    Reminds me of a line from a Bett Midler movie: "I've been reduced to Kmart" bargain bottom pricing it sounds like, no one here in Orlando took delivery of the ones ordered either.

    WOW... ironic concept don't tag an additional $25,000.00 onto something that 2 weeks after they show up at the dealership you can order a 2009 for MSRP.

    And the state has a "gouging hotline" for gasoline what about car dealerships?????

    "The hand writing has always been on the wall". Now Dealers are panicking because the 09s are hitting the floors and the 08s are now considered a year old. As far as the08s having a special value. Well you can't prove that to me. Not when I went to sell my numbered Daytona Charger and took a bath on it. No special resale value to it. Once you get burned it's hard to prove it again. As the wise old man said "A fool is soon parted with his money". A lesson to be learned...

    Years ago I spent maybe 6 hours fighting with a stealership getting a new Astro van. I thought I finally did pretty good, bought the thing and stopped on the way home at a friends house that was a former car salesman to brag. He let me finish and laughed saying "you didn't get over on them, you just didn't get screwed as badly as you could have been".

    May they all rot..................................

    Do you think the failed "Bailout" had anything to do with the dealership's ad?

    If auto loans get tight, many dealerships might be not far from shutting their doors.
    They will be trying to shed their inventory, and fast.

    Terry- You have a good point... Seems like they've already started closing the doors around here....either that or they're moving...?? I dunno.
