Sadly prices are higher than ever

But new bolts are $20,000 if you meet the sales discount requirements

If the $12.500 becomes retroactive this FY you are talking an $7500 new car.
If the remedy has been released for 17/18, it was within the past couple days. The '19 model year had the remedy available a month ago. Inventory hasn't increased so far, in fact it's the lowest ever.

My guess is they are backlogged on applying the remedy and prepping for sale. GM pays dealerships to mothball the cars during the stop sale. It's unclear how long GM is willing to make payments to mothball the inventory.

I expect a flood of cars in the coming months, hopefully coinciding with declining used car prices.
