Default Would You Take This Deal?

$29,385 (after current incentives) '06 (New) GTO A4 17's. Been on the lot 6 months, 40 miles on it.
Would you take this deal?
Supposedly the invoice is $31,885, minus $2500 factory rebate=$29,385.
How far into or past the hold-back can I expect to push it?
Anyone know how much the hold-back is?

I think that's way too high man. They are having a hard time selling GTOs. You can find better deals out there.

MSRP on a 06 GTO $33,290
Invoice $32,139 (No including Local Ad Fee)
So 29 is a fair deal.

Holdback is maybe about 700 to 900 dollars on that car.
Maybe you can get it for 28,5....But they won't sell it for 26K.

Um, I think you can get it cheaper. Holdback is roughly 400.00. Shoot for 28k ish.

I second that, just tell them you want them to take a hit on that gas guzzler tax. And then tell them you want them to throw in a free corsa sport catback.

i have seen a few on local lots moving at around 27k. i would push them for more than jsut current incentives. it is themiddle of winter, best they can hope for is to move it in 2 more months once it is warm again and it has gone even further down in value.
if you really want a GTO, i seem to remember a few sitting on AliWantsAnSS' lot in flemington, nj. hit her up, she can prolly hook you up with a great deal

Offer $28,000, if they really want to sell it they'll take it. I don't think $26,000 is gonna happen.

I'll 3rd that!
I know they aren't selling, but these stupid dealers just won't seem to let them go. I've seen 6speeds, without the gas tax go for 27's. But when I was shopping for one two months ago, I couldn't get an A4 for less than $29+change. So I went with an 05.

There are at least 3 of them at a dealer near me just sitting collecting dust for the past year. I would def try and get it cheaper. Tell the guy you don't need to get the car from him. I am sure you can get one for 28k or less easy!

Default Think first......

Just think: If they can't sell them now, how will you sell it in a few years?????

When the new Challenger and Camaro come out, the GTO will be worth...

Or, park it for 20 years and it may become collectable.

True don't expect a killer resale value. Then again F Bodies resale are pretty poor as well. Lets face it you can find some nice ls1's for $7k!

By the time GM gets their **** together and actually builds the Camaro, I bet people will be sick of looking at it since the advertizing started 3 years too early. imo
