In 2007 I was looking at the Saturn Relay vans, and wandered into the chevy dealer, the salesman asks what I'm interested in and first thing I said was, I'm just looking at the Chevy Uplanders, do you have any? He said not any new ones, but they had a purple 2005 model that was forgotten about. so he has a porter drive it up, only had 12 miles on it, smelled new, looked new, and next thing I know the guy's washing it!
I told the salesguy, I'm only looking. He said it needed a good wash anyway.
So my wife looks and loves the color. great. We're now inside, the guy said he's a manager and can definetely make this our van today! So I said, well a van 2 years old should have one [censored] of a price on it. He said, well it does! Sticker price.
Not that I wanted that model, knowing the 2005's had issues, but he wouldn't deal. said it has full factory warranty blah blah blah and it's NEW so there's no reason to discount it. But he'd give $1000 off. I said, well.. NO.
Went to Saturn found an 2006 Relay we really liked and left with it the same day. That van's been solid and gets awesome gas mileage!
But it was a year old, and the salesguy said, they had them in the back because the Vue's were selling off the lot at the time.
But when that slowed down they brought 7 Relay's out for display. Had them idling in the lot to charge the battery. Well we found ours, still original battery .. sliding door doesn't always latch correctly, worn out cinching guide. Someday I'll fix it. But no deals for us.. and the Saturn.. no deals. they gave us a little extra for the trade-in.
