Does anyone work for GM???

16 years ago

I am trying despertely to find someone who works for General Motors.

We have bought a new ton truck and a man was going to give us a employee discount and now that the truck has came in he has backed out and I know no one else around here to get this employee discount from. Any suggestions will be deeply appreciated.

Yep, about one in four ; )

What's the problem? That should have been finalized already. If not, the deals off. You don't have to buy it.

Offer invoice, maybe a couple hundred over. Bought our '98 Dodge using chryslers' employee discount formerly known as the green sheet program. Got it for invoice, no haggling. The no haggling was the real advantage. Others were getting the vehicle for the same price or close too it. They just had to fight for hours to get it is all. GM is probably similar but I don't know.

I would imagine your friend realized that he could possibly lose his job if he got a GMS discount for someone who isn't eligible for it. Seems like a good reason to back out. On the other hand it shouldn't have been offered in the first place. So I am thinking that you gave them a deposit and now they have you over a barrel. If not walk away.

Good Luck

I looked at Raven and had to set it aside as it was too cool for what I was looking for, so it might be just right for you!

Hi - it's taking you down to "post a new message," BUUUUT directly above the new message part (look up then over to the center in the screen) is where the search box is... so really, it's redirecting you to the bottom of the page where the search input box lives, which happens to be just above the "post a new message" area. You have the choice to search just this forum or to search all of GW. Hope that helps!

Does anyone work with Minwax Stain?
Q
Comments (8)
Looking at a color chart is virtually certain *not* to give you the color you expect. Testing, including all sanding and finishing steps is the only way to come close, and even then the success rate isn't great. No matter the product employed it's not easy. I've found Minwax oil stains to be harder than most to use, preferring instead to use water or alcohol soluble dyes in several coats to "sneak up" on the desired color. It's not unusual for an amateur like me to make 20-30 test strips if I'm going for an exact match, overlapping redder or browner dyes to get the right blend. You definitely should ask your finisher to match an existing piece that's the color you want, not try to guess yourself.

Does anyone have a greenhouse in zone 7 that works well?
Q

You could check into Jaderloon, which is a company in South Carolina, to see if they can quote something in your price range. My greenhouse from them is pretty large, but they make smaller ones marketed for residential use. For cooling I use fans/vents and an evaporative cooling pad in the end walls with a programmable step controller to stage when each of those comes on, so the whole system requires electricity. I'm also in NC and grow and work in there year round.

Bill, did you get the GM Supplier and Friend discount or did you get the GMS discount. Gm is encouraging employes to pass along the GM Supplier and Friend discount not the GMS discount. GMS is only for eligible famlily members. And when you Obtain an Authorization number you have to check off what relation that person is to you. Hope you have good luck with your new Impala.

hey jd thought you would like that. its not my 1st new g.m. product, but 1st new one in the last 15 yrs. will see how it works out. i expect it to be every bit as trouble free as my last 2 hyundais, if not it will be the last new g.m. product. at my age i only have about 2 more new cars in me. i dont know for sure on the dicount, i know it involved a code, then the dealer filled out some paper work and i signed it, and my neighbor had to sign it also. ??
