Competitive Owner Incentive
Trading in a SUV or a minivan? If so, you may qualify for $1000 additional customer cash when purchasing a new 2008 XL7.* Offer expires 06/30/2008. *Click here for details
Something depressing about knowing that the "Competitive Owner Incentive" + Free Gas one shot deals are about equal to cash that took me about a year to accumulate on my GM card that I'm allowed to use on, say, an HHR or Equinox. And this is coming from a maker, Suzuki, that usually has pretty puny incentives and MSRP's closer to invoice than GM.

Right now, we currently have Mid-Car Magic...if you own a mid-size car (ie, GP, GA, Camcord, Taurus, etc), you get $750 off your purchase without trading the car in. Before that, we had People Mover (same idea, but with Vans and SUVs), end of last year, its was Small Car Suprise (again, another loyalty/conquest of compacts worth $750).
So, lets look at a G6 for instance:
$1750 Cash back
$750 cause you own an Intrepid*
$800 Student bonus (first two payments up to $400/pmnt)
$500 Free gas
(plus, you could still use GM Visa Points($1500), Military($500), etc)
And, you can use all these discounts and STILL finance at 0% for 72 months!!!
Maybe the US is different than Canada, but, our programs up here are always decent...and we dont have 3 Days of 0%...we run our programs for 3 months at a time!
