usually dealers are contempt with a 1,000-2,500 profit so if you can get it at invoice than thats a win win deal...

i agree! but finding a dealer that will sell it at invoice is proving quite difficult! and i'm on a time crunch here if i am going to be able to get the $1000 pontiac loyalty bonus too.

I did the GM chat thing and they said there was 1 in Pennsylvania. Otherwise you have to give up the RS or the sunroof.

haleyd · 03-12-2010, 12:06 PM

yep, i just did it again too. tuesday night there were 3. now there's only 1. omg! of course she also told me that some dealers don't update their inventory so it doesn't always show up for them... but still. ONE?

gonna be a hard find... but hopefully you can find one...

when i was ordering i did come across a number that you can call, its for GM Marketing, you tell them what you want and they will search the entire US to find it - i dont have the number, but you can try the ordering forums. if this has been already been posted... sorry.

your best bet is to go into a local dealer and negotiate and if they dont meet your standards just walkout and tell them if they change their mind they know where to call and leave you phone #

it's probably the same thing as talking to an agent on chevy.com, i would think? i'll try to see if i can find the number though and give that a try.

i just called the ONE dealer that has the car in the WHOLE country, and he said he had to go see if it was still there because someone had looked at it last night and it might have sold. OH MY GOSH! if it did, today = the worst day ever!

edit: well kenny ross chevrolet in PA sucks! they won't budge from MSRP and won't even give me the GM discount, nor will they honor the $1000 pontiac loyalty. looks like my abm dreams just went up in flames. i'm super pissed off now.

Now I hardley ever defend a car dealer, but they do have the only car in the country like that left though. Sometimes you can't put a price tag on happiness and have to pay to play.

I totally understand where you are coming from. But if it's the only car that will make YOU happy, you may have to bite the bullet on it. Otherwise, you will have to settle for something else.

Have you tried finding a SS equipped this way? or a 1 lt and add the leather seats?

Dude ... Your wasting your time, this saga has been going on for six months ...

Russell James · 03-12-2010, 01:23 PM

Do you have to have RS? There is an ABM 2lt w/sunroof near me, but it is not an RS. I know they do the GM discounts.

Jim Thompson · 03-12-2010, 01:57 PM

dear lord some of yall make this difficult

Haley unless my search distance is off by a little, I am only showing one remaining in the country without stripes AND with ABM, auto and roof and the possibility of a couple remaining without the roof. looks like only 1 2LT exists without stripes and with all your options.

i know what i can afford every month and after the way that dealer talked to me, i won't back down now. i wouldn't get it from him... he was just plain RUDE to me.

the one in MA that chevy.com can't seem to find, but does exist, is in my price range and i have restored hope now!!!
