Replying to: godeacs (Aug 10, 2009 6:57 pm) Well compared to a Rav4 (assuming you mean toyota resale value) with similar options the equinox was $5000 cheaper. But yes it will depreciate faster than a Toyota or Honda but that is fine, ill take that loss just to stay in a Chevrolet Also vehicles are alot more expensive here in canada. Well here in alberta anyways. Base Trim's for most CUV's run at around $29,000 and go as high as $40,000 + for the higher end Trim's. I am super jealous of how cheap you americans can get these vehicles at

Replying to: maxiumpete (Aug 08, 2009 2:57 pm) People shouldn't be concerned about first-year model cars. Nowadays, even totally new models (not just redesigns) are generally forged from parts of other cars that have been highly acclaimed. For example, the engine in the 2010 Camaro is the same as the larger V6 of the Cadillac CTS, the V8 Camaro is a corvette block, the award-winning LS3 engine, and is built on the ZETA II chasis. The Equinox shares the same engine as the Malibu, the seat frames are from the Cadillac CTS. The list goes on and on.   Just because this is the first year a car is being produced for sale doesn't mean it's the first year the car has been on the road. Many cars being sold now for the first year have been secretly on the road as "drones" for many years (not for sale of course, but used by the manufacturer).

Replying to: festivus (Jul 23, 2009 5:11 am) As far as I know, there is a supplier discount. My boyfriend is looking to purchase a 2010 Equinox (I think he's at the dealer as I type this, seeing what they have) through GM's Friends and Family which gets him supplier pricing (according to the paperwork he has).   I'm sorry to hear you went with the RAV4. If you had waited to drive the Equinox I'm sure you'd not have given the RAV4 a second thought.   Here are some comparisons for you: EQUINOX 2.4L Ecotec 4-cyl engine 6 speed automatic 182hp 174 lb-ft torque MPG: 22/32 (FWD) 20/29 (AWD) AWD (ALL FOUR wheels power this vehicle, not just two like 4WD vehicles) Fuel capacity: 18.8 gal (4-cyl), 20.9 gal (V6) Fuel range: 600 miles   RAV4 2.5L 4-cyl engine 4 speed automatic 179hp 172 lb-ft torque MPG: 22/28 (FWD) 21/27 (4WD) 4WD (this means that you have 2 diagonal wheels that power the car, NOT all 4 as you might believe) Fuel capacity: 15.9 gal Fuel range: 432 miles   Some additional features that you might not know about the Equinox are that it has 4-wheel independent supension with front MacPherson struts and multi-link rear design to ride and handle like a sports sedan, a rear backup camera intigrated into the rearview mirror, the back seats move 8" forward (incase you have a child or childseat that you would like more easily accessible), the back seats have 3 reclining positions and split 60/40. There is a 2GB (10GB with the navi) harddrive where you can record music directly to your vehicle (hear a song on the radio you like? record it! hear a song on a friend's cd you like? record it!), dual flip-up DVD screens (can plug in a portable DVD player to watch 2 different movies or even a gaming console) segment-exclusive power programmable liftgate, ECO button to maximize fuel economy on 4cyl, best-in-class quietness, best-in-class seat comfort (matches Lexus RX330), tire pressure is shown for EACH tire, oversize glovebox can hold two medium-sized purses, hill-hold (holds you car on a hill for 2 seconds after you let go of the brake and before you step on the gas so you don't roll backwards), auto-grade braking to save your brakes and make the vehicle safer, Electronic Range Select for hills or towing, variable valve timing, headlamps turn on from 195 ft away for safe approach, time off for safe departure, tires are rated up to 65k miles.. etc, etc. Replies to this message: pmking (Aug 17, 2009 3:27 pm) greeneyespsu (Aug 17, 2009 3:42 pm) wallyuwl (Aug 17, 2009 4:56 pm) pmking (Aug 17, 2009 6:32 pm) and 1 more... dragonsback (Aug 18, 2009 9:18 am)

Replying to: greeneyespsu (Aug 17, 2009 2:49 pm) We're debating between the Nissan Rogue and the Equinox. I'm disappointed that there are no financing incentives on the Equinox. Has anyone heard if they are going to release any financing incentives? 6.9% is steep, we could probably get 5% from our credit union, but still this is a consideration.   How did your boyfriend get supplier pricing? I know we were eligible due to our credit union membership for supplier pricing on GMC vehicles, would the same apply to the Equinox?   Has anyone had a positive experience buying an Equinox or Rogue in the metropoliatan Washington DC area?

Replying to: wallyuwl (Aug 02, 2009 8:48 pm) Hey Wallyuwl,   You said you got your Equinox for $23387 before trade and TTL. Is that also before the Conquest or did you include the Conquest cash in that price? I'm surprised to hear the dealer went so far below supplier price, but that's great for others if that is prior to conquest! Please let me know. Thanks!

Replying to: pmking (Aug 17, 2009 3:27 pm) He is eligible for supplier pricing because we work as product specialists for certain Chevy vehicles (the Equinox is one of them) -- we don't work for GM, we work for an outside marketing agency. I've been working as a product specialist for them for the past 2 years, but the Equinox is the first program he's done for them and after driving it the first time 2 weekends ago, he fell in love with it. Now the trick will be finding the one he wants (they're very scarse around SoCal because they're selling out very fast) and getting the best pricing -- I'm wondering how Wally got almost $800 off from supplier, that would be a phenominal deal if my boyfriend could get the same thing (it'll be a business car -- getting it wrapped to promote a website he owns).

Replying to: greeneyespsu (Aug 17, 2009 3:33 pm) That is after Conquest. Technically my trade didn't qualify since it was older than 1999, but the dealer honored it on their end.   It was just a little over $26k sticker, then supplier knocked almost exactly $1000 off, then another $1000 for conquest, and the rest was just a good price from the dealer.

Replying to: pmking (Aug 17, 2009 3:27 pm) Get the Nissan!!!!!! We were debating between the Equinox and Rogue also, and went with the Equinox. BIG mistake! It is a great vehicle... except the transmission. And lots of people appear to be having problems (mine are well documented in the "2010 Equinox Problems" thread). More troubling is the unwillingness of GM on a national level (I've talked to someone in the Exec. Office in Detroit) or dealer to do anything about it. Also, tonight it slipped into gear hard from third to fourth, something it hasn't done before. I hope the whole dang tranny falls out so they'll finally do something about it.

Replying to: wallyuwl (Aug 17, 2009 4:56 pm) I have read the Rogue has tranny problems too!?! I wish the Rogue had a 6-cyl option like the Equinox. I would like the Rogue to have a bit more pick up. Sad to say, but the Equinox would be the first American car that I have ever bought. I've had Nissan, Honda and Mazda in the past. Replies to this message: cmhj2000 (Aug 18, 2009 3:16 am)

Replying to: pmking (Aug 17, 2009 6:32 pm) Yes, the Rogue has had lots of tranny issues but mostly with the AWD model. However, that was during the first 2 years. Now things "appeared" to have been resolved for the most part.   I've always said to avoid the first year and sometimes second year release of a new model if possible.
