Ithink the employee has to call and get a number for you to purchase GMS. You would then give that number to the dealer at the time of signing the papers. It used to be only available to Employees, Suppliers and their immediate faimilies.
If you want to know the GMS price, just go to a dealer and tell them your Dad / Father in law is aretired GM employee. They will show you the price on the invoice sheet. You don't have to prove anything to shop. If you can't arrange with an employee, you will be armed with a damn good price to target in your negotiations... The rebates apply after the GMS price. Not part of.
I doubt you will find many dealers that will sell below GMS. Of course, if they don't show you the GMS price, you won't know if you beat it or not.
You will also find that whenselling at GMS, the dealer isn't going to give you crap for your trade in.

The dealer doesn't have to show you squat, and in many states rebates aren't part of the GMS pricing structure. And GMS pricing won't help you negotiate a non-GMS deal either. And your trade in isn't worth cr*p because the dealer spends an average of $ 1500 per vehicle in refurb costs, and that's another state-mandated safety requirement I won't go into here. If it's more than 100,000 miles or more than 10 years old, it's a "5$ car" and is off to Mexico. However, in your post, you are trying to help out a bro, and that's an admirable intention!

So, what constitutes a "deal"? Is Mack's post (3rd from top) indicative of typical savings? I mean MSRPs of 40 plus grand kinda stall the average consumer from the get go. I saw an add for a Tundra that said $8000 off, which equaled 32k! It's a vehicle, not a small house!
And of course that's about the going rate (MSRP) of any full size truck, American "labled" or not.
p.s. the Tundra looks take a little getting used to. The old version looked better.

For those of you that are closed minded about american made, let me educate you 85% of all the toyotas you see on the road are built here in the USA, Toyota employees over 200 thousand people thru the US alone. Just look at their resale vakue, which car line holds more value, more dependable,better quality. Toyota is the number one auto manufacturer in the world obviously there is a reason for that.
Turd??? bring your hemi, chevy or ford and see what happens to it against a tundra 5.7.... enuff said....
h one more thing,,, chevy,dodge and ford boys get ready for toyota's[sm=americanasmiley.gif] new dually & diesel modelscoming out.....

The toyota motor is far superior to the hemi in mine. My buddies 2WD standard cab 07 Tundra ran 14.3, which is retarded for a full-size...non-forced induction truck. I don't think Toyota ever expected to have to get into incentive and financing wars with the other trucks like they have had to.

Don't know where it was manufactured, but my Silverado was assembled in Ft Wayne, IN. Some of the best Chevy Trucks I've had came out of Canada. My Buick is from Detroit City, wherever that is.
