Well ... seeing as how just about everything in Pontiac's stable is a clone of another GM vehicle ala G5, Torrent and G3 or rather outdated like the G6, Pontiac has rather become like Oldsmobile in that there isn't a whole lot unique about them. True, there is the G8 and the Solstice The Solstice however is much like the Saturn Sky, but that is also going away. The Solstice is a great idea, halfway baked. The G8 is a fabulous car and I would hope that it would continue on as a Chevy vehicle, perhaps as the new Impala another vehicle that sorely needs revamping.

Newbie Questions about Closing a Used Car Deal by lhy

I have some newbie car buyer's questions.
 
When I go to close the deal on a used car, do I need either to buy insurance from the Finance and Insurance office at the dealership or have car insurance beforehand?
 
If I don't have insurance or don't buy it at the dealership, will they still close the deal and sell the car to me?
 
I was plannning to buy the car first and then shop/buy for insurance afterwards.
 
Also, how much should the dealer charge for title and registration fees?

Shop for and get insurance beforehand, that way you have insurance at a reasonable price and you will know what it will cost before you have the car.
 
If I don't have insurance or don't buy it at the dealership, will they still close the deal and sell the car to me?
 
Not sure about the dealership but finance companies require that a car be insured.
 
Also, how much should the dealer charge for title and registration fees?
 
That depends on the dealership and the state.

If you want to drive the vehicle off the lot the same day you make the purchase, you need to have valid insurance. So, if you want to get it before the purchase or spend some time getting covered at the dealership after the purchase, that is the only way to drive off the lot the same day.

Ya! They made a movie out of me - maybe you heard about that movie were they guy steals Chrismas
Actually, I really hope the automakers make it, no pun intended.
I am trying desperatly to get a Dodge Challenger, my wife has a Jeep Liberty with warranty, my mother just got a focus, and if I can't get the Challenger, I was looking at a couple GM cars. So, I really want things to work out, but ya never know what's going to happen.
If you do, please let me know.

If you have car insurance on the car you drive now you have 30 days to get it switched to the new ride. Just bring your card.

If I could predict this mess, I wouldn't be posting here on Edmunds. I'd be out making some money as a consultant.

i have a question. back in November of 2007, I leased a Nissan Armada. I terminated the lease in March of 2008, bought it out and sold the truck. i just now got a tax bill from Nissan on this truck, which I didnt keep more than 6 months. WTF do I have to pay property tax on it? Why wasn't I billed last year? Is there anyway around this? taxes were included in my payment.

In all likelihood, Nissan had to pay the full year's worth of property taxes up front at the end of 2007 or beginning of 2008 (depending on how it works where you live). Your property tax payment for that year was probably pro-rated across the 12-month period, and therefore Nissan is re-couping the taxes that would've been owed by you if you'd owned the vehicle.
