GM Employee pricing..
« on: June 10, 2005, 09:04:11 AM »
So who has taken advantage of this massive car dump?

I'd been pondering the BMW 330i Sedan vs the CTS 3.6L Sport. Both are very nice cars both were priced with in a 1000 dollars of each since I've been looking. I took the dive the other day to save 8 grand and got the CTS. :D

I figure if there going to give them away I'm gonna get it.. All I can say is this car rocks with it's respectable performance. I think it handles far better then the 330i Sport model I test drove.

My current car is my last domestic.  I'll no longer surrender convenience, reliability, value and such just to do "Made in the USA".  

I'm wishing I'd bought the Honda.  ;)

Yup. With 25000 less employee, they gotta sell 'em to somebody.

Yes, the GM plan does apply to Caddy's not the new 06 Vett.


I paid 33,850. Car was for around 40K on the sticker. My old car had very good resale value, I put nothing down got my payment for 450.00 leased this time and took home 2 grand cash.  Unlike some people I made money on my trade!

I thought about buying, but really I only keep a car for 3 years. Since most of my money is going towards my current project car for track days and autocrossing.

Dodge.  Previous to that one was a Saturn, which held up great for 9 years.  Dodge is 9 months old (bought in '04 with 18k on it), 33k miles and warranty up at 36k...already been to the dealer repeatedly for issues.

The good news is... all 25,000 of those people still get the employee discount!!

(I get our stuff at 2% below wholesale if I pick it up at the factory. I don't think GM is that generous.)

Yep, they are.  And my Toyota was made in Kentucky.   Does it seem like a protectionism success story to you?    (Wasn't Reagan responsible for restricting Japanese auto imports, which lead the Japanese companies to just decide to build them here?)

Just a heads up.

If you  were any kind of a negotiator BEFORE this new "good deal" you could buy about any GM car for invoice as shown on Kelly Blue Book or Edmunds sites.

You could then subtract any rebates from that negotiated price and arrive at invoice - rebate = price payed.

GM "Employee price" is in the neighborhood of 1% under KBB or Edmunds "invoice price"... the catch is "Employee price" now INCLUDES all rebates and incentives.

I think if you study it, you're going to find this is a price increase in the end.

Maybe not, but try this first. Pick...a Malibu... get invoice price and subtract rebate. Compare to "employee price" and see how it looks.
