Hoping someone on here would be able to give me an answer on this...
Looking at a new '08 Cobalt to get back and forth to work (50 miles 1 way). I went on Chevrolet.com and typed in my zipcode and it says they are offering $2000 off of Cobalts. There is also an add for a "Presidents day sale" that is offering another $1000 off.
One dealer gave me a figure of 2000 off of MSRP, and mentioned that 1000 of it was the presidents day sale. So I asked, "isn't the normal incentive 2000"? He said no.
Maybe just trying to get more $ out of me?
Was going to stop at local dealer Saturday that has one that stickers at $14,200. Subtract the $3000 in incentives and you get $11,200. A buddy of mine said I should also get $1000 off for GM loyalty as I have 4 GM vehicles right now. This would make it $10,200. Is there room to go from there with negotiating? I would think that these incentives are taken off of what the dealer pays GM for the car, not out of dealers pocket?
