I got about $5500 (I think), plus about 1% of holdback. GM is bleeding and use that leverage. My spiel was simple: I like the car (I don't love it), and if the deal is right, I'll buy it. As of about March 1, Saab had about 376 days worth of 9-2x inventory. It's a buyer's market.

So did you get MSRP - 5500 or Invoice - 5500? A dealership offered me right off the bat 17.8k + Taxes and Tags for a manual base linear. Is that in the right range or can I move them any lower?

Sorry for my stupidity, but what's the GM "hotbutton"? Is everyone eligible for it?

My goal was to get out the door (TTL) for $18K. I ended up at $18,100. Taxes were about $520. The deal was written up for $17,100 but the purchase order had the $359 for administrative fees and then about $89 TTL. I didn't care how they wrote it up. You can probably haggle down a couple hundred dollars. My dealer refused my first 2 $18K out the door offers. Finally, I emailed the dealership with the $18,100 offer and said this is the final offer. If you can meet it, call me this evening and get the car ready for pickup tomorrow. If not, thanks for your help... They called and made the deal.
Good luck.

It's GM's attempt to get warm bodies into the showrooms so the salesforce can have a prayer of getting a "live" one lathered up to make a purchase. In actuality it's mostly going to get "tire kickers" who want to get a shot at a free car when they push the Onstar button in the winning vehicle(s).
I don't think that Pontiac is having any problems getting buyers and prospects into the showrooms especially since they PRESOLD the first 1,000 Solstice roadsters in TEN minutes!!!
As far as Hotbutton eligibility goes you should be as eligible as the next person.

Please, PLEASE tell me you purchased a Linear and not an Aero for $18K.
Congrats & much luck with your new ride anyway.

MSRP on the base Linear is $22,990. You need to add the shipping charge of $695 for a total of $23,645. Remember though, the lower the price the lower the taxes. Since they wrote it up for $17,100, my taxes were reasonable.
And yes, it is indeed a LINEAR!

If I wanted to lease 9-2X, how much would my monthly payment be? Based on the final price of $17,100. Thanks.
