I just check the Chevrolet website and the Gm Family First website where I can go and see the local incentives and GMS pricing and neither place has the new incentives listed. They still have the 0% for 72 months listed but that was supposed to have expired on 7/7/08 (yesterday).

 

I bought an HHR two weeks ago and the salesman showed me that using the 0% resulted in less rebate and that financing elsewhere and getting the max rebate would actually be cheaper for us. Good Luck, but compare the rebates with and w/o 0%.

 

That's one of the reasons I was holding out until rebates come back.

Typically, when an incentive program ends, it is not updated for quite some time on their websites. It may take a week or two until they update the information. They probably do that on purpose so that people show up at the dealer after the incentive has expired, but decide to buy a vehicle anyway.

 

well in the case of the 0% interest for 72 months, it is MUCH better taking that than the $2500 in rebates and a 5.9 rate for 60 or 72 months. You will pay way more than $2500 in interest at the best bank rate there is.

Not sure what rebates where happening when you bought yours, but the rebate needs to 5K or more to be better then the money you will save with 0% financing.

As an example, if you borrow 22K at 5.9 for 60 months, you will pay 8K in interest so for me the 0% for 72 is the only way to go.

 

If you're financing 15K or more it is probably better to do the 0%

 

My price was $12,137 and I believe my rebate was $3500, which included $2000 for a Chrysler lease which dealers here were advertising even though Chrysler leases have ???? to do with new GM cars. No Ford or other leases, just Chrysler (my daughter is subleasing a Jeep from us). I understand the value of 0% financing and have it on my '06 SRT-10 truck for 60 months, saving about $7K. I just am suggesting here you look both ways. Looks like all good advice here.

 

The 0% for 72 is over. They have the new incentives listed on the Family First website and they are not very good at all.

It looks like I missed out while trying to find an SS that I wanted.

 

Suggestion: ORDER an SS and get EXACTLY what you want! Brembos, ltd. slip, AA5 option, new color?, etc. Take delivery after the first couple months of the model year and the rebates will be there and if you have a GM Card, they will up their earnings during the last half or so of January to at least $1000 off.

 

thanks but I needed the 0 for 72 to make things work with all my negative equity in my truck..

Ordering is not an option.

That's exactly what I did when I ordered my Grand Prix. It was a little dicey because you get the incentives in place when the vehicle is dleivered, not when it is ordered. But that actually benefited me as they added another $500 to the rebates between the time I ordered and the vehicle was delivered.

The added benefit of ordering is that you won't have any yahoos test driving your vehicle.

The downfall is that now you'd have to order an 09 and they cost more.
