I'm getting ready to purchase a 2008 CTS DI. I would like to purchase before 1/02/08 to take advantage of the 1.9% financing. Anybody know how much off MSRP I should expect to get? From reading this forum, it looks like between $2,000 to $3,000 off MSRP would be a good deal. However, I wonder if dealers are looking to bargain even more as it gets closer to the New Year. I bought an Acura last year and got a great deal on December 31 because the dealer was competing to be the #1 dealer in the area for 2006. They were really trying to move cars.

depends on the size of the dealership and their ability to move cars....most of the larger dealerships around northern va....have 10-15 CTSs on the lot..but are having no problem moving inventory.....so no need to bargain down...most here will not deal on stock but will give the break on ordering the vehicle...usually about 2% over invoice....I would say...2-3k is a good ball park...but again depends on your area and dealership...

I'm in Northern Virginia. That's interesting about getting a better deal from ordering than from what they have on stock. I always thought buyers had more negotiating power when trying to buy a car from the lot.

I'm not sure if this topic was already discussed. Is it possible to combine the $1000 Luxury Conquest offer with the $2000 Pull ahead offer?

apparently the CTS isnt staying on the lots long..thus they arent dealing on them to any great extend....I have had two dealers tell me they will honor the aprox $3k off if I order the car.....the one Im looking at is DI with prem paint, P63 wheels, Y42 performance package and prem lux package....MSRP 46740...had two dealers offer it to me at 43900 if I order it...plus tax with no other associated fees...one dealer in Northern VA and on dealer in MD. both stated their allocations were plenty and ordering would be no problem at all subject to any constraints...

Moore Cadillac in Chantilly, Lindsay never came back when I told them the price I was offered....and Frankel Cadillac in Ownings Mills MD first gave me the price...
again..I presented them with the MSRP price.....and told them what the invoice was showing from Edmunds and KBB.....you have to add in an advertising fee of about 2.5% which is another $800 approx to this invoice price......and I started the negotiation from there....go to each of their respective websites and deal with their internet POCs
realizing that GM just announced a price increase on base prices of 0 to 1.5% based on the model.....so would expect about another $500 because of this...
again this is to order them...and not from dealer stock.....

Today, I worked out a deal with Lindsey Cadillac in Northern Va. to purchase a Thunder Gray, DI, with Premium Luxury Package and All Season Tire Performance Package for $2,844 off MSRP plus an extra $1,000 off for the Luxury Conquest incentive, for a total of $3,844 off MSRP. This is for a car on their lot so I can also take advantage of the 1.9% financing. Moore Cadillace said it would match their offer with respect to the amount off MSRP if I ordered the car, but I would have to wait to see what kind of incentive is offered when the car is delivered. I'm leaning toward purchasing the car from Lindsey unless someone thinks there might be better incentives offerred in January or February when a car I order might be delivered. The only reason why I would consider ordering the car is I would prefer a titanium interior than the ebony (which is on the Lindsey car).

Lindsay does seem to have a better inventory than the other dealer....and that looks like a great deal right now....I dont have the luxury conquest incentive to work (no qualifying trade in)...so wouldnt apply for me.....sorry to say my salesman never bother to reply to my email or voice mail if they would match the offer the other two made...
no telling what the incentives might be.....the financing option is great now.....I honestly would take the deal at this point...this is the exact car that I want....except the color and the addition of the P63 wheel option which adds another 1600 to the MSRP...and perhaps a slight larger discount off it.....
