GM spokeswoman Deborah Silverman told the news agency the automaker has also cut the basic cash rebate on most of its 2004 model cars and trucks by $500, to $3,500 and $4,500 respectively.


Customers financing their purchase of a 2004 model through GM’s finance arm would also be eligible for an additional “bonus cash” offer of between $500 and $1,500, Silverman reportedly said.


The bonus cash programme varies by region of the country and by model, she told Reuters, but in some cases, consumers could get a total cash rebate of up to $6,000 on vehicles from the 2004 model year.


The basic rebate on most 2005 cars and trucks, which are just now making their way into dealership showrooms, is $1,000, according to Reuters.
