Lot's of words......................but no answers.
GM loyalty cash is a rebate directly from GM in an amount of $3000 - $6000 depending upong the model you're looking at on top of dealer and other rebates. My wife recently traded a GMC Yukon for a loaded Grand Prix and got $5000 loyalty cash plus a $2000 dealer discount and we got 0% financing for 3 years on the difference...................
And no, there are no foreign companies with similar discounts...........we looked at all of them................GM is simply really having a year end (model year) push to eliminate all the 2004's they can.................we got the Loqaded Grand Prix GT or whatever with every option they put on one for less than a comparable Avalon, or other import base model and no......it's not "plastic" looking or cheap looking and I guarantee you it handles and runs faster/better than any of them..........we drove them all before we bought!
