#62 of 71 LEASE PRICES by kinneyrhs Mar 29, 2008 (1:36 pm)
I just got back from the dealership and let me tell you, I really don't think I got the best price. Please let me know:   Looked at an XE 4 cyl with sunroof (only option). Sticker was about 22k. I get GMS pricing which brought it down to only about 20k. I wanted it with no money down and they wanted about $315/month on a 12k/39 month lease.   I am sorry but that seems very high considering they advertise the lease on their page for $219 with $2,500 down (about the difference b/t regular and employee pricing). I figured I should have been somewhere around $250/month on the lease.   Also, if you go to the GM Family & Friends website, they show that the lease should be about $260 per month with no money down. Can anyone tell me what gives?">link title Replies to this message: niceride (Jul 19, 2008 1:14 pm)

kinneyrhs, The dealer can get you in a variety of ways. But the biggest is your credit score which gives you finance options....what they advertise is for someone with probably 750 or better. I have bought 2 and leased 1 Saturn from the same dealer. I haggled everytime. Note: I have a 760 credit score so I did not put up with any Bull..... I was offered the 12/39 and pushed and got 15/39. I refused to pay for the $1200 in dealer add-ons, had them include the gap ins. The car I wanted was 300 miles away and got the car the next day. Great job on no money down.....never put money down on a lease. Are you happy with the car and the payment? If so, you got a good deal!!

Replying to: brak (Apr 03, 2008 9:49 am) Well, until we have an Astra forum...   Saturn Astra, 2 door or 4 door hatch. No comparison to 08 Mazda 3 s 4 dr sport hatch. Alloys, abs airbags, pwr, 2.3l (vs 1.8 cyl astra). Cheap astra interior looking to boot. Compare them yourself. Also supress giggles at 20000-22000 msrp   Mazda 3 s sport msrp 19500 inc destination has sold all day long at $16700-17200 depending on time of model year for years. Very high quality. Stunning looks with blue or gray.   A 20000 msrp astra is barely a 15000 car if that. If no big discounts your solution is simple... nearest Mazda dealer. Even the 08 Pontiac Vibe and Toyota matrix auto well equipped were moving in the 15000's for a 19000+ msrp version lately.   Good luck --jjf Replies to this message: kyfdx (May 08, 2008 3:21 pm)

#67 of 71 I got a great deal in Savannah by mherbert Jul 29, 2008 (10:02 am)
I not only got a great deal the staff explained the benefits of the First Place Finish and it's protection for my investment. The cost of the great protection was only $299.00 and I did not see any add on's that totaled $999.00. I like the idea that I too can purchase for the same price as my neighbor or anyone without the GM Employee discount because you do get such great pricing. My experience at Saturn of Savannah was professional and very friendly. Replies to this message: theking (Aug 05, 2008 7:00 am)

#69 of 71 PONTIAC G6 by sandman46 Aug 12, 2008 (4:09 pm)
Is the G6 the sister car of the Aura and Malibu? They all seem very close in length and appearance. Just curious. Had a G6 this last week and was a great road car.   The Sandman Replies to this message: jfritsch (Aug 12, 2008 10:31 pm)

Replying to: sandman46 (Aug 12, 2008 4:09 pm) Read the malibu forum. Same platform. The 21000msrp G6 has a trade in of 12000 and change in 12 months. the 21000 aura about 13000 and change. People are paying up for the 20000 Malibu but it will also be worth about 13000 and change in 12 months. The two others are all low 16000 vehicles (+ttl) mid model year on if that and the G6 15000. If you can get the mazda6 sedan for 16000 or the 09 Hyundai Sonata (20000) for 15000 and change definitely pass on all of them. Good luck   --jjf   Is the G6 the sister car of the Aura and Malibu?

Replying to: kirstie_h (Oct 02, 2006 7:16 am) Think twice about Aura.....I have had numerous mechanical issues as many others fact based if you do your homework. Simple google search on any of the following issues. Transmission Module, Brake Rotors, Interior Leather, Molding, Electrical Components. A lot of car for the price, but you suffer in the quality long run. Put a fork in Detroit (GM included) there done!! Never thought I would say my next car will be foreign.
