Replying to: 62vetteefp (Mar 19, 2006 7:11 am) It's just rubbing the salt in the wounds from my perspective. GM insisted on the higher sticker prices on the Lucernes when they first came out, then 2 months later lowered all of the prices by about $2,000. So now, not only is the better technology available, GM is charging less for it. Given that their lowering the sticker also lowered the invoice, which was what my cost was based on, I paid more for less. Right or wrong, I feel that I got screwed by being one of the first to buy the car. Unfortunately, I tend to not forget that feeling either the next time it comes to buying a new car. That Challenger retro concept is looking better all of the time.

Replying to: rake2 (Mar 19, 2006 12:18 pm) Well, it happens that many products are priced higher initially to restrict sales due to limited production capacity, from cars (Tundra, Lucerne, etc) to computers. As production capacity increases, price decreases, and it's a good thing. For this way only those who must have (either matter-of-factly or whimsically) a product are those willing to shell out more $$$ to get it.

Replying to: rake2 (Mar 19, 2006 12:18 pm) Some of the people who bought before the employee pricing program feel the same way. So do some people who bought a car with no rebate one week but then find out that there was one the following week.

Replying to: rake2 (Mar 19, 2006 12:18 pm) I don't know if this will apply for you, but it appears that Buick is offering $500 cash back if your car was invoiced early on. Here's what edmonds.com says about Lucerne V8 incentives: "$500 Cash to Customer start: 03/16/2006 end: 04/04/2006 Get Dealer Pricing Restrictions Customer Bonus Cash is only available on vehicles invoiced before 10/17/2005. Comments Incentives may vary; see your local dealer for details." Replies to this message: rake2 (Mar 27, 2006 2:20 pm) 62vetteefp (Mar 27, 2006 6:23 pm)

Replying to: dandydon2 (Mar 27, 2006 12:39 pm) I think that probably is for current buyers to make up for the difference in price on two cars w/ the same features right now. The exact car I bought in December was about $1,800 less in January, once GM went to the competitive pricing, or whatever they call it. Replies to this message: 62vetteefp (Mar 27, 2006 6:23 pm)

Replying to: rake2 (Mar 27, 2006 2:20 pm) I think GM is trying to use the incentives a bit better than a scattershot. they are putting incentives on vehicles that have been sitting at the dealerships or last years models or a refreshed model ('06 SUV's).   the 2006 LaCrosse has a huge $500 rebate . Could not find one on the Automotive News site for the Lucerne. But at the Buick site they show $500 for the Lucerne CX only? Think this means they are selling the uplevel models and the base ones are sitting. I did find the old vehicle $500 rebate on the LaCrosse and Lucerne on the Edmunds site. You just gotta find an old CX and get $1000 back. wonder how many there are?

Replying to: rake2 (Mar 19, 2006 12:18 pm) Right or wrong, I feel that I got screwed by being one of the first to buy the car.   That is always the case, with any new model coming out. You pay a price to be the "first" on the block to own the car, and I'd think anyone who watched GM over the last 10 years would know rebates would be following the launch of a new vehicle soon. Shoot, they might as well just put the checks in the glove compartments of every new Ford and GM product.
#92 of 92 Better than average deal. by turbo5luc May 22, 2007 (7:32 pm)
I got my invoice right here on a new 2007 Buick Lucerne CXL. I got $2200 total rebate not counting my GM credits. Total cash used in the deal was $4426.61 from GM. Now that is not bad for a great car. Everyone who sees my car loves it. When they ride in it they fall even more for it. Its a big car and gets good gas mileage. GM did good with this car. It also has a wonderful 100,000 mile warranty or 5 years with 5 year road side assistance and GM provides transportation if it should ever have to go in for routine maintenance! I got a red one with creamy white interior.   Not bad for an American car company!!!   Turbo5luc
