Too bad they don't have anything that I'd want...
Short-term, Ford will have to respond by keeping their rebates high. But I can't help but wonder how this will play out for GM in the long run. Seems pretty desperate to me.

The hugh discounts and rebates will help clear out the current stock but each good deal eliminates a customer for the new model coming out. Then they have to heavily discount them and it goes on and on.
The $5,000 rebate I got on my truck from dealer invoice means it will be a long time before I will be in the market for a replacement.

It's...ummm...extraordinary. A couple of points:
1. Dealership participation is voluntary
2. I see a licence to steal trades right here.
3. If you played it right, and were vaguely interested in a GM product, it could be a heckuva deal. About $1500 below invoice on a Duramax Crew less a $3000 rebate, less FTE discount
. Wowsa.

savings from GMS offer
I just pulled a Tahoe LT 4X4 Invoice arbitrarily. This is a Loaded Moonroof/DVD/Navigation/XM Radio/CD changer kind of truck. MSRP is $50690, GMS is $42861 less $3000 rebate. Invoice was $45029.
Then I pulled a HD2500 4X4 Crew Cab Duramax. This one is a LT package with everything on it but a Moonroof (Heated Leather, memory, Power everything) MSRP $47851, GMS is $40550.75 less $3000 rebate. Invoice was $42592.20.
That ain't shabby.

You sure would be more than a little bit frustrated if you purchased a Chevy on the 31st of May...
Yes...and no. If you were in the market for a 'Burb or a Tahoe, the rebates were $2000 higher last month. Even with GMS, you were better off then. If you were in the market for a Duramax truck, you are much better off now. Some of us kind of knew this in advance, though, and advised clients accordingly. This was one of the few times GM released advance info for next months rebates.
