I got my new 2007 SMV Aveo5 at the end of January. After all the rebates ($500-dealer rebate, $1250-GM rebate for being a 2007, and a $2000 rebate for having a GM credit card) I paid a grand total of ........$6860 plus tax !!! (sticker was $10,600)
So far I've tinted the windows (20% front, 5% back), added a factory rear wing, added cruise control (with the help from this site), and just put in a JVC head unit with a 10" Infinity powered sub. In the summer, I'll add A/C, put in some lowering springs and add some rims. In the future, maybe a turbo.
