Hopefully this is helpful to some other buyers, will be picking up my 2005 M6 w/18" wheels on Friday, $28,900 + tax, title, & tag. Was awaiting a post Red Tag return of the $3K incentive, but doesn't look likely, at least until January. I wanted specific color (MNB) and didn't want to chance losing the few left in inventory w/low mileage. Yes, I was willing to travel. AirTran and Southwest have good one-way rates, most dealers will pick you up at the airport. Allow them to earn your business by knowing what's left nationwide. Watch out for those "doc fees", they're negotiable... Good luck to all! |

OK, so the Red Tag sale is over, and unlike Ford and Chrysler, GM has not extended their program. However, it appears the $2000 rebate is still available. Here in South Florida, the number of '05's on the lots has dwindled significantly with the end of the Red Tag promotion, but the one I have my eye on hasn't sold yet. So, I wonder what will be next... Will the rebate simply go up to $3000 as it did for the '04's? Will we see another promotion? Or, will the dealers simply get an incentive (as reported elsewhere in this forum) as they did last January for the '04's? Anyone know if the dealers have any extra incentives now? (Knowing if there are any would help in negotiating a price.) Unfortunately by waiting, the extra GM Card Bonus cash ($500) also expired on Jan 3.... My worst fear is that things will simply stay the way they are right now and the dealers will be able to sell the remaining '05's simply with the customer rebate, making the '05's $2000 less than the '06's "while they last". (By the way, I saw a new orange '06 yesterday... personally, I don't like the color at all (and I usually like orange... the old "Hugger Orange" from 1972, to be exact!). The new red is not bad, but it is only available with a black interior, not the red leather.)

Replying to: rcc442 (Jan 04, 2006 9:15 pm) But, here's something interesting... it appears GM has reduced the price of the 2006 model by $1005 (base MSRP now $31,990, vs $32,995), and there is a $500 rebate. Since the 2005 rebate is still $2000, that effectively makes the 2006 model only $495 more than the 2005, which is WELL worth it. Of course, this doesn't take into account how much more a dealer might be willing to deal on a 2005 versus 2006, and any incentives GM may be throwing at dealers on 2005's (which, of course, an ordinary person can't find out, meaning you are, in effect, bargaining with one eye closed). |

I bought a 05 6speed and I love it. One problem : the seat makes an audible click on acceleration... major pain on the rear. I am not convinced that the local dealership has any clue about what to do... so I'm a bit concerned. Drive your GTO hard on the test drive and make sure that you drivers seat doesn't 'click'.(esp around corners under acceleration) |

I am looking to lease a 2005 GTO. What kind of lease rates, mileage restriction, and residual value should I expect? Could anyone share their experience? Was it a difficult negotiation?

...to get an '05 for $26k or so. This depends on the dealer selling at invoice, $2500 rebate on the '05's, $1000 in Instant Value Certificates, and $500 in March Madness rebate. If you have a non-GM vehicle registered to your address you'd be looking at another $1k. If you had a new GM Card with $1000 in earnings, you could take that off as well, otherwise if you have the old card, there's no redemption limit... There were less than 900 '05's left at mid-month. Just like the '04's, the 6 speed manual trannys are going first... the A4's are a bit more plentiful. I believe the incentives expire April 4 and they won't get better...
