Since I probably can't link to the actual threads here, just go over to LS2GTO.com and read in their "2006 Information" forum. There are many people at multiple dealers who are buying these cars (new '06's) for slightly under $25k PLUS Tax, tag and title.
My brother-in-law who is interested in one of these cars called one of those northern dealers listed and they offered it to him for $24,500. He would of course have to pay Alabama tax when he returned here which would be another $1200-1400.
I know that it's hard to believe but it's true. I was skeptical at first too.
Oh well, it doesn't matter to me, I still LOVE the car no matter what it's called.
I love the original GTO's and I'm sure I'll get flamed for this but......
I think what's really ironic about the whole issue over the car being named a "GTO" is the fact that the name "GTO" was stolen by GM from Ferrari. The original word "GTO" essentially belonged to a foreign car company in the first place.
I wonder if old school Ferrari owners had this same debate when Pontiac released their "GTO".  |
Well that may be the case, but I would have to see an original Bill of Sale showing the sales price at under 25k. You know what the saying is: 'Everybody likes to brag about how little they paid for their car and how much they paid for their house!'
And Mr. GTO, if you would read the entire post, I was NOT the one who brought up the 36k msrp. It was mentioned by someone earlier in the thread about a 36k price and the dealer adding on another 5k. I might be ignorant, but I'm not stupid, nor am I dumb!
