new GM card incentive
In the mail today was a new GM Card incentive offer-raising your redeemable amount to $2,000 between now and June 30th. The cars eligible are listed, and it applies to all '08-'09 'Vettes except ZR1. I will need to downsize from three 'Vettes to two as my mother recently passed away and her townhome which I am selling was a storage spot for one. I had planned to wait for a '10, but with this added incentive, and the already large discounts, it might be good timing to do it now. The uncertain production schedule this fall could also make a move now a good one. It all hinges on what I am able to get for my '03 and '05, which I realize are also taking a hit.

I got the mailing today, and mine had that I would get 5,000 off a new vette (except ZR1). I was going to wait to buy a 2010, but this seems like a deal that I should not pass up. Is this deal as good as it seems? I wish I knew the pricing for a 2010 GS.

My offer, also received today, took my current earnings of $1567 and added $1433 to make an even $3000 off.

I have 9400 in earnings. I haven't bought a GM vehicle since 2003. Maybe that's why its higher. On my mailing some of the cars such as the CTS are a max of 3000, but luckily the vette is 5k.

The reasons and economics for keeping or trading cars are quite varied. If a person can afford a new one and has a desire for a new one, then choosing that is just a sensible as any other way that they might spend money for a hobby or entertainment.

It is my understanding that the GM earnings can go to $5000 on a corvette if you have that much but you can't use GMS or Supplier pricing with it. In many cases it seems to be a wash.

I was wondering about the employee pricing part. Last time that I used my GM card to buy a car I was able to buy at invoice price minus rebate minus gm card redemption.

I got the same thing you did. I have over $6,000 in earnings and I now have $5,000 toward a new Corvette, Tahoe, Suburban, etc. and $3,000 toward CTS, Malibu, Impala, etc. I am seriously going to make a move.

You guys are lucky with these cards that allow you to redeem over 1k on a Corvette. I just got a top off offer from 2100 to 3000 but the redemption limits still apply so it does me no good on a new CTS.
