Replying to: boomzer (May 22, 2007 6:00 am) I think someone made a comment about GM being in world of hurt, I think thats a BS statement, GM is still the second biggest corporation in the world, yeah, they took a hit, but they have nowhere to go but up, thats business. the ad fee won't go away, the dealership pays for that, they would be using there holdback to pay for it, and on hot merchandise like the Acadia and Enclave the next guy will pay $500 over and be happy with there deal, I am a dealer, believe me there is no shortage of interested buyers on either model, The dealership is making $1600 pure profit plus doc fee at $500 over invoice, $1600 on a $35000 vehicle is a 4.5% profit margin, there's more mark up in almost anything you've ever bought, every appliance and luxury in your house. All I'm saying is $500 over is fair to both sides for hot merchandise and you'll be happy with your new Acadia. |

I have 2 dealers from back in May that are ready to deal  invoice. It appears thought that according to one of you that there is a dealer pack or hold back that the dealer still makes at least 1K. Given the new 08 is out on KBB, why would anyone go pay even invoice on an 07. You would loose 2K driving off the lot minimum right or am I goofy in this thought.

There are plenty of 07's in the Bay area of Califonia. Mazaei in Antioch, Lehmer's in Concord, Dublin GMC in Dublin. Type in the zip code 94549 and go to locate inventory. |

Replying to: jimjack (Jun 19, 2007 5:55 am) One thing to consider when buying toward the end of the model year...your '07 will have many fewer miles that an '07 bought at the beginning of the model year, so the low mileage adjustment will make up for a little of the extra loss from buying late in the year. Also, normally incentives and/or discounts are larger during the year end closeouts than at the beginning of the year. |

wlbrown9, Since you are a dealer, would you not think it wise to use the finance at the dealer vs. an outside source as a bargain chip? Also, I try to wait for the dealers to hit us with the 0% interest but the Acadia does not seem to be going there. Also, lease vs. buy.. I own a company to which I can write the vehicle off. I intend to keep the Acadia at least 48 mo. Or 60 if the interest gets to zero. I had this pleasure with my Suburban (invoice & zero% on the balance) Would you think that GM is at the point where the 07's will have packaged a deeper incentive now that the 08 are at the door knocking to come in?

Replying to: jimjack (Jun 19, 2007 7:36 am) 0% interest or larger rebates? Hum...just do the calculations to see if 0% is better than say 6.9% with a $4000 rebate. For example, I just looked at my old credit union, up to 66 months, new vehicle, 6.24%. I went to their loan calculator and worked around until I determined that at 6.24% for 60 months on $35000 purchase that $5000 rebate is pretty close to the same as 0% interest. $35K -$5K rebate = $30K at 6.24% = %583.34/month. $35K 0.0% interest works out to just about $583.33/month. But if you can write off a lease it probably makes sense to do that. Personally, unless I could write off a lease to business expense, I would rather buy. GM and manufacturers usually increase discounts at this time of year to try and move remaining inventory. Somtimes they will increase rebates and even offer marketing support to dealers that have inventory left when the new model year vehicles start coming in. Different years bring different 'discount' ideas...last year or the one before it was 'everyone gets employee pricing', usually more to give a different slant to the tired old 'we are cutting prices to move these pigs, come down and save some money' and make some folks think they are getting a great deal. You might even want to register on some of the brands websites. Last month I got a e-certificate for an additional $1000 off on Acadia, Envoy, Trailblazer or Outlook...just pulled up the e-mail, ended yesterday, 6/18/2007. $1500 on Yukon/Tahoe. Then sometimes there is either the conquest cash or loyalty cash depending on if you have a competing vehicle or one of that brand. Bill |

I ordered a 2008 Acadia early May. I am unable to get 08 official pricing from GMC. I understand that 08 production started June 18th, does anyone know when I can expect pricing and delivery on this vehicle??
