I went looking at some cars this weekend and stopped in front of a GTO. I had no idea what kind of car it was till I asked. The body style grabbed my attention. I pulled up in my Nissan Maxima which is already a quick car in my eyes. I told the salesman I was just looking and had no clue what kind of car I wanted. He pointed me to the GTO and said if you want to have fun lets go take this car out. He did this knowing I wasn't ready to buy that day. (Sunday) I ran the piss out of the car and really liked it. I am looking at it very seriously. The only issue I have is the bad interest rates that GM is offering. Other than that the car was a lot of fun.

Employee Discount/GTO by gottabgto
May 10, 2005 (3:29 pm)
I have access to the employee discount from GM.
Mentioned that to a dealer and he said the GTO is not covered under that.
The discount is 5%.
Anyone know if that is true or was this guy just blowing smoke?

Not technically true.
 
GM employee (GMS pricing) is offered on the GTO - if you're an employee, log into GMFamilyFirst and then access the special version of GM BuyPower which will show you the employee pricing.
 
Dealers are _not_ required to sell you a car at GMS pricing. Many wouldn't, at least initially. I'd strongly suggest shopping around for a dealer that will... most of them have gotten smarter since last year (but there are a few who are still not offering GMS and/or are trying to mark up the cars over MSRP).

The GTO is covered under the Employee discount. I got my 2005 GTO using my employee discount with no problem at all! Tell the dealer you will go somewhere else then.

Mis-Quote? Can I take advantage of this? by roland747
May 24, 2005 (6:09 am)
I emailed a Pontiac dealer about taking a test drive in a Midnight Blue/Black Leather/Automatic 2005 GTO. The internet sales manager sent back a quote (including VIN) for $20,188 + tax, title, and license. Can I force them to actually give me this price?

I don't think you will be able to use a typo in an e-mail as a legally binding contract. What are GTO's really selling for these days? Last I heard dealers were asking for about $1000 off MSRP. Let us know what the correct quote is when you get it roland747.

2005 GTO ADM by simba2
May 29, 2005 (11:57 pm)
The local dealer has a black 2005 on the lot, first one that I've seen at that dealership. I looked at it today and noticed they have a $2500 added dealer markup sticker on it. Looking at the Pontiac website I see there are at least 8 more GTO's within a 75 mile radius. From what I've read hear I should be able to buy a GTO for less than MSRP. Are dealers really getting a premium for these cars?

Depends where you are. I have heard that you are more likely to see MSRP and above pricing in the L.A. and Las Vegas areas, as well as South Florida. If you're somewhere in the Midwest, no way.
 
I personally would never pay more than MSRP for any new car. Strongly suggest you check other dealerships.
 
GM's "offer employee pricing to everyone" deals start on June 1. Of course, this may not be as good a deal as you might think, since rebates will either go away or be significantly reduced...

Thanks. I'm in north Alabama. There are several dealers that have cars in stock within a short drive. I'll check them out.
