#162 of 177 Current Incentive on Remaining 2005 Vehicles? by gf2020 Jan 18, 2006 (9:08 am)
Does anyone know what the factory incentives are for remaining, in-stock 2005 Envoy XLs or Trailblazer EXTs?    The gmbuypower.com web site does not show any incentives, but I don't believe that is correct.    Alternatively, does anyone recall what the last rebate GM offered during calendar 2005 was?    Thanks!
#163 of 177 Any '06 purchasers? by morey000 Feb 09, 2006 (9:46 pm)
I've just got some 'internet' bids for a '06 Envoy Denali. MSRP around $38.5K. Two dealers are offering a similar discount. $500 above Invoice, minus the $1K factory rebate.   I know I can do better- but I just don't know how much. The value of this vehicle will be based on whether redesign of the Envoy/TB is going to exist this fall as an '07, or next as an '08?) Replies to this message: lastar (Feb 11, 2006 10:11 pm)

#165 of 177 Hating my 2002 Trailblazer from GREENWAY in Orlando by madmomtb02 Sep 04, 2006 (12:43 pm)
I just got hustled at Greenway in Orlando and ended up with a piece of poo 2002 Trailblazer with 98K mile, minor cosmetic damage, and issues with the engine that only came up once we had it on the road for about 2 weeks. Already had to run a diagnostic on it and found over $2600 worth of repairs/necessary work. Of course, when I say I got hustled, I mean that I bought it for $6,300 with many reassurances from the salesmen that it had been inspected thoroughly, there was no damage mechanically, and that it was in good shape.   PLEASE DO NOT GO TO GREENWAY IN ORLANDO!!! They lie for a sale! I have a 2 year old that was with us during this buying process and they played nice through the whole event, playing on my heartstrings that this SUV was good for the family. Now I can't even drive it out of my front yard!   Talked to a manager today and he basically blew me off despite the salesmen assuring me that if anything went wrong within 30 days they would take care of it.   GREENWAY in ORLANDO= LEMONS! GO ANYWHERE BUT THERE! Replies to this message: burdawg (Sep 10, 2006 10:35 am)

#168 of 177 Depreciation of Trailblazer/Envoy by jfritsch Mar 10, 2007 (12:42 pm)
A $30000 Trailblazer wholesales used for about 17k after year 1.   With about 13-$14000 in depreciation from MSRP after 12months , its not unusual to see ads for $8000 off msrp and a few at $10000 off MSRP.   You want the $10,000 off. The 100k warranty on the 07's sweetens the deal a bit.   Happy Hunting --jjf Replies to this message: bmb2 (Mar 14, 2007 7:58 am) hardhawk (Mar 14, 2007 9:00 am) bmb2 (Mar 14, 2007 10:09 am) and 1 more... jfritsch (Mar 14, 2007 1:13 pm) jfritsch (Mar 14, 2007 3:01 pm)

Replying to: jfritsch (Mar 10, 2007 12:42 pm) I have been following the various forums for the last few weeks. I am looking to purchase a new SUV soon, within the next 8 weeks. You seem to be very knowledgeable on many of the SUV's and their cost.   I currently have a GMC Envoy XL and my wife absolutely loves it. I was thinking of a 2007 Honda Pilot to add to our current SUV but my wife was less than impressed compared to her Envoy XL. She rated it a 7/10 versus a 9.5/10 for her Envoy XL. I have actually tried to find any remaining new 2006 Envoy XL's but have not had much luck.   I have located a few Trailblazer EXT's and most everyone is only offering me around $7,500 off of MSRP. I would be tempted to purchase one of these if they would give me $10,000 off but they won't budge. I have been offered a 2006 Chevy Trailblazer EXT 4x4 LT for $27,212 while MSRP is $34,495. What would you suggest to lower their price?   I have also considered the new GMC Acadia since she loves her Envoy XL so much but am a little scared away but the expense and lack of rebates. Not sure if this will improve by May?   The final consideration we have had was a used Cadillac SRX with a 3rd row seat. Not too sure about buying a used vehicle especially a 2004-2005 with the increased interest rate for a loan.   As you can see I have been all over the place. I am really just looking for a reliable SUV with 3 rows of seats for our kids. I was hoping to get one with better MPG than the Envoy XL but at this rate I just want to find one that will suit my wife and hopefully be a good deal. I have to admit that the Acadia is probably my favorite but also the most expensive. Any advice.

Replying to: bmb2 (Mar 14, 2007 7:58 am) If you really need space and economy, go for a minivan. There are great deals to be had on vans from almost all companies right now. You can even get AWD on the Toyota if you need it over the FWD of the Chrysler/Dodge/Honda offerings. Most people really don't need an SUV. That is why the crossovers are gaining in popularity. The vans are still great vehicles too. You can almost steal a Ford Freestyle crossover right now. It is a good vehicle that has adequate but not excessive power as well as a lot of room inside and good mileage. I have to have my Envoy to tow a 5000# boat. They are great vehicles. If I didn't have the boat, I would have a van or a crossover. Replies to this message: bmb2 (Mar 14, 2007 10:09 am) hardhawk (Mar 14, 2007 12:09 pm)

Replying to: hardhawk (Mar 14, 2007 9:00 am) We tried the minivan thing in the past. We couldn't do it. It wasn't a minivan look or anything like that, my wife just really didn't like how it drove compared to her SUV. She didn't feel that it responded the same way and overall was unhappy. We traded it in less than one year, which hurt really bad on the financial side of things but now we have the Envoy XL that she loves. She has looked at the Freestyle and does not care for it.
