I don't think this would have swayed me to consider another GM car, but $3000 is more than I got in trade for my car. Um, I just got rid my 1999 Buick.

It looks like the msrp is increased so in reality you are barely saving $1000. Even with the discounts the prices are still inflated.

Wouldn't it make more sense to offer a $3000 discount to anyone who trades in a NON-GM vehicle?
