any thoughts?
I agree...over $28k and Im rethinking...ilber said:Hi.
with all due respect. 30k for the base sky rl? Forgive me for being blunt ...but the hell with it! I mean i love the lines of the body and a turbo equiped version seemes a nice buy for UNDER 30k. if it is 30k, well I know I will be walking, not because I can't afford it but simply I think I can spend my 35k+ tax (I estimate whith the option that I want) on something BETTER. So there is issue of pricing the product right... underpriced kappa? I don't think it is! It is a good value... all things considered, but at 30k+ NOT!

I think you will see around the 2500.00/3000.00 range. After you subtract the difference of the thing's that come standard with the GXP from the 5,000.00 price you come up with 2545.00 for the turbo only on the GXP.Blue Sky said:GM has already said they will not allow dealer premiums and they will be keeping an eye on the dealers. As for their pricing with the limited allowcation they are having an extra 1-2000 on SKY pricing will not impact the bottom line at all.
I would anticpate that since the GXP is a 5K add with some features the base did not have plus turbo. We can expect the 4 - 5K range. Base Sky already had more features.
I am hoping that is does not come in above 28k. However, look at some of the numbers below.ilber said:Hi.

Except Saturn has made a point of stating that Redlines will not marked up. I am not sure how they are enforcing that though.Dond said:I think 30K or the about will be the MSRP for the RL but as I stated in a previous post on this thread, the dealers will most likely add a premium to the MSRP based on the supply and demand, at least on the initial orders. Sooo
35K is not unexpected. The pontiac dealers in central Florida already have a 5K add on for the Solstis and are getting it. I hope the price stays around 30K but I wouldn't hold my breath.
If you take the 5,000.00 extra for the GXP and subtract the thing that are standard with the GXP but not the base Solstice you come up with a price of 2445.00 for the turbo only. That's a darn good price for 260 hp.richmcc said:I am hoping that is does not come in above 28k. However, look at some of the numbers below.
The GXP RL is ~25,500 so it is 5k more than Solstice. Subtract 400 for AntiLock Brakes since they are already Standard on the Sky that means a 4600 bump, which puts the Sky at 28,000.
Have you looked at the Sky RL has a quite a features that Sky does not besides the Turbo

LSD is included -$195
Chrome Wheels -$595. Since Polished is included.
So if you are calculating at these options you need to do so at partial price
I am not sure how all of that works out in the calculation of the price though
Depends on your dealer. Deluke for example is getting a sweet deal on her Sol from her dealer.SkyBos said:Sell it yourself FOR SURE.
The difference between trading and selling on your own would be several thousand dollars.
