The lower ATP is coming from the dealers who can not fetch over MSRP anymore. The slightly lower ATP is not affecting GM as much as the dealers. GM is still getting the full pricing they charge the dealers. The super good days are coming to an end for the over MSRP
Right on what dumbass is going to spend 5 large over MSRP on last years model?
Your stupid to pay even MSRP on a 22 this time of year unless you are hard up for that vehicle, shop far and wide and you will find that better deal.
Maybe if they lower there prices they would sell more vehicles as it is now no one can afford to buy at the prices that you are asking
