Best time? It's never a good time to buy a GM car.

Is Now The Best Time To Buy A GM Car?

Did GM all of a sudden replace their lineup of offerings, if not, then I can't think of why I would buy a GM!

They deserve this outcome. After scrapping the EV1 and they could have been years ahead of Toyota for mass production, they deserve this. To disban the EV1 to buy Hummer was rediculous. That is like saying no to the cute next-door neighbor to date a stripper and years later, you are dying of aids.

Yes, but I would have to take a journey to find a (corvette) dealer now.

Sure, buy a Pontiac. But don't expect it to be worth anything in a very short time.
Sure, buy a Hummer. Ditto....
Sure, buy a Saturn. Ditto....

The only worthwhile GM car is the Camaro which is going for sticker and the CTS-V which is $50,000.

The $4,000 savings on a Chevy Aveo is not something that really appeals to me.

If Price is your main consideration...find a Chrysler Jeep Dodge dealer that is going out of Business...if you can find one(most had a June 1st cutoff for sales)

Otherwise...It's not a good time to buy ANYTHING...except Gold and Silver.

It all sounds good, but the dealers aren't dealing!

With sales down, the dealers are all trying to make up sales revenue by charging list or near list prices. They think that super dealing will damage the brand image and permanently set too low of a pricing expectation.

I am seriously considering buying myself either new a Pontiac G8 GXP when the prices plummet or a slightly used one when resale hits rock bottom. I can pretty much mod the daylights out of it and make myself a killer daily driver/grocery getter and weekend 1/4 mile racer. SLP Supercharger = over 550 hp. Sold!!!!!!

I have been giving it serious consideration. The wife thinks I will hate it since I just turned in my 745, which was pure luxury, but if I can get a decent amount off of MSRP or a killer deal on a used one, i'll drive it to work every day and laugh all the way to the bank with the money i'd save. It would be cheaper than any car i've bought in over a decade. I test drove a GXP a while back, not serious at the time and was very impressed. It was way faster than my 7 series, handled better and the leather interior was actually quite decent for the price of the car.

Ask to see the dealer's invoice. Then ask to see the manufacturer's rebates and offer them that price. You'll get it. They want them gone. Best way to buy a GM today. You call the shots, not the dealer.

the dealer discounts kind of blow considering the shape they're in. my friend's been desperate to buy a jeep ad now one will come down more than 7-8k (been that way since dec) on 35+ jeeps @ dealerships that are closing! no wonder they're going under.

The answer to your question is "I do not know"

Why don't you go buy one and in 24 months report back to us your findings.

Its funny that everyone says "no wonder they are going under" right after you all say you wont buy and let them make a profit. I mean really?

They are going under for a number of reasons, but it sure as hell doesnt help that everyone who goes into a dealership expects to save $10,000 on a car with $4,500 markup and a $2,000 rebate... i mean seriously guys.
