I don't know the local facts, but government cars are often bought under a large-volume, multi-municipality contract. There may be less of a premium payment than we know about in our urge to watch our tax dollars. One might also ask, is Parking Enforcement a net-profit organization, like the IRS and the Motor Vehicle Bureau? It was key to me that the Premier did not force me to buy a sunroof I didn't want or a Navigation package I didn't want. It seems likely that Chevy doesn't make as many of the lower-profit LTs, nor do the dealers pre-order as many.
