Nice deal. What's GMPP pricing anyway?

This poll was doing very well when it was on the front page.

The way the software works is that the poll with the newest creation date in the Polls section is put on the front page. No, you can't create one directly in the Polls section, create it in some appropriate forum, then, if it's an interesting Poll, one of the Moderators might pick it up and move it to the Polls section.

I paid $1000 over MSRP. I thought that was a bargain since I talked to about 10 dealers and most were charging $3000 - $4000 over sticker.

I think he is referring to what they call program cars. Been driven for anything up to about 7,000mi. and then sold to employees at a larger discount.

I ended up actualy paying less than MSRP because when the car finally got here, it had the wrong seats from the factory. There wasn't a way to mark two boxes on the survey. I got about 875. bucks knocked off MSRP and had 3,487.00 built up on my GM Card. I've been with this salesperson from Chevy to Pontiac for 12 years. I've been told I have the cheapest Solstice ever sold. I think they may be right! Hooray

Just got out paper work and realized my dealer never added the destination fee on the first page to the total on the final talley. I think I'll go buy more stuff.

After I ordered my Solstice, about ten months had gone by when I noticed on my statement points dissapearing? I contacted GM Card for an explaination. They said that, If you don't use your points within so many years, they start taking back the points monthly beggining with the first months points, then the second and so on until you have no points if you don't purchase a new vehicle. I informed them that I was waiting on my Solstice to arrive and I was ticked. They agreed to halt reverse withdrawal for 3 months, but would at that time (If I hadn't purchased) take all 3 months off at one time and continue this practice until I purchased or ran out and restarted. My car came in before their deadline. As a matter of fact, they started adding monthly points again after the conversation. I was down to about 3,250. When the car came, I was warned that I might only get about 1,200. towards the purchase. Well, After the delay, the Wrong Seats and the great salesperson I deal with, A call by my super sales gal to GM expressing what a valued customer I was along with what was posted on my account from 3 months before, GM Card gave me all my points to keep me happy! Go Eva Stuart @ Michael Holley Pontiac/Buick/GMC.

Okay...I need to know what GM card you have.....Because I have the GM Card (World) and I just checked the website yesterday (because I might be buying a GXP this weekend) and it says you can only use $1000. That all I was able to use on my current Sol. I went out and got the GM extended family card and it's my understanding you can use all your points. Well I only have a few hundred points accumulated on this card. On my GM Card (World) I have $7,500+ points. It's very important that I find out what card you used because I am going tomorrow to test drive the GXP. Please respond!!!! Thanks!!!!

...because I paid MSRP exactly, not plus up to 500 over. this poll is a bit biased, it appears.

oh, yes and I paid it on both the NA and the GXP.
