Are the 06's out yet? If not, when will they be out?

 

[fergyflyer]

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.

Dealer told me mid December. I couldn't wait.

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?

I just bought a Torrid Red 2005 6 speed GTO w/ 67 miles for 28,167 in Toledo, OH.

Orange / Bronze

I saw an Orange / Bronze GTO twice in my hometown. I thought that was an 06 color. It had hood scoops so I ruled out an 04.

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.

 

[J.E.T.]

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.

so if your looking for an '05, February would be a good time to get one, is that correct?

 

[TexasRealtor]

I understand that the '06 will have addressed the slow moving power seats. Is this correct?

I have an 05 an the power seat moves pretty darn fast. Every time I push my right foot that is. LOL

The seats will move much faster. The taillights will also be different. other than that and some new colors they will be the same as 05.

fergyflyer - They are not that fast when it is raining and you need to get someone in the backl. LOL!!!!!

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...

WOW :willy: ... u guys are lucky .. I live in Hawaii so my 05 LS2 was like 38k.. only got the sports package, and custom rockford sounds in it..

guess overall Ill spend about 43k on it, only 19" luff M1s, Cryo2 w/purge, graphics, stock bodykit, guage panel and springs.

Wouldnt mind a flywheel/shortshifter/clutch/and supercharger ... moneys tight and i kinda wanna keep my warrenty for a bit ... :willy: arty:

 

[QSGTO]

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.

 

[big_mike]

I still think I will try for an 05.

 

[Fat Bastard]

have the 04' and waiting for the 08'

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.

 

[big_mike]

Im so upside down, I can't finance the steam off a hotdog.

I am upside 11k on a cavalier !!! At least you HAVE a hotdog to steam....

 

[Fat Bastard]

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)

 

[big_mike]

they wont pay more than its worth.....already looked into that.
