That is a good price. If I had been chosen for the GMCard Round Up offer, I would be driving one this weekend for $19K.

Excellent price. There are quite a few setting around that are "new" (untitled) but with 2-3K miles on them. I suppose the dealers love driving them home every night.
On a similar note, I know very little about Fords so I asked elsewhere on this forum if someone could tell me how many '04 SVT Cobras were sold compared to the '04 GTO because so many people seem to claim that sales figures are an indication of success. No one answered so I looked myself. I couldn't find the YTD sales figures for the '04 SVT Cobra but I did find out how many '03 SVT Cobras were built. Ford claims just under 13,500 and consider it a HUGE success.
So, if Pontiac sells 13,000 or so '04 GTOs, is that a dismal failure? I do not care for Mustangs. Never owned one and doubt that I ever will (unless someone gives me one). Nevertheless, the fact that the '04 GTO gets introduced and just about as many vehicles as its only competitor leave the lot says success to me. I imagine that the '04 sales figures for the SVT Cobra are probably a little lower than hoped for because many potential buyers had seen the '05. In turn, the '05 GTO may be causing quite a few to wait rather than buy the '04 even at amazingly low prices.

I thought I read that you had to finance with GMAC to get the $5500. rebate!?

I was just about to say you can pretty much go into any dealer for that price. As long as you have all your rebate ducks in a row.
