I don't understand that either; it happens with all makes.

When gas hit $4 + / per gal. local dealer was taking in 6 month old trucks (all makes , decked out) for as little as 50 % of the bluebook. The buyer ended up carrying the loss on the loan for their new economy car.
Don't know why instead of losing $10-15k they wouldn't finance a $3,000 Focus, Neon, or whatever.
The dealer made out like a bandit when gas went back down as they had stocked up.

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
