With many newer members who will be looking for 2007 base Solstices and later 2007 Solstice GXPs, thought this should be brought forward to keep in mind about Autotrader.com.

Then, of course, that night Auto Trader pulls it from dealer inventory and lists it on their site. This may be why so many have been showing on Auto Trader when we know they haven't been shipped.
As Sol352 discovered, how a dealership works data entry into their Dealership Management Information Systems for their sold and stock orders and how Autotrader mines that information has an effect on the listings.
