Elisa, Congratulations on your new beauty...and she is that! Heard our build date was Oct. 12, so maybe by the end of the month we'll have ours...fingers crossed. Have fun, enjoy, and be safe! Read where Conquest Cash was extended through end of year...sure hope so.

I purchased a 2010 Equinox six weeks ago.. The list price was $27,050. I was able to get deductions for my GMCard ($4550), credit union member ($250), ca$h for Clunkers ($4500- 2000 Dodge Durango), and the dealer took off another $500 or so, total deductions from list price was approx $9800. I did all this a day before the clunker program ended, and with the Durango worth about $1,000 (my son modified it, raised the body, huge wheels and tires, off roaded, burnt out the electronics such as radio, defrost, etc.- generally dogged the Durango) I was very eager to finalize deal, plus only a couple Equinoxes avail in DC area by then. I guess I could have gotten a little bit better deal, but not worth the risk of losing clunker cash.. I guess I may have left a few dollars on the table, but with all the deductions I got, I was ready, willing and did the deed. I am very, very happy... if anyone wants a good dealer in DC area, Jack Winegartner Chevrolet in Fort Washington, MD did a great job for me. what a great vehicle..funny, dont know whether to call it a car, wagon, truck, SUV... my Equinox rides great, perfect on a long distance trip, good for around town too. I have the 3.0 engine>> wanted the 4 cyl but there was only one Equinox within 30 miles when I purchased mid August 2009. Moonroof, upgraded stereo system, great seats, the interior colors and design are fantastic. My MPG was approx 24 mpg on the long distance trip, mostly freeways for 600 mi, but the wife drives like a jack rabbit, kept downshifting the 6 speed tranny every time she mashes the gas peddle down (sorry honey, no finesse!!) My around town milage is 21.6 mpg. Not too bad, but I am hoping it improves (only 2k miles). (Comparable in weekly cost to my luxury import car  25 mpg w/high test gas). This beats the 12 mpg Dodge Durango (2000) we $-4-clunkered in. Anyone looking to purchase a CR-V, Ford Edge, any Chrysler product, or needing to easily transport up to 5 adults at a time, should test the Equinox. I am very happy with my Equinoxee. Best features for me: 1. Size is perfect. Not too big, not too small. 2. Great job on exterior and interior design. Cabin is very pleasing to my eye with color/layout. 3. Decent gas milage for vehicle this size. 4. Adjustable rear seat with tilt.. very nice. 5. Great ride. I feel very safe, I like all the air bags- hope I dont need them. My complaints in case GM is listening: 1. I like to drive with arm on window sill> uncomfortable for me. The curve of door is too sharp by the window. 2. Radio controls should be in steering wheel. 3. Should have fog lights standard on all trim levels. 4. I hate daytime running lights. 5. I dont like doors auto unlocking when drive placed in Park. 6. I would like master door lock/unlock button on front doors not in center of dash. Thats it. I really like the car, and I am glad I purchased the Equinox, but as with anything, there could be some positive changes. I have not driven my 2005 Mercedes C230 since getting the Equinox !! I really like this ride.

Last Friday (October 2nd) I picked up my new NOX. 2LT, FWD, 4cyl, Cardinal Red, Jet Black Leather, Sunroof and Auto Liftgate. I have to admit, for not having a "clunker" or knowing anyone who is a GM employee, I feel as though I got a good deal. Sticker price $28,530. Our "Credit Union Discount" took us down to 27,470. $1,000.00 for conquest (husband has a ford ranger truck) and then $500.00 for signing off on the 2 month return deal (as much as I put up with to get this car, I'm not going to return it), it took us down to $25,970. Then, since my dealer screwed up my order (I wanted cloth, but the order couldn't be changed from leather, even though my dealer guaranteed it to get the deal) they gave me the leather for free, deducting an extra $932 (or around there, which is the cost of the leather at supplier discount). That left me with a final bill of $25,038. In Missouri you pay TTL separately at the DMV instead of through your dealer. So I am waiting on the paperwork to arrive in the mail to do that. Those costs are estimated at $1300.00. So, including everything the car will cost us $26,338.00 (approx). Coming in almost $2200 under the sticker, I'm very happy with the deal and my car.
