#65 of 120 Quick Help Needed by tmacguy Jan 27, 2005 (4:36 pm)
I am buying an SRX, will be at the dealer showroom Saturday to finalize. I am so confused which one should I take, a 2005 V6 RWD or 2004 V8 AWD. I would have loved ot take a RWD V8, but this option is not availabel at all.   Both cars are brand new and similarly equiped (includeng the ultra view roof, StabilitTrack and Magna ride), the 2004 has the rear DVD player In addition. $42,600 for the V8 and 44,200 for the 05 V6. But the 04 model is offered with 3% financing compared to 7% for the '05. ('05 V8 not available here yet and not for some months)   I have test driven both, and the V6 felt softer and more responsive, Is this due to the RWD being more nimble than the AWD? Another surprise was the instant fuel consumption of the V6 was reading 11 L/100 km at 60 Mi cruise, while the V8 read 9 L/100 km at the same cruise speed???   Finally does any one had, or expects a problem with the AWD system. I am really concedrned that AWD drive won't age niceliy say at 100,000 mi, while the RWD will age much better.   Any one knows of horror storied concerning the AWD system.   I have 2003 CTS and I love it.   Thanks Replies to this message: tmacguy (Feb 15, 2005 2:31 pm)

#67 of 120 2004 RWD V8 best price by platinumsrx Feb 05, 2005 (3:02 pm)
I just got a RWD V8 2004, with sunroof and bose premium sound. Everything else I think was standard. Oh yes, I get the electric folding third row seat (didn't really want that but maybe the dog will be happy in it). Paid $36k plus Tax and License. No additional dealer prep, advertising, floor plan, or delivery, etc.   I think this was a good price but I maybe could have gotten another thousand off. Anyone do better/worse/same?   My build date was 1/04 so I had them put a new battery in, replace the engine oil, and do the three recalls (seats, suspension, and stearing).
#68 of 120 steering vibration at highway speeds by platinumsrx Feb 05, 2005 (3:04 pm)
My SRX is great, no manufacturing flaws that I can find. Everything works great. However, I do have a slight steering vibration characteristic of tires out of balance. Could this be from the car being parked for a year in the dealers lot? It was a 2004 with a 1/04 build date and only 2 miles on it. So maybe the tires are flat-spotted.   Can anyone advise me?

Replying to: platinumsrx (Feb 05, 2005 3:04 pm) Sure there's a good chance the tires are flat-spotted. You'd be too if you sat for that extended period unmoved. Dealers are ALWAYS moving their inventory around for selling purposes however, so maybe your vibration is NOT tire related. What was the sticker on your vehicle? THANKS.

#74 of 120 NEW INCENTIVES by jerrymcshane1 Mar 11, 2005 (2:16 pm)
GM Announces New Incentive Program Intended to Help Clear Vehicles Off Dealers' Lots DETROIT March 9, 2005; Dee-Ann Durbin writing for the AP reported that General Motors Corp. announced a new round of consumer incentives Thursday intended to help clear slow-selling vehicles off dealers' lots this month.   GM will give cash bonuses of between $500 and $1,500 for vehicles that have been in dealer inventories for at least 125 days, GM spokeswoman Deborah Silverman said. Most of those vehicles will be eligible for $1,000 bonuses, but Cadillacs will be eligible for $1,500. Cadillac sales were strong at the end of 2004 but fell 3.3 percent last month, according to Autodata Corp.   The "March Madness" promotion is similar to a red tag sale GM held in December. GM's sales fell 7 percent overall that month, but the bonuses helped sales of individual brands like Chevrolet and Cadillac. Cadillac sales rose 19 percent in December, helping the luxury brand achieve its best sales year since 1990.
