$300-500 doesn't even cover the salesman's commision. How do you
suppose the dealer pays for the building, taxes, the lights so you can shop at night, the guy who keeps the car clean, etc. Some profit is essential for a retailer to stay in business, they aren't supported by your tax dollars. That said, I'm all for getting the best deal you can! Your buying technique is the most effective one out there, btw.

If it weren't for the plastic panels, what would make my Saturn better
than any other car? I've bought a couple of replacement Saturns because they still look pretty good after several years, while the metal paneled cars are all dinged up. Without plastic panels, there is no significant reason for me to choose Saturn over another brand. Buster <snip> > >What's so great about polymer panels that you "must" have them?

GM is making a BIG mistake here with a car feature/trademark but they have been making a lot of mistakes on a lot of things so this is no surprize. And people wonder why they are loosing more market share every day. It is all about building them cheaper not better. ----------------- TheSnoMan.com |

In addition to my Saturn I have a '95 Fleetwood with the same basic power train and probably an extra 1k pounds of weight. I regularly get 27mg on the hi way running 70 ~ 75. In town runs around 17 so the Saturn sure is kinder to the pocket book there. Steve B. |
