Every brand new Chevy I have picked up for nearly half MSRP
My father got a new diesel Chevy pickup half price in the 80’s
He got a tdi Automatic half price in 2004
I got my new Cobalt nearly half price
Then the Volt
Now I’m looking at either a $2500 PIP or a $9999 BMW I3 Rex to replace the Cobalt as a second car, it’s not new but the BMW was a $60,000 car, sadly I can’t justify the inevitable BMW priced repairs.
Anyway
I think it’s their business model, early adopters pay full price and then some, those who wait, nag and haggle get killer deals on what’s left over
Key is to be patient, not need credit, know how and when to haggle
And not have your heart set on any particular options or even model.
I do remember some friends getting half price Ford F150’s circa 2008, so I don’t think it’s a particular vehicle that gets the deals.
Lots of brand new $7000 Mirages every year as well.
If I was interested in a truck I bet I could get a new one half price again but none of those models much interest me.
