#47 of 222 Re: Read this before buying an Equinox - CD player [sbanda] by d_sanders Nov 10, 2006 (10:27 am)
Replying to: sbanda (Mar 10, 2005 7:18 am) I am a little confused. You get a 3 year / 36,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty with a new equinox. The CD player should be replaced if they can't fix it and the only reason they won't, is if you created the problem by the customer. If it is a manufacturer defect, they will replace it.
#48 of 222 Paint issue by squeezeg Dec 15, 2006 (8:22 am)
We picked up a 2007 Equinox- ISb package. After we signed all the papers etc, we did the walk around and noticed some issues. There was light scuffing marks on the hood. The arm rest on the driver side was dirty. Worse of all a scratch on the tailgate. Didn't seem to have a choice but to take delivery with promises to deal with the issues.   The hood scuffs and the driver door came out ok. The scratch on the tailgate won't buff it. Its beneath the clear coat (you can feel the divot with your fingernail). They touched it up and buffed it, but you can see the scratch still and feel it as well. Its about an inch long, with one side deeper than the other   They've offered to paint the tailgate for us. Not sure I want to do that- given that the paint shop job will not be as durable as the factory paint.   What would you do? If you don't think we should have it painted, should we expect some kind of "compensation". Replies to this message: kyfdx (Dec 15, 2006 5:13 pm) fourmoremarine (Mar 18, 2007 12:18 pm)

Replying to: squeezeg (Dec 15, 2006 8:22 am) I wouldn't paint the tailgate for a 1" scratch..   Maybe they would throw in an oil change? Not sure you'll get any compensation if you've taken delivery.. They have already offered to paint the tailgate.. which is probably all they can do..   You'll have a door ding within a month and forget all about it, I'm guessing...

#51 of 222 BE ware of Al Hendrickson Toyota Coconut Creek by heroshima Apr 19, 2007 (5:13 am)
I purchased a 07 Equinox from Al Hendrickson Toyota Coconut Creek with 12600 on the dash, 3 days after I got home and started looking over the finance contracts etc I see that during one of there many opps I forgot to do this that’s reprint the contracts and re-sign them they slipped in 3 separate fees for stuff we did not want IE a "footprints" package a "intire" package and 1900 worth of add ons that aren't even usable because it was covered under one of the other many add ons they put in. Its a shame on me but also a shame on the finance guy for being such a sneak SOB. We called and asked what they were and they couldn’t even give us a strait answer. So Last week I had to take the car in for service the engine light came on, I have a B2B platinum warrantee supposed to cover everything top to bottom, well the service guy said that because it was a used vehicle when we purchased it that they cant honor the warrantee we just paid 4grand for. and that the issue was cause by basically bad driving. Mind you I have only had the car for less than 500 miles.. Id say stay clear of Al Hendrickson Toyota, seems that they will do about anything to make there buck and customer service isn’t a strong point. Needless to Id never buy another car from them this being my 2nd from them and I surely wouldn’t recommend them to anyone.
#52 of 222 Nox shopping, also considering VUE by bxd Apr 30, 2007 (5:35 am)
Replying to: lee_w (May 20, 2004 11:43 am) Anyone here cross-shop the Equinox versus the VUE? What did you find? Seems to me that the 8" greater length of the 'Nox isn't translated into 8" more space inside?? I think overall we like the 'Nox better but are debating if its worth a couple extra grand.   Thoughts?? Thanks!! Replies to this message: jfritsch (Apr 30, 2007 8:28 am)

Replying to: bxd (Apr 30, 2007 5:35 am) Saturn is priced with a no dicker sticker with a limited # of dealers in an area to prevent competition. The equinox is sold by the 3500 chevy dealers in the country. (Honda has 1000 Saturn 700).   Equinox regularly sells for $3500-4500 off MSRP (rebates, hidden dealer cash, etc.) I don't think the Vue gets reviewed with flying colors, although I like its styling. GM may have a better deal with the 100000 warranty.   --jjf   Anyone here cross-shop the Equinox versus the VUE? What did you find?

Replying to: meflower (May 16, 2007 10:50 am) Check on my message previous to yours. Also go to kelly blue book (kbb.com) and nada.com, edmunds.com (appraise a used vehicle) and look up a used 06 equinox like yours with 15000 miles. Average the two lowest wholesale prices together and add 15-20%. That should be a good price target range for your new 07 vehicle (with dealership fees but not licence and tax) and jive pretty well with $3500 -4500 off MSRP.   --jjf   $21217 + tax fees= $23375 Is this a reasonable price? anybody help?
