Replying to: cccompson (Feb 19, 2008 4:08 am) Thanks to edmunds & forums like this I know a good deal when I se one and have a much better negotiating edge. The only mistake I made was not comparing invoice to msrp to see what they were basing their numbers on...msrp was $24,409 but not bad. Just wish they had my color...I may try to match the deal to find my color...I hate to do that but I dont want to look at a color in my driveway I am not crazy about. Thanks agin all! |

Now that you can buy any GM for the employee price minus the rebate, what is the best deal out there? One example: Saab 9-7X (TrailBlazer clone). Base model MSRP approx. $42K. Employee price minus rebate = just under $30K. (don't ask about the gas mileage..  ) Got any others?

Replying to: kyfdx (Aug 21, 2008 8:33 am) Maybe the Cobalt SS ... but does that even qualify? Welll... OK, a Z06 appeals, but out of my pricerange and usability scale.  I'm hearing of deep discounts on the EX35. Do you NEED something large?

Replying to: qbrozen (Aug 21, 2008 9:01 am) The wife saw the EX35 when we were in Sarasota on vacation... "But, that isn't an SUV, it's a wagon". Wagons and minivans are out... don't try to make sense of it..

Replying to: kyfdx (Aug 21, 2008 10:26 am) Last Friday, I contact a Chevy dealer near me with 23 - 2008 Chevy Equinox SUV's on the lot. I was not picky with colors and was even looking at the base model with little to no upgrades. He gave me $1000 off MSRP of $23395 to $22393 as a SPECIAL INTERNET PRICE, then took off the $2500 rebate off for a total of $3500 off. I wrote back and he gave me a sob story of that is $42 above invoice, boo hoo. I told him I wanted $18000 out the door, not picky in color and that I would buy today. He wrote back that if GM has an additional $3144 rebate coming out, he would call me... Instead I went to the Nissan dealer down the street and purchased an 08 Quest S with drivers pkg & seat pkg (not just a base model). They only had 3 on the lot - with an MSRP of $28600 for $17100 (with a $3500 rebate). Now, that is a company willing to make some deals (Nissan) ... GM was NOT! This is just my experience... |

Replying to: kyfdx (Aug 21, 2008 10:26 am) I was also surprised the Aura Hybrid and Vue Hybrid were included. I thought they were selling well. If you are looking for a Suv a Hummer H2 can be had for $12k off. Maybe double that and I could be interested.

Replying to: kyfdx (Aug 21, 2008 10:26 am) Quite attractive, but.. I'm in no need for a new luxury car right now. I will admit, though, the EX35 is one beautiful car, but the fuel economy on all the Infinitis is atrocious, and they all require Premium. Today in the paper I saw the following deal: Buy a 2008 Nissan Quest, Titan, Frontier, Xterra, or Pathfinder, and get a 2009 Nissan Versa 1.8S for free. The tag line was "Drive the Versa when you need to, and the Titan/Quest/Frontier/Xterra/Pathfinder when you want to" Not a bad deal, really, but I'm sure this is all bait and switch. On the GM Employee Pricing, I'm liking the deals on the Saab 9-3, but I'm biased because I like the cars. Nothing else is particularly attractive, though, especially when Nissan's doing some serious dealing.

Replying to: corvette (Aug 23, 2008 8:27 am) Now, there's a marketing idea that would get some people in the door.  GM is making deals all over the place. I even saw an ad for something along the lines of $10K off a Tahoe hybrid. Saw some of the same big discounts on Corvettes. It makes me drool just a little bit. kyfdx....I'm with you on the EX 35. I drove one when I was out shopping recently. Although I was impressed, I was left with the idea of "what's the point?" There really isn't enough room in it to even qualify as a wagon.
