Here are a few reasons. The Buick Lucerne is overpriced to start with and since it's price is up in stater Lexus territory GM has been trying to goose it's sales with huge rebates and dealer incentives. Obviously the factory has more dollars to play with in rebates on a car that lists for twice the one you are looking at. I doubt rebates on an impala rarely go over $1500 and probably max out at $2000.
Plus look at the simple math. If the markup for a domestic product is roughly 10% then that Lucerne had about a $4000 margin for the dealer. Your impala would only have about a $2000 margin.
You are the kind of customer that drove me crazy when I was a sales manager because you are so far from reality you can't be worked with.
