Yearend Pricing on 2003's when is best time?

Don't know where you live, but here in the SF Bay area, the rebates between the manufacturer and dealer are $5,000 for an L series and $3250 for an ION or Vue.

I should have clarified - we have multi-rebates here:

$3,500 - which I think is for paying cash & not taking advantage of their low interest loan program $1,500 - I forget what that rebate is for ... $2,000 - this is the 'Holiday Rebate' $1,000 - for being a recent University graduate

For a total of $7,000 in rebates (Canadian funds)

Thing is - if they crank up the rebates even further into January - then I'll wait until then.

For a while there were like 5 different rebates available. If you were a recent graduate, who joined the military, and were a current Oldsmobile owner, you could get up to $5500 off of an L series. But the important thing to remember is that Saturn does not discount prices!

There is no alternative to the continuance of rebates and discounts, unless they can find some fleet buyers such as rental car companies. Rental car companies are perfect candidates for Saturn. Since they change their fleet every year they don't care about reliability. Resale value is an issue, but if they pay low enough prices up-front, then the resale value is less of an issue.
