Few Pontiacs Remain, But No Great Deals

PontiacEver since General Motors announced plans to discontinue its Pontiac by the end of this year, the brand's inventory has been steadily shrinking. Now, with less than two months left, only about 3,600 Pontiacs still remain on the market.

Among the fastest selling models include the Pontiac G8, the Solstice, and Coupe. Of the G8 GXP, there are only 16 cars left to be sold nationwide. Others aren't far behind. No more than 23 SCCA Convertibles, 139 base model Coupes, and 160 Coupe GXPs remain.

Customers may have better luck getting their hands on some of the slightly less popular models, but even those numbers are depleting rapidly: there are just 400 Torrent SUVs and 1,500 G5s left now for consumers to buy.

Unfortunately for buyers, there's little indication that the Pontiac discontinuation will mean amazing last-minute deals on the brand's models. Unlike the Oldsmobile, which GM retired in 1992, the last Pontiacs seem to be clearing nicely enough without much need for incentives. Unless circumstances change as the year closes, there is little reason for buyers to expect great savings on the brand.






3 Steps Every Car Buyer Needs to Take to Save Maximum Money

The key to getting the best deal is to gather price or lease bids from as many local dealers as possible. Then shop that best price around until no one can beat it. Here are the steps:

Step 1 Get Prices From My Trusted Network

Select the vehicle you're interested in to see if there are local dealers in my network who will provide you with their best upfront price. You will get direct access to an internet sales manager who you can further negotiate with online (no need to visit dealership).

Step 2 Get Prices From TrueCar / CarsDirect

TrueCar, and CarsDirect are my top 2 online price quote recommendations. These services show you pre-negotiated prices from dealers closest to you - and the deals are usually pretty decent. But remember, you can still negotiate further.
