I just checked over some of GM's incentives for Memorial Day. Cash back looks good, but interest rates are staying over 2%. Is anyone planning on purchasing a new vehicle this weekend??

 

[Koasterking]

I wish I could. The Chevy dealership near me has probably the best looking HHR SS I've seen. Metallic blue, sunroof, limited slip, upgraded sound system, etc.

No, but my Daddy and I checked out a G8 yesterday. Even he said it looks good, but why the hell can't they build it here? LOL! It had everything but leather and sunroof. Stickered at $29,995. Ol' pops wasn't crazy about the price, either! It is a quite roomy car.

And no incentives either on the G8. It's great to see a vehicle being sold with nothing added to sweeten the pot, but at the same time it's hard to swallow paying for it!

Nope. have a few years before I can afford one.

well not this memorial day, but I should have my turbo for at least a month by this time next year :bounce:

My brother is looking for Ion Redline's in good shape for a good price, anyone who has info on that for me, shoot me a PM. Thanks.

Enjoy your TGIF and weekend GMI

Nah, no time to go car shopping.

Plus I decided to sit tight and wait for a slightly-used CTS to come across the block. I don't want to take that huge first year hit just to say it's a new car, although I do plan on keeping whatever I buy (which is likely to be a CTS) for at least 4+ years.

I was leaning toward the G8 for a while, but at $4+ per gallon, I can't rationalize a V8 for a 50 mile roundtrip commute. I'd never keep my foot away from the gas pedal, either. Plus, I like the styling and interior - plus nav availability - of the CTS more.

Gas has soared above $4.00 per gallon and my 22-mpg-despite-my-grandfatherly-driving-style-6-cylinder car is just eating up the contents of my wallet. The bug under my butt to buy something more fuel efficient has returned, a bug that has been coming and going for the past 6 months or so.

Someone please tell me "Keep your car. It does not financial sense to get rid of it."

 

[PA Dweller]

Sadly no, probably this time next year however or sooner.

Im buying a 2008 Cobalt coupe LS this weekend. Either Silver or Red with the 2.2/5speed. Gas is absolutely killing me in the TBSS since I got a new job back in january and its just not worth it anymore. 14MPG avg. with premium to 28MPG using regular will put a but load of cash back in the pocket!

450+HP SUV to a 140HP econo box is going to be quite a shock...

 

[FenwickHockey65]

Nope.
Unless I get some money. A lot of money. In that case I'd get a fully loaded Pontiac G8 GT.
But we aren't due for a vehicle change until 2013 or so. It'll be time for a new truck then.

Nay, I couldn't afford it right now. With gas prices and food prices the way they're are, I'm lucky I can even afford to pay my insurance right now. Maybe in the future.
