I think Saturn stopped.
 
I don't know for sure, but I do see that edmunds lists TMV at MSRP, so I am guessing they still do the one price thing.
 
Maybe doing rebates is something new for them???

Holdback belongs to the dealer.Consumers need to get a life and understand profit is what every business is based on.
 
Next time anyone asks me about my holdback i will give them directions to a different dealer.

If I understand correctly when you do a dealer trade holdback stays with the other dealer. If that's correct why do salespeople seem to prefer dealer trades vs.ordering from the factory?
 
Is it really because they think the customers are likely to back out if they have to wait?

If you are "trading cars" then in essence, you are trading holdbacks.
If dealer A sells a car to dealer B, but doesn't take one of dealer B's cars in return, then dealer A keeps the holdback.
Since you have to swap cars to keep the holdback straight, thats is why it is called a deaerl trade

With Volvo, the holdback is paid when the car is wholesaled to the dealer.
CSI money is paid or RDR's,assuming that the dealer qualifies
