Thanks Uga91 by nowarranty

I thought they might have added these additional mark-ups to offset the Big rebate. This was the first time I ever looked at the No-haggle Saturns and was surprised by this additional sticker which is usually reserved for haggling at other dealers. Thank you.

Keep us informed on the Saturn ION thread about how it's going.

$2500 rebate? Is this regional?

the old trick by kurtamaxxguy

Yes, Saturn does try to practice the no haggle pricing, but the big "gotcha" is when they pack the car with dealer added accessories like tinted windows, dub wheels, and other stuff you may not want. The only way around this dealer nonsense is to order a car that's not on the floor and make them promise in writing they will not pack the car before delivery.
 
I've seen Ions jacked up nearly $6000 with this overpriced junk. Anyone wanna bet the Redlines will not only have no rebate but be packed with any and every possible extra???
 
Also keep in mind Saturn is no longer its own enitity, but is now just another GM division. How long they can resist the usual showroom garbage remains an unanswered question.

the $2500 is only for cash buying, it should be at all dealers. If you want there is a 0% (yeah right) and $1500 bonus cash offer as well. I think it goes until the end of the month (2/29)

0% APR query by legalsec
Jul 13, 2004 (5:22 am)
Greetings!
 
I have seen a lot of remarks regarding the 0% APR, that is, people seem to guffaw as if its existence is as likely as a unicorn's.
 
Is my perception right? If so, why is that? I got 0% APR when I bought my ION2 last July; however, I probably had a number of things working in my favor.
 
Just wondering what the fuss is about.

I just purchased an Ion 2 with the 3000 regular rebate and an additional 2000 in "flex cash" vouchers.
 
Each "flex cash" voucher is worth $250.00
 
You have to ask the dealer about this. It isn't advertised.
 
It kind of gets away from the traditional Saturn policy of everyone paying the same price, but it was what it took to get us to buy now.
 
The idea from talking with 4 dealers before I finally found the car/color/options I wanted was that this was to move inventory before the 05's come out.
 
In the San Diego area some dealers have lists of cars that have been on the lot a long time and they want to sell quickly. These cars they will give the full $2000 flex cash in addition to regular $3000 rebate.
 
We got a 15,580 MSRP car for 10,580 plus tax and fees. And the dealer we went to Kearny Mesa Saturn gave us a good price on our trade in.
 
Been driving the Ion 2 for 2 days and love the car.
