Default Enthusiast Cars Still Selling for Sticker Price

Enthusiast Cars Still Selling for Sticker Price

Jun 24th, 2009 by Ross Edwards

It’s no secret that new car sales are slow right now. Automakers and dealerships are offering unheard of incentives. Buy one get one free cars, 0% interest car loans, and huge price cuts are the norm, and you’d be crazy to buy most cars for anything more than a few thousand off the asking price. There are a few cars left that are still selling for MSRP though.

The Wall Street Journal talked to Edmunds.com to find out which cars are currently selling for the sticker price. The first group is obvious: low-volume sports cars made by Aston Martin, Lamborghini and Ferrari, as well as BMW’s high-performance M models are all being sold for asking price.

The Mini Cooper is also selling for sticker price. The Mini’s sporty image, BMW heritage, low price and unique styling make it popular with customers who might have picked a more expensive car in the past.

Newly released cars like the 2010 Toyota Prius and Chevrolet Camaro are both selling for the sticker price. Edmunds predicts that the 2010 Ford Taurus SHO, which is set to go on sale this summer, will also sell for close to asking price.
Read the rest of the story here so that I don't have to switch from Alpo to store brand food.

Bad news really, you can get great deals on all the cars you don't want, but if you're shopping for a Camaro or M3, you're not getting a discount.
