Aura had is best sales month in August with 6700 units sold. Maybe the car is slowly catching on. I think the 4 will help sales quite a bit.

Sounds like you have some experience with the incentive from Saturn...what is the premise of the incentive...?

I don't really have experience with the incentive. I only know what I've read and what I've been told. There are two incentives. 1 is the $1,500 rebate on the '07's. The other is the $1,000 "conquest" rebate that is given if you are trading in a non gm brand (don't know if it's specific to Honda and Camry). First dealer I went to was kind enough to "forget" about the conquest rebate. They suddenly remembered it when I brought it up.
On my vehicle I received the GM family discount and the rebates, which is why it was such a sweet deal. Also, remember that Saturn does not negotiate off of MSRP but there is always room to negotiate. See if they'll throw in other things you might want, see if they'll give you more for your trade, etc. It is crazy to pay MSRP for a car, which is probably why that extra $1,000 is out there as the "conquest" rebate. That $1K brings the price of the car closer to invoice price and the $1.5K brings it below invoice.
Hope that helps. I'm sure there are others who could probably add if I've left anything out.

The XE has better incentives than XR as far as I know. The conquest rebate would apply to anyone trading a non-Gm car.

you only have to own a foreign car, not trade it in.

That's correct. The way my dealer explained it is I only had to show my registration to get the conquest rebate, not trade it in. I had a Chrysler and got the rebate, so it is not specific to foreign cars like Honda or Toyota, just any non-GM car. The $1000 conquest cash PLUS the $1500 rebate on my 2007 XR made this a sweet deal.

If I could've gotten that extra $1000 I would have purchased instead of leased. $2500 off is very attractive indeed.

Can anyone point me to a web link with details on the conquest rebate? My boss is in the process of buying an XR and he was unaware of the conquest rebate (and is getting out of a non-GM product), so he might qualify for something. The only info I can find online references a conquest rebate on the 2007 XE models, but I can't find anything about the XR.

That's what I thought too, but post #1404 mentions getting $1,000 conquest money on an XR; just wondering if there were any details about that around or if maybe that was a typo.
