Sticker on a base 2008 G8 GT was around 28k. If you can find a new 2008 left-over at a dealer, the incentives right now are something like 7500 cash back alone. So if you found one for say 30k sticker, you could easily drive it off the lot for something like 20-21k. The big thing is negotiations. Bottom line is that the dealership marks up new cars 3-5k on average, some less. All incentives are reimbursements from the manufacturer and are NOT taken off by the dealer, so never let them tell you that the incentives are their mark down, as they still have their mark up in the car after the incentives are taken out. And always make sure you qualify for all incentives and rebates and that the salesman puts those in BEFORE you haggle on the price. You want to see how low on the car you can get before trying to get them to budge on their mark up. If you beat them up on the price, then ask about the incentives and rebates, they're most likely not going to give you everything you qualify for in the deal, then add them to the deal after you sign the paperwork and make money back that way. I think that's illegal, but all dealerships bend the rules to make money, because there is NO regulation on it. So if you can get a total of say 9k in incentives and rebates, then have them take 2k more off the car, you just saved 11k. The thing is not to try and steal the car from them. The salesmen make their living off commission, so make your focus on the incentives and rebates, as that doesnt affect the dealer invoice and salesman commission. The incentives for the 2009s aren't nearly as good, so they'd be more money.
