We just purchased a 2004 LT. They went from $46,305 to invoice $40,5?? (I forget!) relatively quickly. We told them we'd buy today if the deal was right and we were working with the internet manager. We had a check with us from the credit union, whose rates were much better than GMAC so we opted to not mess around with that incentive. Ultimately, we used the $4500 rebate, a $500 "value certificate" (they claimed the dealer gets 5 a month to use at their discretion and that was the only one they had left), and we had a loyalty certificate for $1000. That brought us to $34766.37 + tax + tags for a total of $37477.XX. We then told them, that we'd buy TODAY if they could get us to $37 even out the door. They said repeatedly that they couldn't do it, it would be a "loser deal". So my husband approached the Manager seperately who agreed to crunch the numbers and call us ASAP. At that point we test drove the Sub home to pick up our kids off of the bus. Not even 10 minutes later he called to say he could do it. They knew we had our PSECU check with us for a max of $36K and the $1K coupon. (We more or less implied that we couldn't get approved for more than that -- not quite true.) We told them that was it, that's all we had to spend......this helped with the finance guy too. We were not pressured at all to buy anything extra. It was pleasant and smooth. Their gimmick was that we could only have the value cert. if we bought that day and I believe the rebates expire at the end of Sept. They also told us that at this time of the year, in this area (PA), they wouldn't be pushing them out the door on "loser" deals becuz winter's coming and they'll just take their chances and hold onto them at least until January 1 before they'd feel the need to move them out. I could see that logic as our weather has been ugly early in the season the past couple of years. Another consideration, they're getting low on '04's on the lot. They had one Z71, two LT's and approx. 4 LS's. The Sub we bought was also manufactured early in the model year which lowered the invoice price by about $500 when compared to the other LT on the lot. Prior to going to this dealer we had contacted via email many different dealers. Few responded and those that did weren't exactly begging for our business. It's always an interesting experience! We love the vehicle and feel good about the price, options on it (stabilitrack, side air bags, 17" 5-spoke wheels) and really like the color (sandalwood). Good luck to everyone who's searching!

You're golden! Anymore coupons and maybe you'll get it for free. My coupon expires the end of the month, yours too?

I was mailed the loyalty certificate awhile ago and saved it just in case. It expired 12/31/05. I may have to get myself a GM credit card. I never thought I'd be buying one so I wasn't interested. Shows you what I know! lol If the Sub performs as well over the next 5 years or so as everyone seems to be reporting theirs has, I'll just use my points then! |
