Smart Buying Essentials

GM Price update

Only at IntelliChoice.com, can automotive shoppers find comparison data that shows the "before and after" effect of GM's across-the-board reductions in manufacturers suggested retail price (MSRP) for more than 400 GM 2006 models.

"GM's price cuts are a big part of the company's turnaround strategy" said James Bell, publisher of IntelliChoice.com. "But our analysis shows that GM's MSRP reductions for 2006 models do not always add up to a lower price. For instance, when you look at the Cadillac STS, the actual invoice for two of the three models goes up more than $400, while a third model actually drops $700. And if a rebate is phased out or reduced, then the purchase price increases for the consumer, even if the MSRP has dropped."

"IntelliChoice.com's analysis shows the overwhelming importance of thorough research for potential buyers," added Bell. "Our message is, 'Let the buyer beware.' Before car buyers run to their nearest GM dealer, they should go to www.intellichoice.com to get the IntelliChoice Target Price on the GM vehicle they're shopping for."
