requestion: I can get $7k in incentives on a 2010 Cobalt. My 2008 has 90k miles on it, 4.5k left to pay off and is probably worth $7k+ based on KBB - oblique Aug 24, 06:24 9
- so are you financing anything? or no? "have the cash" is different to "will use cash." - amanda "late sleeper" jones Aug 24, 06:29 5
  - maybe. It's $4k cash back on the 2010 (plus $3k in GM card earnings) so it's either pay cash or get my own financing - oblique Aug 24, 06:31 4
    - why "your own financcing"? do rates suck? (I would see what GMAC can get me. likely a very low rate.) -- nm - amanda "late sleeper" jones Aug 24, 06:37 3
      - I believe the incentive was for cash or self-financed but I'm checking with the dealer on that - oblique Aug 24, 06:41 2
        
        oh, well then yeah, credit union. totally do it. -- nm - amanda "late sleeper" jones Aug 24, 06:44 1
        
        Best part is. My kid starts driving in 5 years. I can get 5 out of a new 2010. I'm not sure I'd get 5+ out of the 2008 -- nm - oblique Aug 24, 06:49
- Sounds like a good deal. Might make more sense to sell your old car instead of trading it in, though. - TWuG Aug 24, 06:28 1
  - I'm not sure I'll find a new on the lot still (2010). The extra $4k in incentives is only on the 2010s -- nm - oblique Aug 24, 06:29

  - Maybe it hasn't completely rolled out, but when I go to post something, the lock has more choices under custom. It's nowhere near as nice the as G+ - TWuG Aug 24, 06:13
- Tend to believe this, Google+ might have made a dent in Facebook. Rise of Android prolly helps their cause -- nm - budice Aug 24, 06:07
