Hello, I'm looking to buy a 2004 and see all kinds of low ball prices but have yet to have a dealer offer below $30K less rebate. I would like to buy at below GMS pricing less rebates. Any suggestions of honest dealers to call.
thx
JOHN

Honest dealers. Is that not an oxymoron? :gr_jest:

Try using www.gmbuypower.com to find a car and request a quote from different dealers.

I have serached gmbuypower.com and founds lots of GTO's for sale but none of the replies has come close to a below invoice offer. Given that there are so many unsold 2004's and 2005's on the way I would think dealers would be selling at GMS less holdback just to get rid of them.

That's funny. I grew up in Walnut, CA, in the San Gabriel valley.

Good luck with California dealers. Some of them were the worst in the bunch when I was looking back in April. There was a huge problem in allocation of goats when they came out. You had dealers in the NE and midwest states that had a disproportionate number of goats during winter, while the western and southwestern states had dealers who only had one, some even none. As a result, they had huge mark ups on these golden calves, I mean goats, and the cars were treated like it was Aston Martin or a mMaserati. Between LA, Phoenix, and Las Vegas, I must have looked at 40 dealers all singing the same tune. Mark ups out the ying yang.

I ordered mine from the midwest and paid the 1000 dollar transport fee rather than pay a 5K mark up just because it was convenient.

They can only sell at GMS if you qualify for GMS, and there is no Holdback with GMS. $30K minus rebates is a great deal and below invoice.

The dealer that was selling for $23,999 here I'm fairly sure was giving GMS pricing to anyone. I saw on the sheet that had the pricing "GMS pricing - $29,xxx". I'm definitely not GMS-qualified but they were going to give me that price.

Was that a very recent price quote? Did the dealer have a lot of cars?

I looked at it a couple of weeks ago, apparently they had the same offer last week. It was only on one vehicle out of 6.

In those situations "GMS" is just a price point for the dealer to sell at. So the rest of the GMS issues (eligiblility, 2-yr retention, arbitration only, no/low doc fees, etc) wouldn't come into play.

What I'd bet is it's GM in the driveway supplier certificates, minus rebates, memo, and coupons. We routinely can get a couple GID certificates from the local plant.

Heck, you want the car, buy it. What is a thousand here and there?

Actually, I could have gotten a better price if I had waited for two more days, but then I would have risked having somebody else driving my car. It was worth the extra cash knowing that my car was not beat on during any test drive.

All the miles on my car are from me and that makes me happy.
