GM buypower doesn't show any around here yet. Central Fl. My guess earlier this year was December. This was a topic from earlier in the year. No one seems to have a definitive answer.
what' do you guys expect the "old" 05's will go for on the lot once the 06's get here. I'm thinking if the 06's are going for 32/33k the 05's could be found for around 27/28 in december/january?
Took a friend to a dealer tonight to look at an IBM 05. It's new, black interior and an auto. He is probably going to do it. They came down to 30k, but wouldn't budge from that. I asked the Salesmanager when he thought he would be getting 06's. He may have been blowing smoke because they had 4 black 1 red and the blue car, but he said that they were told no earlier than February for 06 models to make it here.
I was also told February.......couldn't wait. Dealer still has about 8 of them on the lot. Salesman said they weren't moving right now for some reason.
Lots of 04 owners are modding to 05 hoods and 05 rear bumbers and all the exterior decals can also be purchased. IMO , the hood scoops identifier can be misleading . The 06' rear black tailights may also be misleading for a future identifier. The Only way I know is to check the VIN or pop the hood...
yes the pwr seats will be faster. The radio controls on steering wheel will be lit. the compartment in front of the shifter will have a 12 volt pwr outlet.
Ive heard a lot about the 08 coming out. New platform, new toys, and addressing the goofs in the 04 and 05. That, and I have almost 30K on my 04. Im so upside down, I can't finance the steam off a hotdog. Ive also been told the 07's will be a steal in early 08. Im also in the car business so I have an idea of what cars are really worth according to market value.
here. If you're upside down by more than 10K$ on a car that books at the auction for less than 8K$ - take it to the worst Ghetto you can find. Park it. Leave the Keys in it and have someone pick you up. (Assuming that you have full coverage)
Well... your only other option is to go to a dealer right after Xmas and get the most for your trade, and beat em up on the price of a new 05. Im in the car biz now and after xmas is the best time of the year to get a deal. They have quotas to make for the new year and will loose money on a couple deals to make the dealer money alotted for the next fiscal year. Dont' be afraid to get up and walk out if they won't get to your number. Negotiate the price of the car from the Invoice and NOT the MSRP. Get the manager involved and shoot for $26K = tax and title. they should bite at that time of year for it. I got my 04 in Nov. last year for 26,500 + tax and title b/c they were desparate to make the deal. Aslo get online and research Pontiac dealers within 500 miles and negotiate deals over the phone. get quotes and take em to other dealers and negotiate off that.
thats the car I am trying to negotiate. they are trying to sell it to me for 29,990 and on a 5 year lease with 1000 down my payment would be 520. I walked out.
Stopped by my dealer today to look around,Greiner Pontiac in Victorville ,Ca, they have a Brazen Orange one ,and they treated me great when i bought mine, so i recommend them.
I purchased my '06 (Brazen Orange color) on 11/25. Dealer had just got the car a few days earlier. :seeya:
