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.

Replying to: hammen2 (Jan 03, 2005 9:49 pm) 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: dat2 (Jan 04, 2005 9:49 pm) 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!! |

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. |

It's great to see so many of you enthusiastic GTO buyers. Sounds like there are some great deals to be had, especially on the '04s. Congratulations, everyone.
