Replying to: jimjack (Jun 19, 2007 1:40 pm) My old credit union in Memphis is showing 6.24% on new vehicles up to 66 months.   re: the Holdback you mentioned from "fightingchance.com"   Edmunds has a primer on that issue which includes most manufacturer's holdback amounts.  http://www.edmunds.com/advice/incentives/holdback/index.html   IF vehicles come on the lot and then go right back out as sales, then the dealer makes most of the holdback as profit. One discussion I've seen is that after about 90 days on the lot the dealer's interest on the inventory has offset most of the holdback amount. Might be a little longer than that depending on the interest rate the dealer is paying on inventory. So, there might appear to be a gross profit in the holdback, but the net profit after considering the holdback could be negative.   A lot of consumer sites warn against using the 'holdback' issue as a barganing chip unless the dealer is giving the false song and dance about making no money on the deal. Also the sales person that might get a commission from the sale does not usually get any of the holdback $$$ so he/she is probably not going to be swayed by that argument.   With holdback, volume incentives, dealer cash, dealer overhead, etc. it would be almost impossible to guess the real bottom line cost to the dealer of any vehicle...if fact they may not know until later when all their inventive/volume programs finish up.   Anyway it is all speculation...figure a price that you want to pay and make an offer. If accepted, sign the paperwork, if not, either walk to another dealer or make another offer. Be sure to find out as much as possible about current incentives before going... rebates, cash to dealer support, loyalty or conquest incentives. If you get $500 under invoice and then find there were $2000 total rebates, then you may have actually left as much as $1500 in the dealer's pocket.

Thanks Bill what I've got so far is an 07 Acadia SLT 2. Sticker around 44,250.00. I'll get the Acadia invoice (41,250). Plust get my concquest discount. that's the best I've pulled out of them at present. Now, I may opt to go with an 08 Enclave CXL (loaded as the Acadia is). I'm attempting to get this one with the same deal invoice. And still get my conquest credit. Likely to go with there finacing to sweeten there pot from the finance end and yet no added cost out of mine by going with E Loan. They will make a tad bit more from their loan paper vs. my paper from E Loan. No extra cost from me. I'm using this as a possible chip in the pot. My internet gal has possibly made an error in her initial statement but she claims that there might be an additional 1K credit should I have a Sun Roof on the Enclave. I'll simply read my paper work carefully Replies to this message: wlbrown9 (Jun 22, 2007 11:03 am)

Replying to: sabbaba (Jun 15, 2007 3:56 pm) I have had my Acadia for three weeks. Compared to my Navigator, gas mileage is great, and have come within 3/10's (16.7 mpg) of the sticker posted mileage for city driving on the last tank of gas. So, I'm happy with the vehicle. Looked hard at the Tahoe and loved the first two rows and hated the third row and the lack of cargo room even with the last row tilted forward. Plus, Acadia beats it in mileage due to the power being being much less.

Replying to: jimjack (Jun 20, 2007 3:50 pm) One nice kicker on the Enclave is the warranty is better. 48 month, 50,000 mile bumper to bumper on the Enclave vs 36 month/ 36,000 mile bumper to bumper on the Acadia. So, if everything else is pretty much the same going with the Enclave would be slightly better because of that. Plus it is a 2008 model.

Bill, I saw that warantee as well. That sounds better. I am considering purchasing my own extended warantee outside of the dealers offering. I'll likely drive this vehicle some 14-16k miles average anually. So in 2.75-3 yrs, my warantee is used up with respect to the miles.   Jim Replies to this message: wlbrown9 (Jun 25, 2007 12:07 pm) gbshuler (Jun 28, 2007 12:21 pm) wlbrown9 (Jul 05, 2007 9:19 am)

Replying to: jimjack (Jun 22, 2007 4:50 pm) In the extended warranty discussion you will find a lot more recommendations to stay with the manufacturers warranty since there have been a LOT of folks screwed by 3rd party warranty companies going out of business. GMOUTLET.COM and several other dealerships sell genuine GM factory warranties over the internet or phone. You could get a quote from one of these and use it for barganing power when the F&I guy trys to tell you this is THE price NO discount allowed on the GMPP warranty. Current pricing looks to be the following for Enclave:   72 mo / 100,000 miles List / discounted price  $0 deductible $1,970.00 / $1,495.00  $100 deductible $1,715.00 / $1,240.00  $200 deductible $1,525.00 / $1,050.00   I you contact them to get a personal, updated quote they might even send you an extra discount of these prices. Another benefit, if you live someplace other than Pennsylvania, they do NOT collect sales tax. You can purchase at the above prices with less than 12mo/12000 miles, after that the price goes up slightly. Replies to this message: gbshuler (Jun 28, 2007 12:21 pm) wlbrown9 (Jul 05, 2007 9:19 am)
#142 of 281 Observation of "price class" for Buick vs. GMS/Saturn for warranty by gbshuler Jun 28, 2007 (12:21 pm)
Replying to: wlbrown9 (Jun 25, 2007 12:07 pm) The gmoutlet.com has some nice GM dealer insider information. For anyone out there thinking of buying either an Outlook, or Acadia (vs. the Enclave), it might be worth noting that the extended warranty price classes are as follows:   o Enclave is class E/F (E for FWD, F for AWD) o Outlook/Acadia are class C/D (C for FWD, D for AWD)    I would assume that a class E/F warranty is more expensive than a class C/D. A "tax" on enclave owners if you will. Makes sense.. there are a few more parts to cover with an Enclave than an Acadia/Outlook. On the other hand.. The factory waranty for the Enclave is longer so the extended warranty should be cheaper (less coverage needed). Replies to this message: wlbrown9 (Jul 05, 2007 9:19 am)

Replying to: timotheus (Feb 19, 2007 7:49 am) SLE-1, FWD base model, 8 seat:   Sticker incl Destination $29,495 (Edmunds shows invoice incl. Destination should have been $29,845... not sure about the $350 difference)   In any case Edmunds shows Invoice incl. Destination for same of $27,953   Small family dealership- not linked to Advertising schemes, not hot for quarter-end quota push, offerred $28500 ($1k concession, leaving it modestly over invoice), less $1000 Conquest, arriving at $27500.   In the end, I got it under invoice. Seemed fair to me- nothing to argue or haggle over (expected a lot of hassle, as everyone else called it "new" and "hot" and didn't want to discout). Was extremely pleasant, and deal was done in minutes.   Found GMC site, where you can build your car and find locate it very user friendly... can even see sticker details on-line.

"   I went to the site and checked...it looks as if Class C is a little more than Class E, so the longer warranty on the Enclave does save you a little on the extended GMPP warranty.   Class $0 ded/60mo/90K $0 ded/72mo/100K   E $1470/$995 $1970/$1495   C $1580/$1105 $2080/$1650   Class E is the Enclave, Class C is the Acadis/Outlook. The prices are LIST/Selling price. I also checked the D vs F and D pricing is more than F as well. So Enclave buyers would get a little discount. Difference looks to be $100 to maybe $200 depending on what coverage you purchase.
