#219 of 317 Re: New 2005 GTO Price in SF [cccompson] by sammy15 Jun 26, 2006 (11:47 pm)
Replying to: cccompson (Jun 26, 2006 5:38 pm) Thanks all. I am worried about being 6'4", but I sat in one in the dealer and it seemd okay for a 2+2 coupe. I think I will pass on the sunroof if I will lose 1-2 inches as I guess I would. The next reply points out the new '06 should be ~$30K for M6. That's $30.7K w/ dest. charge. Auto would be ~$29.3K + $700 dest. + $1,300 gas guzzler = $31,300. That's about $1K less than I thought you could get in the Bay Area, but what do I know. The question then is a new leftover 2005 Auto w/ 18" wheels worth what I think is $26K? $27K? or is it closer to the dealer best buy price of $29K? I assume that price covers the $700 dest. + $1300 gas guzzler, since they advertised it against the MSRP of 2005 which also included those numbers plus the $495 for the 18" wheels. I like the 2005 model I saw (the only AUTOMATIC there), I like that the changes to the 2006 are minor and mean very little to me, and I like the car dealership being right near my home, all pointing toward paying a little more. But I have heard the resale value of the GTO is not as high as a Toyota or Honda (duh!), so am afraid the car has depreciated over 1 year more than the dealer would admit to.

#222 of 317 Deal Made by sammy15 Jun 28, 2006 (10:19 pm)
Replying to: theericharris1 (Jun 26, 2006 1:46 pm) Bought the 2005 new Cyclone Grey AUTO 18" wheel GTO tonight. Dealer advertised Best Buy of $28,995, which includes destination charges ($700) and gas guzzler ($1,300) and any incentives. I go in thinking start at $25K, end in low $26Ks. I am very happy with the test drive and the growl of the engine. So after salesman explains Best Buy means he has only $100s to negotiate, not $1,000s, I start with $26K, already bidding against myself. He comes back with $27,937. I counter with $26,937 (guess I really want the car as I am $700-$800 above my predetermined top price). Dealer says $27,437 (how do they come up with these odd numbers?). I finally get back my spunk and say sorry, it is time to go home and think. Yep, you know it, they came back and matched my counter. Total was $26,937 + $225 license/fees + $45 doc fees + 8.5% tax - GM Card earnings. The dealer kept the GM Incentives (either $500, $750 or $1000, probably one of the lower numbers). I will have to pay retail for the two options I want (smokers package ~$140 and dual chrome rimmed front air intake grils ~$350). I am pretty happy, not the best price, nor the worst. The 2006 is not any better in my eyes, the dealer is < 2 miles from my house, the car is what I want (most important). WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Replying to: sammy15 (Jun 28, 2006 10:19 pm) I'm curious as to why you bought an '05. Granted, an '06 would cost more but that would be more than offset by the current zero percent financing.

Replying to: cccompson (Jun 29, 2006 11:47 am) No kidding... you screwed up. Did you not know about the 0%/72 offer going now?   You should have got a 2006 for 0%/72. Are you paying interest? If you paid cash, you could have got the 0%/72 and put your $28K into a CD or online savings account making 5% APY.   The 2005 has probably been on the lot for almost a year not being drive. The 2006 would have cost about the same as the 2005 in the end, with a lower car payment probably.

Replying to: theericharris1 (Jun 29, 2006 12:27 pm) You may be right. But then again, every incentive the car company offers, they get the money back somewhere else. So the 0%/72 months on the '06 means they have less room to discount the sticker on those cars. I think the dealers will be more resistant to bargain on the 2006s for the 72 hr deal. These guys aren't here to give away cars. That's my view. Replies to this message: blh7068 (Jun 30, 2006 4:23 pm) sammy15 (Jun 30, 2006 8:33 pm)
#226 of 317 can't drive 55 ? by elias Jun 29, 2006 (3:43 pm)
sammyhagar, i think you are right, no way will they go so low on an 06 as an 05. 27400 including gas guzzla tax and 18s was a great price.

Replying to: sammy15 (Jun 26, 2006 11:47 pm) I think the dealer knew you really wanted that particular car. Should have at least received all the incentives you were eligible for (rebate, conquest, military, etc.).   You bought a two year-old car that is worth about $22K wholesale the second you left the lot with it.

The manufacturers dont(impossible) set the profit margins for dealers. The dealers have nothing to do with factory incentives. Those are set by the manufacturer.
