So what do you think? Did the GM blitz clear out all the new 04s sitting or are we in for something else next month? I think if they gave the $3k rebate plus the $1k GM loyalty and even 3 years at no interest - they'd be gone pronto.

The trouble with that 0 interest 72 month thing as I understood it is that you got none of the rebates or incentives or anything!

Yep you do interest rates or discounts, not both. Went by the dealer yesterday, all they have left are verts and Z16's. No coupes all have been scooped up.

He said folks are comming in to check out the last of the '04s and buying the C6 coupe instead becuase of the small end price difference. A Z16 can now be had for $47gs (normally $57g's), a C6 for $50gs.

There aren't many 04s left--the remaining few will soon be gone.

Considering there are over 15 new 04' verts within 200 miles of us..............NO
Some dealers want to deal.......10K+off some...some only 5K off!
I will sit back and wait for the next round or buy a C6 at GMS

My dealer still has a bunch of C5's including Z16's....I think they are trying to retire on each one.....I know as a fact they are really trying to retire on their C6's

I think there are still plenty of C5's out there - I look for more incentives soon.
