Chevrolet will announce revised 2009 model year Suggested Retail prices effective with vehicles produced on or after September 29, 2008. The revised Suggested Retail prices will affect the Aveo, Cobalt, Colorado, Corvette, HHR, Impala, Malibu, Trailblazer, Equinox, Avalanche, Tahoe, Silverado, Suburban and Express. Dealer invoice amounts will increase accordingly. Dealer discounts remain unchanged.

Dealer price schedules will be available in GM DealerWorld under Sales &/Or F&I Tabs effective September 29, 2008. Reference administrative message #VSF20040006 (dated February 26, 2004) for more information regarding this web site.

Sold order price protection eligibility dates are dictated by the customer and dealer order dates as follows:

-Customer order date must be prior to the date of the price increase.

-GM systems order date (date dealer enters in GM system) must be no more than one work day after the date of the price increase.

These units will be invoiced at prices in effect at the date of production; however, the dealer open account will automatically be credited for the price increase once the unit has been delivered.

Generally, fleet orders are invoice price protected (i.e., bid center FBC order types, VQ orders). All other fleet orders will be price protected according to the bona fide sold retail price protection policy above. Refer to the price protection effective date on the invoice.

Please file this administrative message with your 2009 model year pricing information.

GM Autobook will be updated with the revised vehicle pricing in the next data release, data version 143.0, that you will receive in your automated update by Friday,October 3rd, 2008.

Order Workbench will reflect the revised vehicle pricing at 8:00am on Thursday, October 2, 2008.

wow. very interesting. i would have expected a decrease, not increase given the poor sales performance of GM cars.

And why make an increase so shortly after 2009 production? I mean 2009 prices were already raised since 2008, right?

Maybe they don't want to sell any cars, so they can be bailed out by Uncle Sam.

Yep expect incentives for the 550,000 Silverado’s they typically sell each year BUT a 2021 Corvette that if lucky they will be able to produce 40,000 and may be sold out with modest, if any, discounts by dealers? Lot’s of luck1

Like the C7 where I only paid $2800 for the Z51 option on my September 2013 built C7, expect the Z51 option could increase significantly like it did in early 2014!
