Don't forget holdback. A lot of larger dealerships will use the gimmick to get people in, sell a car at $100 over invoice, and then add their ridiculous documentation fee, so by the time the deal is done, your about 1/2 way between invoice and MSRP. Then the dealer still gets their holdback, which on Chevy I believe is 3% of MSRP.

And anyone who is paying a dealer markup over MSRP is nuts!!! I don't care what part of the country you live in. Any vehicle that is produces so plentiful that they can provide cars for the big name rental agencies is not worth a dime over MSRP. Ever notice how much a particular model vehicle depreciates is that model is vastly used as a rental???

 

Yes, employee pricing is less than invoice. On an HHR it's probably close to $2000~ less than the MSRP of a nicely equipped HHR.

 

A little bit more. The MSRP on my HHR was $22,220 but with my grandmothers GMAC discount it was about $19,400.

 

there is around a $2000 markup on the hhr from msrp price. I saw this when the salesman showed me the invoice.

 

i haven't had a dealer ever try to put a documentation fee and before myparents got me the hhr we were everywhere making sure that was the car i liked.

 

Anyone ever hear what the new promotion will actually be? I don't see anything on the web site.

 

All the dealerships around here do it. Some of them are crazy fees too!!!

 

Nice deal. That's almost 13% off of MSRP.

But it's like anything else, the more you spend, the more you save.

 

It just sucks that i had to by my HHR in my grandmothers name to get her discount. At least through the dealership I went through.

 

So what's the verdict on this? I'm looking to buy a 2006, and I don't want to miss out on the low financing they have right now, but I also don't want to jump the gun by a day. I haven't seen anything yet on it. Other than an article in the detnews.com dated 7/7/06 saying GM will never do employee pricing again...
