Get GM Discount on More Than 80 Vehicles

GM has begun offering preferred GM Supplier discount pricing to NAHB members on more than 80 General Motors vehicles — including Chevrolet, Pontiac, Buick, GMC, Oldsmobile, Cadillac, Saturn, HUMMER (except H1) and Saab passenger cars, light duty trucks, vans and SUVs — as part of NAHB’s Member Advantage discount program.

The GM Supplier pricing program is available to members who purchase or lease 2004, 2005 or 2006 model-year vehicles.  

Through the program:

  • NAHB members can get preferred supplier pricing on all eight GM nameplates.
  • GM Supplier pricing is compatible with most current consumer GM incentive programs, including the GM Business Choice program for commercial vehicles.
  • NAHB members will receive their authorization codes and program details via direct mail from GM.


For details, go to www.gmfleet.com/nahb.

The GM Supplier pricing program runs through Jan. 3, 2006.
