Im wondering who is thinking of going through a smaller dealership versus a larger one in a bigger city. The ony pontiac dealership near me is a fairly small operation, but it has been there for many years, they said for a car like the solstice a dealership has to sell so many units to qualify to carry it, does that ring a bell with anyone? But anyways, they didnt think it would be a problem for them. My other option is to drive up to orlando where the bigger dogs would be. So who is everyone thinking of going through? Mostly Im wondering if gouging is more likely in a bigger or smaller dealership, Im thinking the one near me is more likely to be on the level with me, but at the same time, when Im finally ready to order, it might take them forever to get a hold of one for me.
First off, in the program today, it was said that nearly every dealer will get one. They will have allocation info 7 APR.
Or, here's an idea for you Southeners who like to travel. Go to GmBuyPower, find your car in a northern state around early November, fly/drive (if trading,)there, and drive it home. I can help locate if needed, I'm sure the Judge or Sm. Dealer will help too, we have a nationwide search program that is quicker than BuyPower. Of course, you need to make sure and call the dealer first. Prolly want a small deposit, and may do a credit check over the phone and ballpark a pament, but you might find a deal. By that time, if there is a unit left, it will be getting close to 90 days old, and who's going to buy a summer car in the rust belt 8 weeks from X-mas. The Gen. Mgr. will be looking to unload it, if nothing else to help gain allocation for spring, and to free up $$$ for truck season. Or, find a dealer w/ allocation left, and have it built and courtesy delivered.
