Re: 04/05 GTO sales #

Total sales of all '04/'05 GTO's thru last week was 21,420?

Somehow, I thought it would be more than that.

Sounds low to me too.

Might want to go to GM's media site, and tabulate the numbers from there.

They weren't '03 GTOs. They were the number of '04 GTOs actually sold in 2003.

The cars started production in September or October 2003, and after sitting on the docks in Oz, being shipped to the US, then sitting on our docks, then shipped to whereever they were going, it was already mid December 2003, and dealers were in full-on rape and pillage mode on pricing.

As a result, the 1st month GTO was on sale (December, 2003) just 79 were sold.

Re: 04/05 GTO sales #

No offense, but cars produced and cars sold are two different things. There are still some unsold 04's out there. Those "sold" numbers posted look reasonable to me.

Re: 04/05 GTO sales #

Those numbers do seem kind of low. Hell, GM threw on a twin-scoop hood and an LS2 engine and the people still aren't happy?

Yeah, just goes to show how stupid some people are. Most people said the '04s were slow and needed real looking dual exhaust, and hood scoops. Well, the General added 50hp, bigger brakes, hood scoops, split dual exhaust and everyone still isn't happy. I for one love these cars!

OK, final answer:

His numbers match GM's figures (I checked with GM's media site).

21,420 total GTO deliveries as of close of July.

There still seem to be around 2,000 2004 GTOs out there unaccounted for, which is not unexpected. Collectively, GM dealers were still selling brand new 2002 Camaros as recently as a year and a half ago.

Strangely, 2000 cars from the previous year unsold around this time in the year isn't really alot of left overs.


BTW: For all you "You can't sell RWD cars in the Northeast" crowd, I'll have you know that California is GTO's second biggest market...... behind Michigan!

1357 '04 GTOs found their way to Michigan while the Golden State gobbled up 1099.

When I get a chance, I'll take a peek at the area breakdown of the Chrysler LX cars.
