GM Dealers Offering Huge Discounts
GM has an incentives program that pays dealers cash bonuses at the end of each quarter IF they manage to sell at least one extra vehicle compared to the quarter from a year earlier.
The cash bonus is about $175 for each vehicle sold during the quarter. A dealer that sells 100 cars per month would get a bonus of around $50,000 if they qualify.
Think about that for a second. This is a win-or-lose bonus; a dealer either gets the entire bonus or gets nothing. Now imagine if a high-volume dealer only needs to sell a few more vehicles this month to qualify - they would literally be willing to give away the vehicles for free.
Here's where it gets even better. Last year around this time, GM had been offering large incentives, so sales this quarter are down about 2% compared to the same time last year. The majority of GM dealers are at risk of losing out on this bonus.
The quarter ends on March 31st. I urge you to contact as many GM dealers as possible between now and the end of the month and get as many price bids as you can. It's quite possible that you'll run into one or two dealers that need a few extra sales to hit this bonus. If you do, you're sure to land an incredible deal - and I'd love to hear about it.
A quick and easy way to get prices from multiple dealers is to use the free CarWoo Tool.
