i agree, they have been selling trucks for $10k+ off sticker for years around here.

i think the 05's will be geting cheaper and cheaper over the next few months.

it is total bs as i have said from the start. Just another gm scam.
the discount is just the invoice price PLUS the rebate. not really a deal IMO.
Mom bought suburban, i bought my truck, and my dad bought his truck all in the last 3 years all for UNDER invoice.

It is BS. My truck had a sticker of 36,000, I paid 24,000. The GMS pricing they are giving now isnt that good. I think if you shopped around even a little you could have gotten similar pricing last year, or the year before, ............

Not to mention they were giving away GTO's on a GM card deal, you could have had an 04 for just over 20k. The employee price they are showing now is waaayyy more, I think around 30k.

Edmunds showed a GTO invoice that was about 2k less than the employee discount on the Pontiac site.

Right on bro!! All you getting is a couple of thousands off the original sticker plus the rebates which is 3k on trucks. All total bullcorn!! I worked for sales for Gm and I sold trucks for way under invoice in some occassions.

BUt you got understand their part they need sales and they got to make some profit or else they go out of buisness. I know how they feel.
