I'm trying to figure out who are the best high-volume dealerships for a new diesel truck from the Big 3. I'm looking for dealerships with huge inventory and low prices with minimal haggling.

I have been waiting for the 2017 GMC Sierra 2500HDs to come out but now considering Ford and Dodge. I had planned to go to Laura Buick GMC in St. Louis for the Sierra because folks on the Duramax forums say they have good deals. Their inventory is massive. Now I'm looking for the equivalent dealerships for the other makes.

Shippensburg Auto Auction Inc. They run it all as an online auto auction rather than a dealership - John Davis handles the listings and every truck has the photos and inspection report on it before you bid. They ship nationwide.

I know several people (including my Dad) who have bought from Shippensburg Auto Auction and been very happy.

Thanks. Lots of recommendations for Shippensburg Auto Auction around. They're in central Pennsylvania - how does buying from them actually work if you're not local? Is it all through the online auction?

Also, I'm actually in Kansas. Ideally, I want to get a no-B.S. price on a truck with an AEV lift already installed (to retain warranty).

The whole process is fully online and handled by professionals - photos and inspection report on every listing, and they ship to your door.
