#176 of 317 Dealer by me has 2005 GTO in North. Jersey by gxpgtodanman Aug 24, 2005 (10:50 am)
The dealer I bought my GTO from in the norther nj area has a black with red interior, Automatic trans, NEW in the showroom. Not sure on mileage, but probably under 100.   IN fact if you do a GTO car search, it shows a few dealers in my area having a couple each. ONe dealer supposedly had 5.

Replying to: midwesttrader (Aug 22, 2005 9:52 am) If the Pontiac locator board is correct, there has been very little activity in GTO sales in my area since the end of the employee discount in June. First hand knowledge is that the same cars I saw in the lots in May have not been sold as yet. It seems to be a dealer issue, in that the dealers knowing they have a limited quantity of these vehicles want to hold out for the highest possible price. This seems to have been the case even when the employee discount was in effect for some dealers. A few of the dealers in my area emptied their lots of the GTO's in June but others did not move any. Perhaps the dealers who would not sell at the employee discount, adjusted for the employee discount by lowering their offer on the used car trade or some other dealer ploy.
#178 of 317 GTO pricing by pjj14 Sep 01, 2005 (4:30 am)
Has anyone recently purchased a GTO in the Washington, D.C. area? If so, what kind of deal were you able to negotiate? A local dealer has offered me $500 above invoice. Thanks.

Replying to: pjj14 (Sep 01, 2005 4:30 am) That's a decent price right now. But with the last wave of '05s now hitting the US and premium gas approaching $4/gal if you can wait you'll get a better deal soon enough.   Because of no incentives, low inventory and high gas prices these cars just don't seem to be moving, at least not where I live. I see the same ones day after day at the dealer I pass on the way to work.

Replying to: pjj14 (Sep 01, 2005 4:30 am) Bought mine under the employee pricing plan prior to the GTO being cut from the second round of the plan.   Since June I've seen some, but not many.   I also suspect that the GTO is not a high margin car for dealers. When I was looking they were less than enthusiastic about selling the car. Its generating enthusiasm among enthusiasts, but not among the general public. As a result they haven't been able or willing to use it as a halo car to define pontiac. This despite the fact that the "Driving Excitement" division doesn't have anything remotely exciting to drive other than the GTO. (Although someday they might have the Solstice)   BTW: The cars listed on the GM/Pontiac web site show up there when the cars hit these shores. Its still several weeks (or possibly months), before they actually show up on dealer lots. Also, this includes cars that have outstanding orders. So just because its on the web page doesn't mean its available for sale. Replies to this message: pjj14 (Sep 07, 2005 9:38 am) midwesttrader (Sep 07, 2005 1:05 pm)

Replying to: elkiii (Sep 06, 2005 1:27 pm) A local dealer has just informed me that the 2005 GTO is now back on the employee pricing plan. Can you please provide me with any information you may have about how the employee pricing plan works. In particular, I would like to know whether the discount comes off the MSRP or the invoice price, and whether I can still negotiate with the dealer if I opt to take advantage of the plan. Also, can you tell me what kind of deal you were able to get under the employee pricing plan? Thanks. Replies to this message: midwesttrader (Sep 07, 2005 1:05 pm)

Replying to: pjj14 (Sep 07, 2005 9:38 am) Here's the employee pricing: 2005 GTO Automatic: MSRP: $34,395.00 Sale Price: $30,995.53 2005 GTO 6 Speed: MSRP: $33,690.00 Sale Price: $30,293.23   It's not a discount. It's a set price. The 18" wheel option is extra. The GM website can confirm the employee pricing on a specific car but may not be updated yet re the GTO. The dealer will not be eager to negotiate on anything but your trade if you have one.
#183 of 317 N. Cal adv this weekend by topgun7 Sep 26, 2005 (12:31 am)
I just saw an adv on Mercury news this weekend that one dealer advertise an 05 M6 below 30K. Apparently they have 3. For anyone interested. But may be waiting for an 06 for Nov and Dec is a better bet since the residual will be higher (unless you drive the car to the ground then the residual will not mean much) Replies to this message: kbobe67 (Oct 07, 2005 6:07 pm)
#184 of 317 Still No Activity Here by midwesttrader Oct 07, 2005 (10:24 am)
Just saw elsewhere that Arnold Pontiac (east coast dealer) is now offering $3500 under invoice on all remaining '05s in stock. That price must include the "secret" $2K in GM to dealer cash and all their holdback.   The dealer near me still has the same 8-9 cars they had since summer. Just wait until December/January when the '06s start to hit. Then you'll really see some deals!

Replying to: topgun7 (Sep 26, 2005 12:31 am) Local dealer (Wade Raulerson, Gainesville FL) is sitting heavy with two Quicksilver/Black 05's (an A4 and M6) and a Cyclone Gray/Black 05 A4. I bought my Phantom Black/Black 05 M6 out the door for $29k after Employee Pricing and $1k dealer cash.
