GM has announced a series of schemes which should help overall sales and also get rid of remaining Pontiac and Saturn products.  “In what is equivalent to a year-end fire sale, GM sent letters to dealers Dec. 23 saying it would pay them $7,000 for every new Saturn or Pontiac on their lot that is moved to rental-vehicle or service-vehicle fleets operated by the dealers. Dealers can then sell the vehicles at a more attractive price, though they must be described to customers as used because the dealers technically will be the vehicles’ first owner.…If a dealer passes along all the new incentive to a customer, Pontiac’s cheapest vehicle, the G3 compact, could go for about $8,000, or 46% off the sticker price of about $15,000.”
