GM extends worker discounts for public

DETROIT, July 5 (UPI) -- General Motors Corp. said Tuesday it was continuing its popular promotion offering employee discounts to the public through July.

As with its June program, the July offer lets buyers pay the price a GM employee pays for a 2005 model year vehicle, including available rebates, but excluding taxes, title and dealer fees.

Prices are prominently displayed on eligible vehicles at participating GM dealers and on a company Web site.

The June program helped GM achieve more than a 40-percent sales increase last month.

The promotion includes all 2005 GM cars and trucks, except for Chevrolet Corvette, Pontiac GTO and medium-duty trucks, and is in addition to most other incentives currently available.
