The only excuse a non senior buyer buys a Buick is that they got a deal on it. So yea it needs to be priced low.

I am sure that you can asve $4000 off the sticker. I am not sure but everyone else but I have never paid sticker for a new car and will not unless I get $4000 or more off the car.
2008 Escalade priced at $64,000 bought for $51,000
2008 Jeep Commander at $42,000 paid $32,000
2005 C Class at $35,000 paid $30,000
2003 Honda Accord $27,000 paid $23,000 and traded back next year for $22,000 (for the C Class)
I dont really care about sticker prices. You "the buyer" determines what the price is. Sticker price is nothing but a suggestion to get the bidding started.

Just because you get a big discount doesn't mean it's a good buy. Besides, I doubt you were that happy with your deal.

Low enough for what?...I guess what your saying is that the car can't sell on it's own merits so it has to be priced low enough for someone to consider it?!? Is the car that bad? ...what exactly is so wrong with it that it has to be priced any lower? I didn't see any reason for that in this article!

Question: Is proofreading before posting a thread topic a crime?

You also have to add about 4-5 grand in options so a real car will be 33-35 grand.

I really want to like this vehicle. But somehow I get the feeling that its just another GM POS. I hope they prove me wrong.
