Holden Employee Discount

[salute the ute]

It's off the rrp so it's only a few thousand off the deals that they show on the website. Still a great deal though

 

[monkeys437]

it states the equivelant of 0-10 year service in that advert , which is not alot off...
it's based off RRP and not negotiable..if your not a good haggler it's probably your good way of buying...

it's just another way of advertising a few grand off the retail price and making it sound like they are doing you a favour...

From memory that was 25% off commodores and 20% off other cars when I was at GM

What a joke, just spoke to a dealer. Driveaway pricing.

MY12 With employee discount (with reversing camera and parking sensors - only applies to cars IN STOCK) = $34,500
MY12.5 (No employee discounts) = $38,990

Anybody remember the offer on SV6's for $34,990 not long ago? Hardly much better then that. Of course this is before haggling, but rather expensive. Especially the 12.5 which has nowhere near $4.k worth of extras.

Why is it a surprise?? Thats what car companies do - offer discounts on old or overstocked models. Same as you get a sale on last years plated vehicles every Jan/Feb.

All this so called employee discount sales guff is TOTAL crap, its the flashing sign of desperation.

I know a few guys who sell new cars, one at GM the other at Toyota. They are finding it hard (real hard) ever since end of financial year. One of them discribed it as thou a light switch had been switch OFF.

Best bet is to do your research on prices. carsales.com.au is awsome for this, pull another grand off that best price. Go into a dealer with your money, say this is what I want to pay today.

This is the trick. You must be willing to sign on the day. If the car I want is in stock even better (thats how I pic the dealer, dont forget the country dealers too, call around) go in at the end of month, they are keen to deal at the end of month to get the sale figures up.

You watch em jump at it. I hate carsale people, make them work for a living I say. :upyours:

I'm aware, but for a car very close to the end of its life, and nobody buying cars at the minute you would think they could try harder.

Pleeeeeeeeeeeeese dont take this the wrong way and no offence here mate, but I think the ball is in your court. Get into that dealer. Like I said before go in there and "TELL" what you will pay. Sticker price is for saps, if they wont deal walk out. They WILL call you, thats there job. Then tell them you want a MY12.5 for $34,500 and you will buy sign/today.

Bet you will get it, if your happy with that price thats is, pump them more I say. Get mats, tint and a tow bar as well.

Check this out, took me around 2 min to find this .
