Not that folks can't figure this out for themselves, but if anyone is wondering, there are screaming deals out there on Equinox EVs (and a lot of other EVs.) If you are aren't sure, this is your confirmation. We bought our 2nd one yesterday. I spent a couple of days calling dealerships earlier in the week. By Thursday, they were all calling me, and the price was falling by a $1k per call... The dealerships were eager to get into a battle with each other, and not shy about it. I named my price and they got there without hesitation. And GM tossed in another $1000 discount a couple of days ago.
I've only seen this kind of market once before, and that was when the economy locked up completely in 2008 or 9, when the dealerships were dumping everything they could for what every they could get just to keep the doors open.
I did get to speak to a couple of the places' GSMs and one owner. One of them freely admitted that EVs are now a problem and need to get sold NOW. All of them have hope that GM will come though with something to make up for the lost FTC (Like what they did for the Blazer EV when they lost it the first time around.) or Adjusted MSRPs. Some Volt owners remember that sting!!) I think they will have to do something, but I'm not sure the deals will get better than now.
Anyways, if you are in the market, or even close to it, this week is a great time to deal. I had to turn down 3 different deals that were all excellent because one dealership REALLY wanted my business.
