Sample: 30 verified buyer-submitted deals · 2026 model year · Updated May 25, 2026. Definitions: an advertised price is what the dealer lists before negotiation; a buyer-paid price is the negotiated selling price a verified buyer actually paid before taxes and government fees; a target price is a vehicle's own MSRP minus CarWhere's target discount percentage.
What to offer
Start from the MSRP printed on the window sticker of the exact 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 you're pricing — never from pooled averages. Open below the target by asking for 16.4% off (the best discount in this sample of 30 verified deals, updated May 25, 2026), aim to settle around 12.8% off, and treat anything under 5.8% off as a weak deal worth walking away from. Percentages apply to that vehicle's own MSRP, so they hold across trims and option packages.
Negotiation checklist
- Get itemized out-the-door quotes from at least three dealers before visiting any of them.
- Negotiate the selling price first — keep trade-in and financing as separate conversations.
- Ask each dealer to email the quote so you can compare line items side by side.
- Decline or negotiate add-ons like paint protection, VIN etching, and nitrogen fills.
- Shop at the end of the month or quarter, when dealers are pushing volume targets.

Are these advertised prices or real transaction prices?
Both, kept separate. The live search below shows dealers' advertised listing prices. CarWhere's discount figures come only from verified buyer-submitted transactions — the price real buyers paid after negotiating, before taxes and government fees.
How does CarWhere calculate these numbers?
Buyers submit purchase paperwork, CarWhere reviews each submission, and we compute discount percentiles off MSRP per make, model, and model year. Every published figure shows its sample size and last-updated date; the full method is on the CarWhere Index methodology page.
Methodology & limitations
Every figure on this page comes from CarWhere verified buyer submissions — purchase paperwork submitted by real buyers and reviewed before it enters the dataset. Discounts are computed against MSRP per model year, and targets are percentiles of that sample, so small samples move more than large ones and regional or incentive effects are not separated out. Advertised prices in the search below come from dealer listings and are not part of the verified dataset. Read the full method on the CarWhere Index methodology page.
