#44 of 88 You can do better by netnerd May 05, 2002 (4:26 am)
I agree that you should be able to get a better deal than their offering you. I got my RDV for $200 over invoice. It had 210 miles on it (from demos and from a transfer from another dealer).   Shop around and just ask dealers for the best price they can give you on the exact package you want.
#45 of 88 Passed on Demo - Got A Better Deal! by ramblewood May 06, 2002 (8:04 am)
We took all of your advice and looked around after the original dealer would not budge on the price for 6K mile demo. We ended up with a new, non-demo fully loaded RDV CXL (minus 6 disc CD and towing package) for $200 under invoice with 229 miles (had been transferred from another dealer). In addtion, the color is pewter with the dark bronzemist metallic lower accent color which we had not seen anywhere during our rather exhaustive search for a RDV.
#46 of 88 Congratulations, Ramblewood! by netnerd May 06, 2002 (10:02 am)
Sounds like you got a great deal!
#47 of 88 Got one ... ;) by jk27 May 06, 2002 (1:54 pm)
First, ppalonsky, thanks for your prompt reply (post 40).   The dealer had to search to find the color we wanted (Pewter Metallic, Graymist cladding, gray leather interior) and the sticker price changed a bit. New 2002 CXL with Luxury Package (1SE), 6 disc CD changer (UC6), 3rd row seat (AJ2), and sunroof (CF5): MSRP: $35,585. Dealer sold it for $32,850 which is $95 more than Edmunds "True Market Value" in our area. Total price after rebate: $30,850. Thanks again for the posts here, which definitely helped!
#48 of 88 Looking for pricing on a CX, FWD w/versatility package by maggieot Jun 11, 2002 (2:28 pm)
This forum is incredibly helpful! I feel like I have test driven every SUV on the market and had not found anything I liked. I was ready to purchase a beater and drive it for a couple years in the hopes that something better would come out soon. On the advice of a loved one, I test drove a Rendezvous last night and fell in love! I am looking to buy a CX, FWD with the versatility package. I can do without the 6 disc in dash changer and the sun roof. I did the Edmunds TMV thing but am still confused (sorry - I'm young and this is my first new car purchase experience). Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!!
#49 of 88 Pricing on a CX by jk27 Jun 11, 2002 (7:01 pm)
For comparison, I purchased a loaded CXL for almost $5K less than sticker price (after $2k rebate). I recommend you use Edmunds to price the car (and options) you want. Determine what the invoice price for the dealer is. That's your target price. If you can get it for invoice ... go for it. Usually, they will only sell above, but the closer to invoice, the better. Some people on this board set $200 over invoice as a goal. I found True Market Value to be extremely accurate in my area. Edmunds TMV for my vehicle was $95 less than what I ended up paying for it (before rebate). I was pretty impressed with how accurate TMV was. Perhaps some others who purchased CX's with versatility package can comment.   Oh, and don't dismiss the 6 CD changer immediately. You get an upgraded speaker package with that package and it is, without a doubt, the best stereo system I've ever owned -- or even heard in any vehicle! Not having to shuffle/change CD's is very nice (and safer). Good luck!
#50 of 88 What I paid. by kathy912 Jun 14, 2002 (3:50 am)
25,490 before rebate for CX with versatility package and I got them to throw in the roof rails. THis vehicle has 1,000 miles on it so I was able to get it under invoice. I almost bought the same vehicle with mudflaps and pinstriping for $900 more so I am happy.
#51 of 88 Canadian CX price with GM discount by chauhan Jul 16, 2002 (6:51 pm)
Hi, Wondering if anybody has any idea what the base CX price is with GM employee discount. Does the dealer has to mention for sure that it is a GM employee price. I am asking because i am being quoted 29500 without 1SC package and it is very different than what "enniskillen" posted above.

If GM employee plans are the same as in the U.S., there you have two options:   GMO is when you order the vehicle from the factory and GMS is when you buy from dealer stock.   For GMO, multiply the MSRP of the vehicle by .86 + MSRP of options by .82 + full destination fee to get a reasonable estimate of the GM employee price.   GMS is typically a few hundred dollars more than GMO to compensate the dealer for lot fees.   Don't forget to add any incentives currently available...you get them too!   Of course you have to request a GM employee purchase certificate, which comes in a packet with documents that fully explain the GM employee purchase plan rules.   If the dealer wants to honour your certificate, he will tell you so. If he agrees, then there is no room to negotiate the deal with you. He has a computer that automatically calculates GMO and GMS pricing and he should provide you with a printout that details the cost of the exact RDV you are considering.   Good Luck!
#53 of 88 chauhan - U.S. dollars example by fedlawman Jul 18, 2002 (9:47 pm)
Rendezvous CX, with 1SB retail price: $25,520 + 1SB $1471 + Dest. $625 = $27,616   Now GMO: $21,947 + 1SB $1206 + Dest. $625 + $23,778   Plus $3000 rebate:   GMO price = $20,778   By the way, you should strongly consider getting the 1SC. It's only $500 more than 1SB and you get a ton of additional features, including the 3rd row seat. It's the best value for the CX model.
