So, I am picking my car up on Tuesday. I have a supplier discount code, and my question is this: I already negotiated a deal to $4k below MSRP, and the dealer told me that any discounts that GM gives him will be passed on to me... What is the supplier discount?? The price listed on the suppkier website is more than my deal, but I know that the supplier discount reduces invoice price. I am currently at $400 over invoice, where will I be if I tack on the supplier discount???????

Also, I qualify for the conquest rebate, which discount will be better for me?

Congradulations on the purchase of your new Cadillac CTS. Also thank you for your responses to my question pertaining to my future purchse of my CTS. You are a very active participant in this web site and have been helpful to many with your suggestions and comments.

I was finally offered the supplier discount by one Cadillac dealer on the purchase of a 2008 CTS which he had in his inventory. The salesman told me he can pass on only one supplier dicount a month to a customer. I personally do not know if this is BS.


Your net price which you said comes to $400.00 over invoice sound like a good deal. Many dealers have been getting MSRP or close to it. Some dealers also tack on a dealer fee on to[p of everything. WEre you also able to get the GM loyality dicount which is $1,000.00?

Just curious; why didn't you wait for the 2009? You will probably get one of the last 2008's built.

I, too, thought I was getting a great deal without help from the General.

The difference between MSRP and Supplier MSRP is almost $4k!!! Should I expect to see $4k off of my already well negotiated deal??

Never owned a GM car before, so no loyalty there.

Didn't wait for an 09 because it would have been August when I got my car which would have cost me $1000 more. Now I will just have the lowest mileage 2008 when I sell it in 2013.

The quotes screwed up, that last post is unintelligible.
