Smart buyers would say that it is insane to buy a Pontiac car right now. General Motors, backed by its largest and most important shareholder, the US government, will clearly back the warranty, so it seems clear that Pontiac is the way to maximize your buying dollars in a market that is crammed with deals.
Taking a sample of prices from the Internet, Pontiac offers some of the best deals in the classes of cars in which they compete. Interestingly, the consensus view in the trade is that the brands GM has sold, such as Saab and Hummer, pose a much greater risk to the consumer than Pontiac.
In addition to the financial benefits of buying a Pontiac, there is the added impact of nostalgia associated with the final production year.
Collectors of all cars are looking forward to the countdown to the production of the various vehicles with the Pontiac insignia because it is clear that there will be an instant premium associated with the last few hundred of each model produced.
And of course, rumors continue to circulate when it comes to General Motors’ possible alternative plans for the division and some of its key models. There is no question of the success of the Pontiac G8, as it clearly follows in the footsteps of Pontiac’s tradition of affordable, sporty family cars that can also provide some excitement.
For the true American car enthusiast, it’s quite ironic that the G8 is made in Australia rather than Detroit, but it certainly indicates the general international nature of the auto industry these days.
Another tip out there is to buy any of last year’s Pontiacs and store it in a safe place and reap the benefits seven to ten years later. The key to this strategy is that everything is in perfect original condition. It’s remarkable to see how many current collectible cars are selling at a significant premium (even taking into account the lower value of the dollar) to their original tag price.
Imagine rolling around town 10 years from now in a flawless 2010 Pontiac G8. The latest and greatest irony is that by all accounts these new Pontiacs have been superbly built to rival those in Germany or Japan, so it’s not It is unreasonable to assume that they will remain in excellent working order for many years.
It is clear that acquiring a Pontiac has many advantages if you have the financial means to do so right now. As noted above, how much better does a guarantee get than a direct guarantee from the US government?
Sales are anticipated to increase as the final production date approaches, so it makes sense to start doing your research to determine which model and dealer can offer you the best value in this market and make your move now instead of. waiting until next year’s deadline approaches.
