I went to order a GTO and my dealer siad that i could not get a yellow one because they are now going to build white instead of Yellow. Is this true?
I think that they want me to buy the black one that the have in stock and they are giving me the BS!

Your dealer is an a-hole and is lying. Take your business elsewhere. (unless ofcourse you can get a great deal or get him to do a dealer trade for a yellow goat)

The only reason I would imagine he told you no more yellow is because the cutoff date for orders has passed. But no, no white GTO will be offered for 05.

He did say I would not see the car until 2006, maybe it is going to be a new color?

I really want a yellow GTO. does anyone know where I can find one?

I think it's been pretty well established here that dealers are the LAST to know anything about future models.

Actually, he's telling the truth as far as he knows. Here's why:

05 ordering is closed. You can't order an 05 anymore. So if the dealer is going to let you "order" it's going to be a pre-order for 06. Supposedly GM has said no yellow for 06, and they have indicated a "50U" color (not named, just coded) in some nebulous sales release. Well 50U is White for GM, so...you decide. Nothing official I have heard as far as if white is actually going to be available.

So basically, no lies from them. They just should have explained to you that what they would be ordering would be an 06 model - that would have made more sense to you.

Tell them you want a 05 yellow, period, end of story, and you'll search gm buypower until you find one. They could certainly trade their Black (good color) for a yellow if they wanted to.

That's because dealerships are the last to find out info from GM...GM sucks when it comes to communicating with dealerships.

I'd get white. Not my first choice but on the photoshop GTO I saw someone do, it looked rad.*

*Rad applies to this statement, I have never, nor will I ever use the word again unless I am talking about a white GTO...or become a 1986 skateboarder.

Yeah, I think it was Nikivee who chopped a white GTO onto the Woodward GTO. Looked "rad". :cool: Alas, I can't find the thread.

I don't recognize the handle, but this guy must have seen me driving around! ;)

You don't have a location listed. I'm sure if you let people know where you are they can point you toward plenty of Yellow GTOs in your area. Remember, 2005 models are still being shipped so keep an eye on gmbuypower.com and check the inventory for yellow.

If it lists on gmbuypower, call the dealership and ask if it's on their lot. It may still be in transit.

Good Luck!

According to GMbuyPower you have a yellow M6 at King O'Rourke in Port Jeff. You hava yellow M6 at Potamkin in Manhattan. You can check others. Both of those cars have been in gmbuypower for a long time so I think they're there. Good hunting.

Well, I suggest you go to another dealer, (any) get a price and they'll do a trade. Mine did, no porblem, I wanted midngiht blue and I got it. So if the dealer is worth his salt, he'll do the right thing and you'll get one.

The fallout from the boatride on my Silver was horrible. I cant imagine how bad a White one would look by the time it got here.


Aslo whats the deal with ordering???? this isnt Dec 2003.

The GTO comes in 6-sp, Auto, exterior colors, and interior colors... No options.. Just find your color/tranny combo somehwere and go buy it :mullet:

I still have to test drive the M6 to fully decide, but looks like I'm gonna be a masocist and suffer through the BQE traffic so I can enjoy the few and far between moments of open road :hail:

Anyone want to hire me so my dream can happen sooner? :-patriot:

I did the internet search and it said that the dealer here has a yellow 2005. Kinda weird, evertime I go to see an 05 when it say's they have one or two they are never there. My salesman told me that they haven't gotten one yet and he checked and didn't know why it was saying they did. I'm happy with my 04 silver/red a4, the last 04 my dealer got in december. Don't buy a color you don't want dude.

On another thread someone said gmbuypower shows the cars on order and on the lot (but obviously not the case w/ '04's).

Yeah man, I know the traffic is sooooooooo bad...but for this car I think it's worth it to suffer a bit and get the m6. I dunno maybe I'm just crazy. :drink:
