A great deal as this zone rep was in and out of Pontiac dealerships all over & could get any bugs worked out immediately. Previously, Dad had managed a similar deal with the same zone rep to drive what would my grandmother's '66 Ventura. Years later, when my parents moved N of OKC to Edmond, the Pontiac zone mgr & Pontiac zone distribution manager both lived in my folks neighborhood. Both zone execs drove new '81 Daytona Pacecars for a few months.

This is correct.
I was a company vehicle driver for about 20 years and I was just a worker bee, buying between one and four vehicles per year.
I think the best I ever did was 38% off on a Suburban taking into consideration the mileage (7500 miles) and past model year discounts.
