer and liked it.
I want the H3 although it is 10k more than the actual Dodge (Magnum) I thought (this morning at 8) I would go for, but I do not want to be too much of a fool paying list price while everybody gets family and whatsoever discounts (unfortuantelly not for the H3).

<span class="ev_code_BLUE">Yes that would be correct. Only GM employees get GMS on 2006 vehicles... well for right now anyways.  </span> |

I just wanted to clarify for everyone else reading -- you wouldn't believe the calls we get and the posts asking about GMS for H3s. Its a pretty sweet deal if you can get it. |

There does seem to be some confusion about GM Supplier Discount, GM In the Driveway (GMID) and GM employee discount (GMS). Probably due to the "S" after GM.
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.
Either of these two discounts can be used on the vehicles excluded from the employee pricing offer that GM is currently running. These excluded vehicles are:
2005 Corvettes
2005 GTOs
All Medium Trucks
Any vehicle other than a 2005 (that is why the H3 is excluded, it is a 2006 model year).
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 2001 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?

This should be a required read for all potential Hummer owners...and it should be added that Sewell will always honor GMS and GM Supplier discounts to those who qualify.  |

I started out on the Edmunds forums and came across a GM employee handing out the GMID discounts. I got one of those and used it on my purchase.
It was great when I picked up my H3...
Sales guy, "How did you get that price on the H3? That is the lowest I've seen it go for."

So GMID is allowed on the H3. Is this correct? For some reason I thought it was (also on the corvette), but that seems to contradict the write-up above.

If you mean my write up, read again:
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.
Either of these two discounts can be used on the vehicles excluded from the employee pricing offer that GM is currently running. These excluded vehicles are:
2005 Corvettes
2005 GTOs
All Medium Trucks
Any vehicle other than a 2005 (that is why the H3 is excluded, it is a 2006 model year).
In other words, yes the GMID and supplier discount program CAN be used on the purchase of a Corvette, GTO and Hummer H3, etc. Major problem is a dealer has to accept the discount and whether they do or not is their perogative.
GMS (NVPP) can also be used on a H3 (or Corvette or GTO), if a dealer will accept the discount.

Thus I am not sure why yours was discounted only $3,000. Although it might depend more on my optional equipment which is discounted more than the base unit discount is.  </span> |
