Default GMS Cert

If someone has a GMS Certificate to spare, please email or pm me. I'd be happy to pay for it or trade some other toys.

Thanks!
Phillip

You don't need one. Look at the forum dealers that are selling under supplier (and there are many). None will require you to have the gms certificate

Besides I think GM was going after the owners of those certs that were using them illegal. At least they mentioned they were considering it.

You won't get a GMS certificate. GMS is employee pricing and the limited window for an employee to offer their GMS discount to the public ended. GM maintains strict guidelines for the acceptable use of a employee discount and it is limited to immediate family and spouses. An employee sharing their discount outside the bounds of the program will face sanctions up to and including termination. Only executives have limited discretionary certificates and you won't find them doled out here.

You can get a GSU certificate which is a GM supplier discount. Employees are allowed to share the supplier discount pricing with friends.

Most dealerships are currently selling Corvettes at or near employee pricing currently without the certificate.

Actually,,Very few dealers are selling at GMS on '09's. I've contacted 31 and found 3, none of which has the car I want. Thanks for the replies though.

Phillip,

You might try checking the forum dealers section here:

http://forums.corvetteforum.com/forumdisplay.php?f=118

Many of them are selling at or below employee price. There is one located in Ohio and one located in Atlanta, Ga that might be close enough for you to consider.

With GM stock dropping like a rock, don't be surprised if they discontinue the program altogether!
