GM dealer insiders

I am looking into trade in for the ss/tc and was wondering if there are any good incentives coming up soon. I can already get my supplier discount but also get any other incentives along with that as well. So I was just wondering if anyone on here had any insight or info on any news. Thanks in advance.

What the hell did he finance?

Man some people need to know their limits. Also, put some damn money down on a car.

You just missed the boat on EP and they jacked up their pricing right after that. I think they are doing a $500 cash back or 6.9%.

Thats high. Ther general rule is your car payment should not exceed 1/4 of your monthly net pay.

Dealers usually are waiting on GM to release the incentives , until then they really don't know what is coming down the pipe. Well atleast at the dealer i work with anyway.

After buying my SS/SC @0% , i will wait for a 0% event before buying a car again. They will run one to get rid of 08 leftovers sooner or later ( i hope) . It's great to see every payment go against the Principal.

Word, I got a leftover 07' SS/SC last December with the 1.9% and it's fantastic to actually pay the car down each month instead of getting screwed on interest...

Pisses me off to no end though, that I didn't wait and buy an 08 a couple months later... Or a better car...

I think I may wait for better incentives. Right now I will roughly get 1500 off including the 500 cash back. And I owe a little under 12000 on my ss/sc. I would get an 08 but they dont have white and they are coming out with the new stage kit for the lnf so maybe if I wait long enough I can get it dealer installed and thrown in on the loan.

So no more news or when do you expect another decent buyer incentive to hit?
