In six months the discounts will be much better, like they always are at the end of the year.
I might be in the market for a 2006 Trailblazer SS with the LS2

No Surprize
With GM putting their eggs in the one basket of the next wave of large SUV's (until about 2008/2009) while large SUV sales are rapidly losing steam, GM is in a no win until then....they have to offer some jim dandy prices to sell vehicles that average in the teens/gallon......

I know the N.U.M.M.I. plant in Fremont, CA, their employees a killer deal on cars, parts, etc. A guy i worked with has an uncle that bought a LS1 crate motor for his 67 Chevelle, that is a GM employee. He got it crazy cheap, like $3,500 or something like that.

Just go to gmbuypower.com
They do all the math for you. It is off the MSRP.
The site gives you the final #s INCLUDING REBATES.
They give more money off in September. This is no deal IMHO.
When I got my Brand spanking new Trailblazer EXT 4x4 LT V8 for the wife I got 10k off the sticker for just asking about it.
I paid 32k for a 43k SUV with 74 miles on it. Wait until the end of the model year, you'll get a steal IMHO

Thousands off the price of a new car for GM employees, $500 fixed for US military????? I guess $500 is better than nothing. I went to Haiti, Bosnia and Kosavo to save up enough money to buy my Vette in 2000. Nobody was offering military discounts until after 9/11 2001.

Not a bad deal, but I agree - they will probably be better later this summer when GM still has a ton of cars left on the lot.

Not necessarily true about Corvettes not getting discount.
What I found recently doing some research on this is, its up to the dealership.
I found a new '04 (w/6 miles on it) at an out of state dealership. I asked if they'd honor the GM employee discount plus all other rebates etc. They said, "Yes!" And quoted a price about 2k under their "Memorial Day Sale" price. ($57k MSRP for $43k w/all discounts).
Problem was, it didn't meet CA Low Emission Vehicle standards so it would be costly to modify and register in CA (I guess).
