Not sure that price is a good buy, but I'll admit I don't know the market for this car.

Herb Chambers has been running an ad in the paper "$6,500 off all Saturns" for weeks now as they try to close up shop at their last Saturn store. I just checked and they have three brand new ones from $29k-$34k MSRP. So what could you realistically get a brand new, zero-mile car for? I'd imagine that there is still a bit of room left in the $6,500 off offer, so maybe $7,500-8,000 off? or even more? I'd bet you might be able to buy something like that $29k car from a local dealer for closer to $20k than you think, if they have one left.

That of course assumes that this is a good idea, which I have no opinion on since I have never been in one.
