#45 of 317 Re: [mattress] by hemi335 Jan 03, 2005 (4:11 pm)
Replying to: mattress (Dec 30, 2004 8:23 am) I just used a newspaper bottom line applied the GM card (I only qualified for $5,000 total, some I know qualified for $6,000 based on earnings). Mine still cost me only $1,600 to lease for 2 years including the Nebraska sales tax. Either that or I could have bought for about $19,700, which is less that my lease residual of $21,400 at the end of 2 years. Needed a new vehicle like another hole in the head, but couldn't resist this great of a deal. Thanks GM Card once again...
#46 of 317 GM Card points and other stuff by 4loans Jan 03, 2005 (10:40 pm)
What states are the people in that got the $5000 in GM points? I got a notice rounding up up $2200 in points to $3000 but not $5000. What are the incentives in CA. The GMS site showed $3500 plus low APR ending today. Was the 24 month lease that a few people mentioned something that was offered in all states.   What caused the increase in Horsepower from 2004 to 2005?

Replying to: 4loans (Jan 03, 2005 10:40 pm) GM Card rounded up certain cardholders - I have $3k in earnings on my card but didn't get rounded up (no matter, I have my GTO and the wife's new Envoy, so I wasn't in the market anyway). If you got "rounded up" to 3k, you probably got rounded up to 6k if you bought a GTO, SSR, or SRX V8. Best way to check would be going to GMCard.com and checking out your earnings - they did not send out a postcard about the increase in roundup $$$ for those models.   As to the rebate, the whole Western US only got $3500. Midwest got $5k, and East and South got $5500. But those incentives expired tonight...   --Robert Replies to this message: carfact (Jan 04, 2005 7:16 pm)
#48 of 317 Almost had one by gmguy1177 Jan 04, 2005 (5:23 am)
Last night I drove about an Hour to finish a deal on a silver GTO. I was quoted 115 month for 24 months nothing out of pocket for 2year lease using 5k gm card earnings. I had a similair offer from another dealer for a Red Pulse an hour or so south of me but i wanted silver. I get up there and the salesmen shows me the car. I try to start the car and it doesnt start. The salesmen thought maybe te battery was dead. Hooked it up to a charger...still no start. I was not happy. HE wanted to have the service guys take a look at but i just had a bad feeling that it was something more and the last thing i wanted was to sign papers for a car that is already a problem. Needless to say i left very angerly as they did not have another one. By the time i got out of there and got haome is was almost 8'oclock which left me no time to go to another dealer. Now the incentives are over for both my GM card and the 5500 so looks like no GTO for me.

Well believe it or not this is what I actually paid yesterday(last day of all incentives) for a NEW limited edition Pulse Red M6 2004 GTO.   Sticker: $33,485 (Invoice -holdback is roughly $31,000) Negotiated Price: $29,000 2 Dealer Certs: -$1000 GMAC rebate: -$5500 Total before GM card incentive: $22,500   GM Card roundup: -$5200 Grand Total after all incentives/rebates: $17,300 +TTL   TTL in PA was: 6% sales tax: $1038, Papers were $155 Out the door price: $18,493   I easily could have put 0 down, but since I felt like I was already stealing it I put $1493 down($493 cash, $1000 on my GM card, gotta still use it, lol!!), financing $17,000 2.9 for 60 months with GMAC. Payments are $304, full coverage Insurance is $822yr. and I OWN IT, WOO HOO!!   It took 2 weeks to finally make this deal, losing out on a few in the process but ultimately made my very best deal on the last possible day only 50 miles away. My dealer in northeast PA still has 3 Torrid Red 04's and a slightly used yellow one. Replies to this message: dat2 (Jan 04, 2005 10:49 pm) hammen2 (Jan 05, 2005 6:13 am)

