That's interesting... $1500 rebate for cars that are classified as demo. Why don't dealers do this for all cars? There must be a limit to this (probably based on the number of salesmen or executives of the dealer). Does it work by mileage, and they just fudged the miles? The X-fire is a good candidate for this kind of "bookworkery" (No dealer holdback an all). I was at another dealer Saturday looking at a black automatic. I said I would not be interested until there is a reasonable factory incentive and some negotiating room. He took my name and number and said he would call if anything sprouts up. He then told me that the car was so nice, he'd himself put 100 miles on it. Doh!... that screams demo pricing to me. Any more than 10 miles or so and I says it's a demo. I know he's going to call and offer up something. Wait until I tell him I know about the demo rebate. Heh Heh..I won't bite unless it was ~$700 over invoice, plus the rebate ($700 over dealer cost). Call me cheap. If that's not good enough he'll need to sit on it until June when the weather warms up.
BTW, I can't believe they even sell cars without all-season tires in Wisconsin. this should be a requirement for cars sold in this area. (Not that I'd drive it in the winter, but if you live on the edge of the seasons, it's good in a pinch)
