GM Brings Back Employee Pricing

It's ready to clear out its remaining 2008 models--so General Motors is offering shoppers its employee discount to move the metal.

GM says effective now through September 2, you'll be able to get the same price a GM employee would get for a 2008 model-year vehicle--or even some 2009 model-year GM cars and trucks. All GM's brands are included, too: Chevrolet, Pontiac, Buick, GMC, Saturn, Cadillac, Saab and HUMMER.

The company says it's celebrating its 100th anniversary with the move, but with a big $15.5 billion loss in the second quarter and sales dropping all this year, it's more likely a spur to move minds on to the 2009 model year.

Excluded from the deal are 2008 medium duty trucks--but in exchange, some 2009s, including the Chevrolet Cobalt and HHR, Cadillac CTS, Pontiac Vibe and G5 are in on the pricing deal. 2008 Cadillac DTSEnlarge PhotoIt's ready to clear out its remaining 2008 models--so General Motors is offering shoppers its employee discount to move the metal.
