clevelandGM Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 I am setting on the fence on whether to purchas a 2008 GM. I am just waiting to see if Ford will offer a larger rebate greater then $5,500 on the GM. Since this is a buyer market Does anyone think they will up the rebate?? :shades: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pioneer Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 If you don't think the vehicle is good enough with $5500 sitting on the hood, you need to buy something else. Seriously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think they would offer good rebates then but i think $5500 is a darn good deal, plus 60,000 mile powertrain warrenty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's just what they've told us so far. Half of Mercury car sales are GM's. Don't expect it to go away until Mercury itself does.

Don't expect it to go away until Mercury itself does. As Lincoln becomes the volume brand, Mercury will become much less important. It probably won't go until you say. Did they tell you that all three models will stay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-150 Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 with Mulally's stance on profitability at any cost, he'll halt production before having to firesale any cars. Don't expect the rebates to get any higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the rebate amount got up to $7,000 last year, but by then the pickins' were pretty slim at the dealerships. I would say that now is a good time to buy.

Don't wait until STAP reaches MY production end. Your choice will be exactly whats on the lot. But certainly if their reaching $6500... sheesh that puts a fully loaded GM in the all options for free category. Be happy your not up in Canada. There they really get ripped but good on prices.

I told him that months ago, even asked him to order a Panther and would follow it thru for him...was declined cause they were too expensive and better deal if you buy used...and he still doesn't have one.

theoldwizard Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 The Panther (I was there when it first rolled out the door in '78) is still the best full size, RWD car on the road. ! It needs some better shocks so that it doesn't feel like your living room couch riding down the road, but still an incredible car. Put some aftermarket Air Lift assist springs on it and you can haul a lot of bags of cement in that huge trunk ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyPony Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Thanks for the input. :reading: With all those rebates and an x-plan pin, holy rebates Batman! Any cheaper than that, they will be paying you to take it off the lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
