Default Anyone still paying over sticker for a G8?

Just happened to drop by the dealer today and saw two 2009 G8s, one black and the other blue, the blue looked damn sharp btw! I can't remember exactly what the "market adjustment" bs was for them but the sticker ended up being a little over 38k for them both. Has anyone else seen these cars for over stick? I could maybe see this happen when they were first released but these have been out for a while now, anyone else run into this?

In today's market, any dealer that thinks he's going to get a mark-up is idiotic.

went to a dealer yesterday in wichita and they had nine 2009 G8 GT's on the lot. the guy was practically begging me to test drive one. said I could 'take it to dinner' and feel it out.

they are also offering Employee pricing, which was about $2500 off sticker not bad for no negotiation.

I would love to go test drive one, but i would hate to tease myself since i don't have the cash. I noticed a local dealer still has a brand new '08 GT in ignition orange i believe on ebay for $32K but it now. I wish i had some money to go in there and try to steal it for below 30K out the door.

One of the places here had several the other day when my wife and I dropped in for a test drive. We could have had any of them for below $30k. Very nice ride and I think my wife is going to get one as her next ride.

You can buy them at employee pricing now. Too many are sitting around on lots, just like all cars.

called a few dealers yesterday and they said even if you have a credit over 725 the best interest rate would be 6.9%, told them to keep it.

hell my last two vehicles were 0%, but opted for the 1.9% and rebates.


if anyone in houston knows a better place then baytown and alvin with better interest rates, post up.
