As it's done a few times in the past, GM is allowing each of its workers to bestow the gift of employee pricing to two additional persons of their choice. With sales painfully low, this move should come as a surprise to no one. Plus, these tactics work, to a degree, as the General's sales figures were actually a few percentage points better than its rivals during September when the Employee Discount for Everyone promotion was in full effect. With that in mind, you can still get a good deal on a GM vehicle just by asking around.<br /><br />[Source: <a href="http://www.detnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20081023/AUTO01/810230455/1148/rss25">The Detroit News</a>]<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/10/23/gm-letting-workers-hand-out-employee-pricing/">GM letting workers hand out employee pricing</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblog</a> on Thu, 23 Oct 2008 17:40:00 EST.

Apparently they could have been worse for General Motors if not for the employee pricing deal that <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/08/19/gm-brings-back-employee-pricing-for-all/">began on August 20th</a>. Though scheduled to end yesterday, the employee pricing deal has now been extended through the end of September and most 2009 models have now been included. The original deal extended to all 2008 models and only the 2009 Chevy Cobalt and HHR, Pontiac Vibe and G5 and Cadillac CTS. Dealerships are reporting that employee pricing helped clear out their inventories, especially trucks and SUVs, which were the most heavily discounted. We've already wasted hours perusing this <a href="http://www.gm.com/summersale/summersale.do">web page</a> that details what each GM vehicle will cost with employee pricing and any other incentives available. Looks like we'll be wasting a few more.<br /><br />[Source: <a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/rbssConsumerGoodsAndRetailNews/idUSN0350657320080903">Reuters</a>]<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/09/03/gm-extends-employee-pricing-for-another-month-adds-most-09-mod/">GM extends employee pricing for another month, adds most '09 models</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblog</a> on Wed, 03 Sep 2008 11:59:00 EST.

Not the least of which is on the Corvette, specifically the Z06 model, which we've had <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2005/01/11/you-want-more-z06-ill-give-you-more-z06/">nothing but good things</a> to say about, even at its $72K asking price. Now that GM is offering all of its models at employee prices, that cost drops by about ten grand! A Z06 for $62,653? Yes please... if only our meager blogging budgets would allow it. Similarly, a Caddy XLR-V can be had for $84,771.80 -- about a $15,000 discount.<br /><br />Need an SUV? May we suggest a Hummer H3 for about $23K? Those in the market for a luxury sedan could certainly do worse than a Cadillac STS-V for $66,640.88 after some $14K in savings. Of course, practical shoppers can take five-grand off their Saturn Aura XR sedan and end up paying just $21,634.28 for the privilege.
