June GM "Employee Pricing" Program ...

[kenmosher]

Someone was asking about buying a new GTO ... found this on the GTO www.ls1gto.com.

FYI ... just reading thru it ... kind of looks like it might be a wash on some vehicles, due to the financing and rebates being reduced.

If you're buying a truck or SUV, looks like it could be a good deal ...

I am the Activities Director for the New England Ford SVTOA chapter and Ford gives me X-plan on anything as one of the "perks" but most of the time I can get a better deal without it. The dealers are all willing to the cut the other guy for 50 cents. I love it

[CallMeMud]

Still damn high for any of them if you ask me! I don't think I will ever be able to own a new vehicle again. They are either ugly or overpriced! A standard box 1500 series Chevy with extended cab even with the discount is 23,000

[kenmosher]

I saw a 2WD 1500 Silverado W/T for $13K with the program. Of course, that's about as bare bones as you can get them.

There's almost $10K of discount on an SUV (2005 Tahoe 4WD listing for $47K is $37.5K, for example).

Not chicken feed, but if you're looking at new it could be the time ...

Unfortunately, there's not much in the GM line (car wise) that I WANT!
