It is becoming increasingly apparent that there is a glut of our favorite things on the market.... dealers who want to move the '04's are finally coming to their senses and it is not at all unreasonable to expect to be able to buy an SSr for as little as $500 over invoice; this is the reality in the metro Texas markets for example and there is a good supply of SSr's there... i.e. a really basic SSr that has an MSRP of $42k can be bought for in the order of $38.5k while one that lists for $46k should be offered at $42k or there abouts. this is better than what I understand GM supplier pricing to be but I could be in error...... :nono
Pricing for the improved '05 does not seem to have been posted as of this morning. Don't forget that it may well be better to have a 1Sa '05 with a couple of options than a loaded '04 if you are after performance BUT it will require premium fuel.... it is likely that there will be some real bargains on the thousand of unsold '03/'04's that are around once the '05 comes on the scene because it will be apparent that the earlier SSr's do not offer the 'package of benefits' such that the market will require a material price difference between an '05 and the 03/04 SSr's.... say 15% or $6k plus for the model year difference and a further $2.5k or more for the upgrades. :yesnod for a total of $8.5 or more...
What is happening where you are???? :seeya
