Replying to: therogue (Jun 12, 2007 3:03 pm) I just planned to buy it somewhere else - CA, NV, ID, wherever...makes for a good road trip on the way back. [None of the local Saturn dealers, for example, have a FWD Outlook, and even the Seattle dealers have too few to make the choice reasonable - but all have endless rows of AWDs to choose from.] |

I used the Fighting Chance package at link title to get $100 under invoice on my '08 Acadia. Also, the website link title is an exceptionally excellent resource. My purchase was done entirely over the phone and fax until I went down and signed the order papers - truly an easy transaction. Don't buy through any dealership that justifies a price that's much higher than that by saying it is "an in demand vehicle!" While the Acadia may have a good amount of interest right now, a truly "hot" vehicle will never sit on a lot, even for a few days. The Fighting Chance method is this: From the manufacturer's website, obtain the dealerships you wish to solicit from. Send them a very specific fax which is included in their package. Watch as the offers come in. In my case, I ended up with $100 under invoice on a vehicle that many dealerships told me was to hot to discount. Most dealerships make the bulk of their money from manufacturer incentives these days, and so frequently will be willing to loose money on a vehicle in order to meet sales goals for the month and obtain the incentive from the manufacturer. The clincher is usually when you tell them that you ARE going to buy the car from someone - is it going to be them or another dealership?

Actually ended up loosing the deal on the one in Moscow, it was gone. Found another in Redding, CA...but the dealership wouldn't give it up!! Finally yesterday drove by a dealership here in PDX that had one sitting on the lot. Turned out it was the floor display at the Portland Auto Show....every single option GMC puts on a rig, in the FWD. Red was NOT the preferred color, but at this point in time we gave in. $1000 under invoice; probably because it had been sitting a long while, most buyers at that price range wanted AWD, and we just didn't!! My wife's happy. TR |

Hum, low inventory? Large GM, Pontiac, Buick, Hummer dealer here in Memphis shows 37 Acadias and 11 Enclaves on their inventory page. Might not have all of them still, but they really have them lined up out front. I think the sticker may go up a little, but discount and incentives will probably go down. Look at the Yukon/Tahoe going from $6-7K under sticker. Make them an out the door offer, reasonable offer and see if they bite. They want you to take their offer, not make one of your own. |

1. Would those of you who bought the Acadia still buy it now that you've had a taste of the gas milage. 2. I admit I really loved this SUV on my test drive and am trying to justify the price/mpg. Turning in my gas guzzling loud Envoy in 4 weeks. Someone suggested the less expensive Tahoe, but isn't that more of a truck ride, rather then a "crossover vehicle"?

| Went to second dealer. He has none left on lot. Seems this is either a hot seller on Long Island or they did not expect to sell too many and didn't get them in. | |
