Mr. Jones Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 Is that really 10k off MSRP new? Shit might be an investment when gas pops back up.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiji ST Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 Is that really 10k off MSRP new? Shit might be an investment when gas pops back up.. According to their Web site, you have to be a member of the Florida Farm Bureau, have a trade-in and own a GM vehicle. That's worth about $3500. I'm sure there's more incentives you have to qualify for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POS VETT Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 You can always make your offer for the price shown without having to have those 3 things. I did that with my truck; the price shown on the website is not set in stone. The worst that could happen is refusal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattKatz Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 I just took my brothers 2012 Cruze LTZ Auto to Florida and back and that's an awesome little car although it only had the little Turbo gas motor in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordell Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 The Cruze is a decent little car, but the deisel is stupid. There really isn't any reason to go with the deisel over the gas considering the eco gets better mpg and is much cheaper msrp. The Cruze deisel just isn't selling so offer some serious incentive is seriouslh needed. I personally don't care for it anyway, it sounds like a tractor and its a turd.

dragknee66 Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 Love the diesel. Drove across the country for less than $100, BOOM. 700+ miles per high 13 low 14 gallon range Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Apex Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 It's certainly possible, my landlord bought his GTO just as they had been discontinued and the dealer was desperate to get rid of them, got into it for $8k under sticker.

STEVE-O Posted February 21, 2015 Report Share Posted February 21, 2015 Would consider if you actually could find one new for 15k but low mileage 2014s still going for 18-21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drove across the country for less than $100, BOOM. 700+ miles per high 13 low 14 gallon range Damn, that's a 55-gal tank to achieve that kind of distance. I assume the whole trunk is fuel tank. That's over double the capacity than the fuel tank in my truck. Cool ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You read that wrong. 46mpg rating times 13-14 gallon tank 600+miles or more etc per tank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But either way I'm sure it was cheaper and more"rewarding" then flying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lag wagon Posted February 22, 2015 Report Share Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) Bullfuck. I drove an unloaded 3500 from Vegas to Ohio-felt like it lost 100hp at altitude. I'm not saying it's a universal truth to apply to every car and truck, because you'll have a lot of variables in there with calibration and emissions. I can't feel the difference between 27psi and 32psi (he351) on my 3500, which is the loss at 10,000 feet. Can't see the difference at the pump, either. EGTs are higher, but that truck doesn't compensate for EGT. Same experience with a 200hp VW ALH TDI through the mountains. TBH, I don't know about the Cruze, though. Haven't driven one or looked at the tune yet. Edited February 22, 2015 by lag wagon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
