Might pull the trigger on an 09 SS tomorrow.......
Went in to hash out some numbers tonight for an SS. Found a Silver one within a few hours drive. The deal on the car is good. I combine supplier pricing with 4k cash adjustment, $750 maintenence credit and $500 lease loyalty.
Just waiting on what kind of rate I get on the loan before I pull the trigger.
I hope it's a decent one. My Fico is 799 and would be higher if banks would mark closed instead of open on loans have been dormant for a decade or more.
What kind of bank rates are others getting?

Is that a bank rate or a GMAC rate?

Yeah, I'm looking at various bank rates on Google and the US banks seem to be giving better rates than up here. I do all my banking with a local credit union and they offered me 8.9% which I laughed at. Back when I had almost no credit, the same credit union gave me 8.5% on a car loan.

I got lucky with mine... Originally 6 years @ 2.9% with zero down, plus $1,300 in rebates (student + dealership).
The day my car arrives, they come back and say GMAC wants to dump 6 year financing and offer me a $5,000 pre-tax credit in exchange for switching to an RBC loan at 8.75%. Worked out to $1,800 cheaper for me over the full 6 years.
...Except we flipped the loan the next week to my dad's line of credit, which is at prime. Now somewhere near 3%, I believe? I'm also paying the loan down in 2 years rather than 6.
If you can follow the math, I somehow managed to pocket about $6,300 in discounts due to sheer luck while still ending up at a 3% rate.

Definately good deals going around right now, at least in Canada. My understanding is that the cash deductions ($4000) only apply when getting outside financing (not GMAC) though.

First of all, don't even think about it, just do it, lol...I traded in my '07 G5 GT for my SS and am reminded why I did it every day when I put my right foot down Couldn't be happier with the decision.
As far as a rate I got a 5.2% interest rate over 60 months on my SS, after all the rebates (was the last new '08 SS in AZ if my dealer wasn't lying) the sticker was 20480 plus 6k of negative equity, minus a 2k down payment for 24480 total financed. My payments are 443/month, this was with a FICO in the mid 700's thru a local credit union that the dealer setup the loan with.

Well, as it turns out a great rate is not to be had. The dealer got me 8.35% and my credit union was 8.9 both locked in. The CU also offered 7% variable rate. But the killer was that the disability insurance the dealer offered was cheaper than what the CU offered, enough to offset the interest and then some.
They are quoting me $678 a month for 60 months. If they can get than down to $650 a month than I'm signing. It's $100 more than I wanted to pay but that $100 is basically my lease obligation.
Wish me luck.

Now I'm confused. I thought the $ 4,000- cash delivery allowances on the SS expired March 2? Doesn't show on GM Canada's site when searching and bringing up the page for cash incentives(and it did before). Can anyone clarify?

Try building an SS with your postal code. The $4k will show up on the left side of the screen.

I'm going in to talk to them tomorrow night. If they come down to my terms then I'm going to sign. They will still get the car for more than invoice plus they get the kickback on the financing. But if don't want to do it, I'm walking.

Can your dealer offer GMS pricing? If not, do you know anyone that works at GM? A friend was able to get me a GMS discount code, so no haggling is required to get $1000 USD below invoice.