Replying to: hammen2 (Jan 03, 2005 10:49 pm) I did get the GM Card postcard that had the $6K offer for the GTO, SSR, and SRX V-8. They also "topped-off" my $3,000 bonus and added $500 or a total of $3,500 for about a dozen other '05 GM vehicles, a G6 being one of them. For some customers it was called "round-up" instead of "top-off"?   I was down to $19,600 for a GTO Pulse Red Auto after all the shenanigans, $11K in rebates, or about $120 a month 2 year lease(IL taxes on the full price of the car before incentives).   Believe it or not I went with the G6 instead and got $10K of rebates including my GM $3,500 bonus. I guess the practical side got the better of me, and now the G6 can stay outside on the driveway with the remote start feature. $13K for a loaded 2005 G6 including TTL, MSRP was $23K. Sell it in about 6 months take the profit and start looking for the '05 GTO deals down the road?

Replying to: tripowergto (Jan 04, 2005 10:30 am) Wow, man, that is an incredible deal!! I now feel like I got taken last week on my new silver GTO 6spd. What is that pulse red color like? I have never seen one around here. How is it different from the standard issue torrid red?? How many miles were on your goat and what is the build date? (check tag on door jamb). The deal I got last week was 31,050 minus the 5500, plus a 395 or something dealer doc fee, and plus the tags. My insurance price through state farm was very similar to yours. I did, however, get a good price on my trade, 1500 more than carmax buy price. Anyway, how do you like your new goat so far? Enjoy... Replies to this message: hammen2 (Jan 05, 2005 6:13 am)

Replying to: dat2 (Jan 04, 2005 10:49 pm) The Pulse Red is a more metallic red - kinda pearlescent - unliked the Torrid/Red Hot color.   The Pulse Red (code A40) were supposed to be badged as 40th Anniversary GTOs, but GM killed this before production started. The 792 Pulse Red cars were the last 2004 GTOs produced, with August/September build dates.   Your deal doesn't sound too bad - sounds like you were close to invoice (dealer didn't go into their holdback), less the $5500 GMAC incentive, and they may have applied 3 $500 certs to the deal without telling you (re: your trade being appraised at $1500 more than Carmax). If you didn't have the GM Card $6k roundup, you did about as well as you could! Just enjoy the car and don't worry about what you paid - I paid GMS less $4500 (and the special GMAC finance rates). Just think about those folks who paid sticker or over it... hey, as long as they love their cars, and don't plan to trade or sell them, what should it matter?

Pulse Red is a dark blood red, almost maroon but not quite. The last 600 04 GTO's produced were all limited edition Pulse red cars($295 option) with silver face gauges, silver stitching in the leather and the embroidered GTO in the seats is red instead of black or white.   My build date is 8/04 and my dealer received it Oct 1. So it's only a few months old and hardly a "year old model" as a typical 04 would usually be. It only had 15 miles on it and so far I really like it but I did have to drive home in heavy rain at night so I couldn't really open it up yet.   These cars are very misunderstood but AWESOME quality overall. I figure I got a Corvette drivetrain at a Cavalier price that comfortably seats 4. The interior and seats are incredibly nice!! GOOD LUCK on your Quicksilver M6!!
#54 of 317 New GTO by lwv Jan 05, 2005 (8:08 am)
Here is the deal I got last week.   I was fortunate to have received the GM roundup bonus of $6k so my deal was invoice less $5500 rebate less $1500 certificates less $6k so selling price of $18450 plus tax. Decided to do Smart Buy since residual for 45k/3year was $17772. Just too good to pass up. Thanks GM card.   The car is great. I had always thought about one but had never driven one. Excellent build quality. The interior is one of the best I have seen from GM. The exterior grows on you after a short time. Pontiac needs to get people to drive these and they will want to buy. I thought the GTO commercial on the Orange bowl game last night was a good start.   Mine is silver with black auto. Build date of 02/04. Does anyone know if there are any issues that I should look out for on that early build date?   BTW, I heard that GM is putting a sport appearance package on the remaining 04 GTOs for free to help move them I guess. Consists of sport hood, grille inserts and different rear spoiler. Part numbers 92181117, 12499616 and 12499666. $700 value.
