there are plenty of fine GM dealers and GM salescritters. it's unfortunate that the one(s) near you don't want to sell you a car ! as an example of the complete coolosity of my local GM dealer, they only order their GTOs with stickshift and they omit all nonsense from the sales process.

2006 GTO w/ 6 speed manual

A local dealership in my town is clearing out their remainder 2006 cars with the GM Discount for Everyone program. They have an 06 manual on the lot (MSRP - $32,685) asking $28,690. I would be able to knock another $3400 off using my GM Credit Card credits, and another $600 off on my Citibank Drivers Edge credit card credits. Is there anyone familiar with the GM Employee discount that could verify that the $28,690 is indeed the true GM Employee discount?

I can't confirm the employee pricing for you, but the lowest I have seen for the same model is $27,995 with all rebates/incentives included. How are you getting them to allow you $3400 on your GM card? I have about $8500 on mine but the dealers are telling me that the limit is $1000. Can dealers make exceptions on this?

Thanks Elias. I forgot about the old card. I switched several years ago because the old card's earnings maxed at about $500 per year but had much higher redemption limits. I guess I was just looking for a loophole!

Correct...I'm on the old GM Card...max out at $500 earnings a year (5% on all purchases)...and max out at $3500 over seven years. I also have a Citibank Drivers Edge card with almost $1000 on it...but they send you a rebate check after you send in proof of purchase of a new car...so basically I would be getting three car payments out of it. Went to the dealership yesterday...car was red but had red interior...not sure I like the red interior...also had a blue exterior with matching blue interior...again...not too thrilled with the interior...wished they were both black interior. Test drove the red one. Holy cow...that car hauls! I knew I didn't have much negotiation power since they did show me that indeed it was the GM Employee discount...and I had no reason not to believe them. They did want to charge me $300 doc fees...I got a good laugh at that. I ended up walking out without a car though due to the interior colors...just couldn't do it. There are some other GTOs in some other nearby cities...so I will continue my search. But damn, does that car haul!!

I bought new manual Torrid Red, black interior, 18 inch painted wheels 06 GTO. I traded my 2006 Pontiac Solstice.
Funny about all of this, The GTO I bought was a spur of the moment thing and all of you would be, I'm sure thinking what an idiot! I paid 31,095.00. I was just checking on the status of a new 07 Solstice due out for delivery in spring of 07 at my local pontiac dealship one night. My husband was out of state when I went to the dealership to ask questions about trading mine in now and putting deposit down on new 07 GXP solstice. While waiting I noticed the red GTO that had been there all summer was still there. I said to myself "of course that huge over priced Neon thing was still here", anyway as I spoke to my husband about the "Deal" with the Solstice, I mentioned how the Big ugly GTO was still there. He said if I was looking for a more powerful Solstice I should at least test drive the ugly GTO while I was there. They pushed it out of the showroom and hooked it up to a battery charger and started it up, wow! I drove it and that was it! We are having a blast and if I paid too much, oh well, lifes to short. I would have preferred all black and swore I would never own a red car, but that went to the way side too. I'm blinded by the power and speed this sleeper puts out!Yeah the dealer was waiting for someone like us. He would not budge on price and my husband was determined to comed home to it.
Just go for it and drive!

Did some research, dealer in MI up from detroit has six at 27,995.00. Decent colors.no BS about hidden costs or rebate puzzles. I found him through AutoTrader. The lowest 06's I find are far from me, East Coast. Ohio seems to have some decent deals. This site and all of you have taught me so much, I will definately educate myself through this site for my next purchase!

ha ha ha! Ok Mick whats the deal on struts or should I dive into another forum? I must add I had three men egging me onto the gto over the phone(Including my 16 yr old son) and I walked away when I found out what my payments would be. My husband said he could deal with the payment so I went back. I miss my solstice, but really they are two different cars and do not compare, so my man made me do it! Struts????
