2005 Chevy Blazer

Ok, spawned from my previous thread...

Blazers currently have a $7000 rebate + whatever the dealership is willing to knockoff.

I'm a recent high school graduate so they'll pay my first two payments up to $600 each.

Plus I have a coupon and other jazz that is worth $2000 ($2500 in other thread is including student discount)

So lets extrapolate, in Canadian dollars...

MSRP - $27,095
- $7000 rebate
- $1000 dealership knockoff
- $2000 in coupon
= 17,095 + 900 for freight then 1.07 for tax = $19254
/ 24 for two years of payments = $802.25/mo...but GM pays $600 off the first two payments...

Final cost = $18054

Blackbook trade in on these guys is $24,000...

thoughts?
 
Two reasons not to get one.
1. It will drop in value like a rock.
2. Payments+Insurance+Gas would break most people's bank accounts.

I wouldn't try making money off buying a new car. If you can get this deal, someone else already has and their value will tank.

Hardly. Black/blue book values are nothing more than guidelines. And often times take time to catch up to current rates.

Dealers (and most buyers) aren't dumb. They take into account current rebates and promotions and will adjust trade in values accordingly. GM has discounted so hard for so long that resale/trade in values on vehicles are at an all time low. You'd be lucky to break even after paying freight and sales tax which you won't get back in the resale price.

so it has CD, AC and a 4.3L V6 making 190bhp and 250ft-lb of torque. the MSRP of $27k is a joke. the "employee discount" is a marketing scheme. if im in the market for a small SUV, this will blow the blazer out of the water.
