only thing that makes me scratch my head about the yellow one is it's a supercharged with sunroof and leather full loaded but it has no fog lights like an LS just the holes and the covers.I mean I hardly used my foglights when I had them cause I had hid's but it's nice to know I had them.

Don't go to Saturn of Gurnee. I looked at one they had sitting around for god knows how long. It was an 05 SS with that Berry metallic paint with silver ground effects. It also had a Borla after market exhaust that wasn't even rusted. Looked nice but didn't drive too well. It had around 43k miles on it. They were horrible people to deal with, the manager went on the test drive with us and admitted something wasn't right and still wouldn't come down on the price. I was never so insulted in my life. So again, I walked. Shoot, if this was a new car you were shopping for - you would not have any problems, but used cars GRRRR!

Hopefully the dealer comes down on the supercharged 05 you're looking at.
I got a great deal on my Monte because it sat on the dealership lot so long. I think I was the first person who seriously inquired about it in a long time. So they were desperate to get rid of it. Another Monte just like it, on the same lot, sat there for another month before they sent it off to auction.
Maybe the dealership will see your insurance payout as "guaranteed" money (no credit involved), and will be willing to deal with you. Maybe they're at the point where they're tired of seeing that car on their lot taking up space. Which would work in your favor.
As for the insurance company, what kind of crap is that? The same year, make, model, and mileage??? They always seem to know when they have you by the stones. They know you need another car immediately. So they're taking your loaner away to pressure you into taking their first offer.
Then they're taking your old car away. They haven't even paid you for it, and they're taking posession of it? I know why they do it. Pressure tactic, and to keep you from taking parts off of it. I'm sure all the insurance companies do it. But I still think it's wrong though. Try taking posession of your new car before making any kind of payment to the dealership, and see how far you get.

Last year when we were looking for a car for my girlfriend Deb we looked at a yellow '03 SS the place I bought my '06 LTZ at had.
They wanted $14k for this car with close to 62k miles on it. I called the salesguy I talked to when we test drove the yellow '03 and asked if they would at least price match the '03 Pace car we did buy which was listed at $10,900. He said no they wouln't.
That's fine.
They still have the yellow '03 SS by the way.

Someone has a lawsuit against them to get their Monte fixed. Your car came available and they plan on using it to get their @$$es out of hot water.
