Replying to: greeneyespsu (Aug 17, 2009 2:49 pm) I had a bad experiance with this snakes, they will exploit the hard-to-find issue with the Equinox right now and play games,stall, etc. They suck. I went to two different dealers in Socal and got met with the same attitude..."oh you want an Equinox huh..good luck, your going to pay top dollar EVEN if you can find one" I got my LS 4 cyl. from MK Smith in Chino (only dealer who had closest specs to what I wanted) and we made the deal in one morning. Great to work with and got a great price. I'm tempted to go to these slime bag dealers who treated me like crap and show them the mistake they made. And these tranny problems....none to be seen in ours. 300 miles on her, 2 weeks old and still overly impressed by the vehicle. LOVE it |

We purchased a 2010 Equinox LTZ in Black Granite back on August 8th and couldn't be happier (so far) We only found 4 in the DFW area that were exactly what we were looking for and nobody really wanted to deal anything less than sticker. We finally found a dealership two hours away that came down $1200 off sticker and gave us the $1000 conquest cash. So about $33300 total. MSRP was $35570. Not a great deal, but about the best at this time and we got the exact vehicle we wanted. We bought the vehicle on a saturday and took it on a road trip (4 hours one way) on Sunday and it performed great. Kids loved the Dual DVD screens and the Touch Screen Nav/Infotainment is awesome! Mileage averaged about 25.5 mpg while averaging about 72 mph. Not too bad considering we got the 3.0 v6 and the 19" Wheel Package.

 travelnman Go to Classic Chevy in Grapevine. I bought my Pontiac G5 from Classic Pontiac in Carrollton and my parents purchased an '09 Avalanche back in February from Classic Chevy. They are straight forward and great to deal with. I just ordered our '10 Equinox on Saturday and it should take about 6-8 weeks to arrive. I get the GM discount so I can't quote any prices but you should be able to get one around $1500-2000 below MSRP depending on the model/features. |

I found a small incentive yesterday that my husband and I will be taking advantage of when our '10 NOX comes in by the end of September. You can sign a waiver stating you do not want to have the 60 day return policy option on your vehicle, and you will get a $500.00 cash incentive instead. We know that we wouldn't be returning the vehicle, so we will be taking the extra $500.00. If nothing else it'll pay for 1/4 of our taxes and other fees! This can be used in conjuction with other offers, supplier discounts, GM discounts, etc. Read all about it at http://www.gm.com/guarantee/index.jsp?brandId=gm |

The price I paid for a 2010 Equinox LT2 (mocha steel metallic), 4 cyl,, fwd, heated leather seats (jet black/brownstone), rear entertainment, cargo management package and sunroof was $29,575. I traded my 2000 Dodge Durango in for "cash for clunkers" and got $4,500 for it and another $1,000 in conquest money. So with taxes, title/registration less the cfc and Conquest - out the door was $25,7249.44. |

Local dealer quoted me 30300 (1500 rebates) for a LTZ 4cyl, rear entertainment, nav/infotainment, 18" machined aluminum wheel, msrp is 33290. I am wondering if I can get a better deal. He wants 30000 (no rebate included) for a the similar vehicle without nav, for him to order one. He said conquest cash is ending this month and he was not sure how long $500 rebate lasts. I am not sure, if GM will extends the conquest cash. Any suggestions/advice.

Replying to: wallyuwl (Sep 19, 2009 5:21 pm) Maybe that's the chance I have to take. If I cant get a good price on LTZ with Nav, I have to either order one or wait until I find a loaded LTZ minus nav. Either way, there is chance I wont get conquest cash. I am wondering if anyone was able to get any 2010 Nox trim at or near the invoice price. I do know 2010 Nox is hard to come by. I am wary of this dealer as he tacks on processing fee $199 to the price. I talked to some other dealer (they don't have the vehicle) and found out they don't charge processing fee. I test drove both 2010 Nox and Terrain. I feel like Terrain's driver seat is bit roomier than Nox.

Replying to: aaki (Sep 19, 2009 8:01 pm) Anyway, I got mine I think less than invoice. I don't remember details, I think I posted what I paid earlier in this thread. We bought it in late July. It was just over $26k sticker. I qualified for Supplier pricing, then the dealer honored Conquest even though my vehicle was older than 1999, and then took another $800 or so off. So I think we paid a little under $23,400. Then did Cash for Clunkers on top of that. They had a high Documentation Fee (about $350 from what I remember), which might be the equivilent of the "processing fee" you're talking about. They also did VIN etching without us really knowing about it at a cost of $211. I think I figured it out at the time and even with those extras and holdbacks and everything they probably only made a few hundred on the deal if I remember right, so I think it was a good deal for us. You may want to wait if you don't trust the dealer and are having a hard time finding what you want anyway. If you read the Nox thread titles you'll see a lot of tranny problems discussed, mostly by me. I found a fix today (in the 2010 tranny fixed thread you can read about it). But starting maybe in a couple days, and probably for sure within a couple weeks, they will be using the new tranny program in production vehicles. So you might want to order one so when it is built you know for sure you are getting a post-program change vehicle. The difference between the old and new tranny software programs are huge, at least for me. So you might want to order one but go to a different dealer, even if you need to travel a little bit to get to the next closest one. This way you get exactly what you want and are pretty much guaranteed a post software change vehicle.
