#330 of 363 Re: Need advice [azubairi] by dglavin96 Jan 20, 2009 (2:42 pm)
Replying to: azubairi (Jan 20, 2009 10:54 am) I believe the $2800 discount puts you at right around the invoice price. The model rebate is $1500, not $2500. (If the dealer says it is $2500, take the deal and don't argue!) I would try to buy this car for $41,000, less the $1500 rebate, for a final price of $39500. That would be about $800 below invoice. You should get that deal if you stick to your guns. The incentives may get better after 2/3, but there is no way to know for sure.
#331 of 363 2009 cts question by shoeles2 Jan 26, 2009 (1:34 pm)
My lease is up in 2 months on my previous cts and there is some minor repairs that need to be done that will cost around $1000. If I trade in the car for a new cts, will they waive those fees on my return car? Secondly, with the deep discounts I qualify for, do you think I could turn around and sell the new car, and break even or maybe even a small profit, to a 3rd party that does not qualify for the lease/loyalty rebates? Or is that stretching it? Thanks! Replies to this message: vinnyny (Jan 31, 2009 7:41 am) shoeles2 (Feb 02, 2009 8:31 am)

Replying to: shoeles2 (Jan 26, 2009 1:34 pm) No way you'll turn a profit by quick-flipping a CTS. They lose so much value when you drive off the lot that you'd have to pay somebody to take it off your hands (despite those ads that tout the CTS as a resale value award winner). Except for high-demand, low-volume cars (rare exotics), every car loses big when you take it home. Replies to this message: shoeles2 (Feb 02, 2009 8:31 am)

#334 of 363 2010 CTS COupe by bojohart Feb 04, 2009 (8:38 am)
I had heard that Cadillac was bringing out a new CTS coupe, for 2010. Based upon this, I leased my 2008 STS, with lease expiring in August 2009, the date the new car was to have debuted. Cadillac has dropped the coupe's debut, instead, bringing out a station wagon. I have NO interest in a wagon, as we now have a 2009 Murano to fill that niche. I contacted Cadillac, and they confirmed the fact that the coupe has been pushed back, and is listed as a concept car. If price is right, I'll buy the 2008 STS I am driving now, as it is a wonderful car, and in excellent condition.

#335 of 363 what kind of deals are people getting these days? by waffleman Mar 05, 2009 (6:25 am)
Replying to: bojohart (Feb 04, 2009 8:38 am) With the recession in full gear and GM possibly going bankrupt, are you finding better deals now? What is a reasonable price to pay for a DI AWD? Replies to this message: pao (Mar 05, 2009 6:31 am) shoeles2 (Mar 05, 2009 11:56 am)

Replying to: waffleman (Mar 05, 2009 6:25 am) GM isnt giving the cars away...you can get them for less than MSRP..but still expect to pay at or slightly above invoice...unless you have GM card points and other incentives....a fully optioned DI AWD will probably still run in the low to mid $40Ks out the door.....from what Im seeing in my area....but shop around   bought my 09 CTS non DI RWD fully loaded MSRP 49,500 for just over $42K last Sept during the employees pricing sale....put another 5K down and financed the rest.....

Replying to: waffleman (Mar 05, 2009 6:25 am) I just bought a cts base model with msrp of 39,500 at the end of Feb. Believe it or not, I got it for 26500. I had a 4000 rebate on a lease return, and I think I got lucky buying on the last day of the month. The neg. price before the rebates was 34,500, a full 3000 below invoice. It's really sad to see them selling cars at this price.
#338 of 363 What price to negotiate on Invoice ? by twain809 Mar 16, 2009 (5:55 pm)
I'd like to agree on a price for a 2009 CTS based on an amount based on invoice.   1) If I go to kbb.com and price the car with options, is the Invoice amount they show a legitimate Invoice amount (and equal to what the dealer would be invoiced by GM)?   2) What is a reasonable amount for X in: Invoice + $X? X=$500? X=$700? I think Invoice +$X plus all applicable incentives (for example, March's incentives equal $2,500, so my price would be Invoice + $X - $2,500.   I have no trade-in, not coming off a lease; this is a straight purchase.   I live in the Northeast. Don't know if that has any impact on X. Replies to this message: pao (Mar 17, 2009 3:46 am) twain809 (Mar 17, 2009 12:02 pm) pao (Mar 18, 2009 4:38 am)
#339 of 363 Dealer located a car at another dealer? Added cost? by twain809 Mar 16, 2009 (6:12 pm)
If the dealer I'm working with has located a car at another dealer, does my dealer need to give the other dealer a cut of the profit? If so, I presume this would make it harder for me to get the best price because the two dealers need to share the profit, yes?
