Take my 2007 VUE...please!

[Flybrian]

My local Saturn store has - no lie - 107 2007 VUEs on their lot. That is 50% of their total inventory. The other two in the county have ~50 and ~40 each, maybe 1/4 to 1/3 of their inventory.

Hmmm...

....maybe they know something others don't. We got wind of a $1,000 government rebate on E-85 compliant Impalas and orderd a gazillion of them. Now, dealers from all over are calling and begging for them. Plus, inventory that we have coming in now will have to last us until August or September, depending on ramp-up date of the 2008 models.

GM also pegs allotment of a hot new model based on what you sold of the previous year. This is forcing us to stock up on the current Malibu so that we have any chance of getting the '08 this year.

I remember a few years back we had about 40 Trackers come in - it was about this time of year. (Bare in mind we would probably sell 4 or 5 Trackers a month!) We thought the manager had lost his mind, but we did sell them eventually, AND we were one of the few dealers to get our hands on a lot of the Equinox when they first came out - and the 'Nox (despite whining and gnashing of teeth on this board) has consistently been a huge seller here.

saturn is still advertising the old vue. i think they just want to push as many of the old design through the system before the supply of new ones gets up to speed. the vue has always been popular....those 107 vues will sell just fine. what it does is allow saturn to sell a very inexpensive but high value vehicle. get a few sales from the bargain hunters.
