Cashback is gone. Drive-away pricing? Don’t expect it either.
But for the folks eyeing the heavy hitters from GM Specialty Vehicles, there’s one last-minute sweetener hanging on the EOFY deal. It’s free servicing. Not partial. Not capped at some absurd mileage limit that you’ll exceed in six months.
Three years. That’s it.
You have to take delivery by June 30. And it has to be a Chevrolet Silverado 1500 or the GMC Yukon Denali. Leave out the “1500” or buy the Heavy Duty model? The deal vanishes. Simple.
There are strings, obviously. The service must happen within 36 months. Or 36,000 kilometers. Whichever hits the ceiling first. You’d better stick to an authorised dealer, too. Can’t fix it at the backyard mechanic if you want this deal.
Look, GMSV hasn’t really done capped-price servicing before. It’s strange. Most brands do it. Even the luxury ones. This time, they’re breaking character. Maybe that’s progress.
The Silverado 1500 in its nice LTZ Premium skin starts at $134,500 before on-road costs. Go full rugged mode with the ZR2, and you’re paying $144,900. The GMC Yukon comes in one flavor here, the posh Denali. $174,990. No off-road cost savings on the table either way.
Now let’s talk warranty.
The Silverado 1550 gets a five-year, unlimited-kilo cover since October 2025? That’s decent. But the Yukon Denali is stuck on a three-year, 100,000 km limit. One of the worst deals in Australia. Up there with Ram’s offerings.
Cadillac drivers get five years service included.
Strange, right? Cadillac is GM’s luxury arm. It should cost more. In Australia, it’s actually the cheapest door into the brand.
The all-electric Optiq arrives soon for $80,000 plus on-roads. The Lyriq? Currently $95,000 drive-away. The Vistiq lands at $116,000 before costs. All EVs. All electric. While the GMSV lineup stays firmly rooted in the V8-powered, internal combustion past.
Which is where the GMSV cars live. The Corvette is there too, the supercar with its steering wheel on the right-hand side because the engineers made it so.
Sales figures are transparent with GMSV, unlike their secretive Cadillac cousins.
So, are they selling?
The Yukon debuted halfway through 2025 and moved 126 units in the first four months this year. Behind the Lexus LX which sold 231, but beating the Land Rover Discovery ’s 87 sales. Respectable, sure. But the LX eats it alive.
The Silverado 1500? Stronger showing. 590 sold year-to-date. Trailing the Ford F-150 at 661 and the Ram 1500 at 666, but demolishing the Toyota Tundra with just 313.
Is free servicing enough to close the gap on the Ram and Ford? Or do people just prefer the badging?
You tell me. The deadline is June. The V8 is thirsty.
