This is no different from any other rebate that GM has been running for years. People come to expect rebates, and they wait until the rebates show up to buy. That's why GM has to offer rebates on all cars, and why they are losing money hand over fist.
As Rafe says, this bring the cost down to where it was with rebates last summer. This is just a different name for a rebate. It's just marketing - instead of calling it a rebate, they market it as something different. Anything to get people into the showroom.
How does this impact re-sale price? It keeps it down resale prices. Just the same as rebates. No different.
What does it tell you? Wait for the low prices.
