This is odd because you can't get a deal from them. Even in this unsure
financial climate, a local salesman said Toyota Canada wasn't offering
incentives to clear the left over '08 stock... but the dealer would drop
the price by $500.00. I almost laughed in his face....

I posted to rec.autos.gm about this, and a Cannuck who works at the
Oshawa plant said Impala sales were actually up. I saw a slew of them
on a recent road trip.
Much is up in the air, and nobody has a clue what will happen.
Maybe that's a good thing.

If you needed a new car right now, would you buy one from a company
teetering on the brink?

Depends on model and price. How much off of invoice? If less than 30% of
invoice on a desired model, wouldn't consider it. Also needs to be a high
volume model so after market parts are easy.

If they don't want to sell it for that, wait until chapter 11 becomes
chapter 7 and I will get it for 1/2 price or less.

And another 15% off because I will pay in full on delivery, Amex, Visa or
cheque.
