2004 CTS Pricing?

In California, the following deal is available:

carsdirect.com is selling for $200 - $300 below invoice. A few dealers will match or beat that (not many but some will)

there are a few GM in the driveway certificates floating around that will give you 4.5% above GSM or employee pricing

if you took a 24 hour test drive months ago, there are some $750 certificates floating around

if you went to the gm autoshow in motion, there is a $500 certificate available for gm card holders

there is a $1500 conquest rebate for non gm car owners - must show current registration of a non-gm car or you can photoshop a copy :canttalk:

an additional $425 rebate california car tax rebate is available until end of novemeber

i believe that there is also a military discount and student discount available

old gm card holders can use up to $3500 on the cts as well

Your mileage may vary but a new CTS with auto and 3.6 can be had for $24-$28k before tax and license if you take advantage of all of the incentives

capitol one / peoplefirst is offering 5 year financing around 4% or 3.89% if you are a costco member

It is possible to purchase a cts out the door with a payment of $500 - $550 per month and virtually nothing down.

For me, I play the game. You start at dealer A work out pricing there, then go to dealer B and say well dealer A is giving the car for x amount with x amount of incentives and x amount out of pocket, can you do better? Then if you have a dealer C you do the same. Now when you get the price around were you want or as close as possible, you return to dealer A and say dealer C will give the same car, with the same options for this price, can you match it, if not I'm walking. 99% of the time they will play ball. I did this with my CTS. I even got them a little lower to by pretty much shopping around and having them match my lowest qouted price, got them to agree to the terms and then I said, Ahhh you know what, I'm not 100% sure what color I want so let me think about it for a day or 2 and come back. Well at this point they did alot of bending and they wanted that sale that day so they lowered the price a bit more to get me to sign that day. If you don't play the dealers game the will bend you over a barrel. Never ever settle on the first qouted price you get. Always go to another dealer or 2 to compare, even if it causes you to travel a bit further. I played this same game with my fiances Jeep Grand Cherokee too. We originally were gonna get a Liberty but after playing the game the last dealer we went to ended up giving us a Grand Cherokee cheaper than the 2 dealers before wanted for the Liberty, with all the same options. :bouncy:
