Aloha
 
I am not sure this will help you, but I might as well share it.
 
I don't know how this compares to the CXS, but I just bought a new 2006 CX with the following options:
 
Driver's Confidence Pkg
 
Rear-obstacle-detection system, remote engine start, alarm
 
Comfort and Convenience Pkg
 
Auto Dimming OSRV Drv Mirror
Auto Dimming Inside Rear View Mirror
Illuminated mirror visors
Universal home remote
Rainsense intermittent wipers
6 way power passenger seat
6 passenger 40/20/20 split front seating
 
Ext - Dark Garnet metallic
Int - Cashmere
 
My price out the door was $23,500.
 
I would appreciate if anyone has suggestions for seat covers that will protect from spills from young kids.
 
Also, any comments on whether I should get the extended warranty.
 
I bought an extended warranty on my Aztek 3 years ago because of problems with the A/C that seemed to happen after 3 years.
 
Thanks

I forgot to mention, GM increased their rebates on 6/25.
 
The rebate for a new 2006 Lucerne was $4,000.
 
It seemed that retail delivery had to be by 6/27 but that seemed like an awful short time fuse.
 
In addition to that rebate, I used the $750 Buick owner rebate.

2006 model research by tcb30

I have a question. I am trying to research the price on 2006 model year lucernes that are still on the lot. On Edmunds and other sites like this for new cars you can only get pricing information on 2007s and 2008s. How do you get an idea of what the price should be on a 2006 model that is still on the lot? Thanks.

Consider it a used car... Price it out that way.. then, add a premium for whatever you think the full new car warranty is worth..
 
That number will probably be less than they are willing to sell it for.. which is why it is still on the lot.

How is your CXL.V8 going. It is the color my wife is looking for, do you want to sell it or know of any others in Sage Mist for sale ? They dropped that color mid 07

Leftover Lucerne for Dad by sheepdog1

My dad wants my help looking at 07 Lucernes over the Thanksgiving holiday. Recently a local dealer was offering 07s 6k below invoice. Is that the best deal currently?

Where are they offering $6K below invoice? I am considering one and the only incentive I see is $2k incentive off best negotiated deal -- in PA.

What's a reasonable MSRP discount? by waltchan

Looking forward to get a new 2009 Buick Lucerne CXL somewhere next year. The options I want are:
 
Custom Perforated Leather
Chrome Appearance Package
Driver Confidence Package
Luxury Package
Side Blind Alert
Navigation
Harmon/Kardon Speakers
Steering Wheel
Sunroof
 
What's the best, most reasonable offer I can get with the dealer with a MSRP sticker of $37,000. I am thinking on trying $8,000 off MSRP. Will that work? If not, how much MSRP off when you purchased your new Lucerne? Buicks aren't hot seller anyway, and I'm sure some dealers offer big discounts. Thank you for any advise given.

I just finished negotiaring on a 2008 pretty loaded CXS. I paid about $150 below dealer invoice. I got my dealer cost info from tmv and another source, gm dealers have a 3% holdback on the invoice from GM for their overhead and lights, some vehicles and dealer have to pay a 2% group advertising fee. I don't think they have 8000 in a new vehicle. I got documentation from another source on dealer invoice, units sold per month and best deals from that source.
 
Somewhere on this site there is a link for Capital one auto buying, In northern California their deal is $100 over invoice if the car is on the dealer in the programs lot. In southern california its $300 over invoice but a so cal dealer was willing to sell me the car at invoice and truck it 350 mile to me and have me sign the paperwork here.
 
I called the sales manager of my local dealer and aksed him if wanted to sell a car and told him what deals I had at other dealers, I completed the deal in about 20 minutes after a month of research and pricing. Given its the end of the year I may have gotten a better deal but there were only 3 cars in the state configured the way I wanted. I also get 2000 cash back from GM and the dealer got me a better interest rate by 1% and its lower than I was able to get from applying to 5 banks and I have excellent credit.
 
If you are going to finance I suggest you secure your financing first and then pick your vehicle.
 
I used fightingchance.com for price and negotiation tips.

That's likely a bit too much off, to consider.
 
Figure out what invoice is on that car, and consider that your starting point, minus any rebates.
 
Hence, if it were a 2008 CXL with those options right now, should have an invoice right around $35,500--so that would be about your starting point. From that, and again just using now as an idea, you could subtract $2000 in rebate cash...so around $33,500.
 
Basically, a few months into a model year, and with the fact that the spread between MSRP and invoice is fairly small on a Lucerne...$8k off just isn't feasible. It is right now on leftover 2007's, with extra rebate cash available, but that's about it.
 
Just not going to happen, to get that kind of a chunk off, unless it's a leftover 2008 maybe this time next year. Determine invoice price at that time, subtract rebates, and that's your figure.
