#70 of 88 Buy Now or Later by stratman May 20, 2004 (6:20 am)
I am very interested in the RDV CXL AWD. I rented one on vacation for a week and fell in love! The dealer has a demo with an MSRP of $35K+ for sale for $26K+. I know the demo price is less current rebates but I am weighing my options for later in the summer to take advantage of summer deals and maybe PGA promotions. I am also considering the Toyota Highlander but I know the discounts are not as generous and the car is not as roomy. What do you RDV owners think...any advice?

Replying to: stratman (May 20, 2004 6:20 am) Depending upon the mileage and the options (e.g. third row seating, captains chairs, leather, etc.), $26,000 sounds like a good price. Tell the dealer that your looking at the Highlander, Pilot, et. al. and make a firm $24,000 offer for the RDV. If the dealer sticks to $26,000 at least get an extended warranty included for no extra charge. Good luck.

Replying to: cudaal (May 12, 2004 11:39 pm) We purchased a 2004 CXL Plus w\ 3.6L engine last Tuesday. MSRP was $38,675, includ. leather, sunroof, X-M satel., captain's chairs, rear audio, steering wheel audio controls, etc. Paid $35,142 (invoice) minus a $5,000 rebate, or $30,142. After taking off $3,250 in GM card points, paid $26,892. Dealer is a friend, but I'm guessing most can get close to invoice. IMO, the bigger engine is well worth the added cost.
#73 of 88 2004 CXL by socal2 Sep 27, 2004 (3:59 pm)
Just purchased a 2004 Rendezvous CXL with: Chrome Wheels 6 Disk Changer 3rd Row seat Sunroof   MSRP was $34365 (an older build, so $200 less than current MSRP for newer builds)   Negotiated price before rebates: $30,961 Rebates: $6000 Net price: $24,961   I was not happy with the State of California charging sales tax on the $30,961 before rebate price instead of the $24961 after rebate price.   This was an impulse buy... let me know if any of you out there got a better deal.

Replying to: socal2 (Sep 27, 2004 3:59 pm) Looks like you got a good deal, getting $10K off. I only got 6600 off MSRP, but the rebates were only $2000 in 2002. Still, you paid $3600 less for a newer model year. Replies to this message: socal2 (Sep 28, 2004 1:56 pm)

Replying to: tmakogon (Sep 28, 2004 9:43 am) We are really happy with the car. The decision to get the 2004 instead of the 2005 model was difficult because GM finally added 17" wheels and a passenger side occupant detection system to the airbags standard in the 2005 CXL. The 2005 also has a lower MSRP than the 2004 by a few hundred dollars. But, the 2004 had a $6000 rebate instead of $3000 for the $2005, so that was the clincher
#76 of 88 Resale value.. by jeep1988 Nov 01, 2005 (10:27 am)
I have always heard the knock against the Rendezvous was the reslae value. Here is a review link from cars. com. For the initial cost of the vehicle, it seems to lose value fairly quickly. I have a friend that sells Buicks, and he said the same thing. He said they are good vehicle, but for some reason, they drop in resale value.   http://research.cars.com/go/crp/summary.jsp?makeid=7&modelid=5407&year=2005&bg=t

Replying to: socal2 (Sep 27, 2004 3:59 pm) Many states charge sales tax this way.

#79 of 88 2002 CX for $13K Cdn by wormburner May 06, 2006 (7:52 am)
I purchased a 2002 CX (77K kilometres) in March after doing a great deal of homework, including reviewing several posts on this site. I have to say that i adore this vehicle. There was no way I could ever get so much SUV at this price point from any other manufacturer.   I was sure to get a printout of the service history before purchasing... wheel bearings, intake gasket, wiper motor... pretty much everything other than the BCM have already been replaced with the upgraded parts.   Thank you all for your posts... it made for a well-informed decision on my part.
