Saab regularly blows out this or that model. Two or three years ago it was the 9-2X. After that it was the 9-3. And now it's the 9-7's turn. Well, you can still get 0 for 72 on a Hummer.

I guess it's just price discounts instead of subventing interest rates this time around. FinanceGuy:

A friend bought a Saabaru 9-2X Aero (Loaded WRX Wagon) for $19,250. an absolute STEAL when comparable Subaru WRX wagons were selling in the $23K range. this brings back memories of the earlier Employee pricing days.

For the record, that $4.23 is going to save GM from financial ruin. We all know the dealer is going to throw a few thousand on top of that as well. As an observation, the Chevy dealer I drive past on my way to and from work has two lots. One used and one new cars. The used car side keeps getting emptier and emptier, while the new car side keeps getting more crowded. I am expecting a new infusion of used cars any day now as it was looking really sparse over there this morning. $20,004.23 for the cheapest Trailblazer.

The only reason a company would do this is to get some cash in the bank to pay the next due bill. I guess the next big idea will be to put the inventory on Ebay - but that will give the execs a reality shock when they see exactly what the market values their products at. Next to watch out for is suppliers being told that there's new (longer) payment terms. Clearly the message is “get what you can for the vehicles, never mind profit, just gimme some money”.

You can price one right here at TTAC, since they license TrueDelta's pricing engine. I'm not a fan of the 9-7X, but the Aero version with the 6.0 V8 might be of interest to some people here.

Maybe it will, at long last, sell. Up the road a piece, the Tawhore hybrid’s price has been reduced from $55K to about $50K and then there’s a $5K rebate… final price about $45K.
