Replying to: wlbrown9 (Jul 31, 2007 1:41 pm) Can't argue with that... 2% of MSRP is getting into serious money...

Replying to: wlbrown9 (Jul 31, 2007 1:41 pm) The manufacturer would say they have added it into the price of the vehicle in that it's included in MSRP. But most people are negotiating from invoice these days and that's where it gets foggy. The problem is the advertising fees are regional/local in nature. I have heard of ad fees on Acadias ranging everywhere from about $250 to $900+ depending on the dealer location. According to Edmunds, they usually range from about 1-2% of MSRP, so the numbers being posted on this board are not really out of line (assuming the person quoted $900+ is buying a loaded vehicle in a big advertising market). The fees seem to be higher in large metro areas and lower for rural dealers. Replies to this message: wlbrown9 (Aug 02, 2007 11:49 am)
#156 of 263 08' Acadia by max63 Jul 31, 2007 (8:03 pm)
Just bought an 08'Acadia with a sticker of $42,360 for $39,862 (Includes $500 conquest rebate), which is considered "invoice". Total ad fee was $832.50 which is added to the edmunds invoice. Did not put up a fuss due to the fact I got an 08'. Located in So. Cal.

Replying to: loach (Jul 31, 2007 1:59 pm) I understand what you are getting at. Hum, say on the '07 Acadia SLT 1, spread between MSRP and invoice is $2,160. Room for Ad fees in that. Spread between TMV and invoice is only $552, about what the Ad fees seem to be running average. So, is net profit before holdback, volume incentives, etc. pretty much $0 after deducting the Ad fees (or adding them to base invoice). I'm glad I have not put out the million to buy a dealership and make minimal profit on a pretty poplar vehicle.   Now getting to the regional ad fees, with network advertising, satellite radio, internet, etc. I don't see any more difference in having national Ad fees that having national destination fees. Maybe it will eventually come to that, but I'm wondering if checking the smaller town, lower overhead dealers might be a good idea. I know they don't have the same volume, but if their overhead is much lower and they get hit with minimal Ad fees, then they might be able to have a lower net sales price than the high volume, high overhead, high Ad fee dealers in the 'big city'.   Hey, I've got it now...this is some of the 'new' math they started teaching after I got out of school...dang, my 40th high school reunion is just a couple of years from now.

Replying to: kyfdx (Feb 05, 2007 9:15 am) My neighbor works for an RV dealer and some one traded in their Acadia for an RV. It has 11,000 miles on it, silver, fully loaded, I mean every options available. He can sell it to me for $34,500 plus tax/tag/title. Is that a good deal?

#160 of 263 Acadia seat dimensions - can you help? by stage Aug 04, 2007 (8:39 pm)
I am looking at a 2008 Acadia SLT2 AWD with leather seats. Does anyone have the actual front seat dimensions? Would like to compare with my current autos. Thanks for the help.

Replying to: sholland1 (Aug 04, 2007 8:04 pm) If it truly has every option, sounds like a good deal. I had dealer offer $37,900 for '07 SLT-2 and it did not have DVD or Navigation. Thought it was still pretty good deal but decided to buy '08 instead.
#162 of 263 Is this a good deal? by bobbyg56 Aug 08, 2007 (7:37 pm)
I was quoted the following; 2007 SLT 1 AWD, with minimal options. 36,600, .59 residual, 6.9%, $1985 down which consists of 1st payment, Sec deposit, Acq fee and DMV fees. Monthly lease payment = $586 for 39 months. Good, bad or ugly???
#163 of 263 $45,310 for $41,000 by fenwah Aug 14, 2007 (12:21 pm)
MSRP: $45,310.00 Selling Price: $41,000 (according to their papers, it's $671.85 below invoice...but according to my local dealer who I talked to, it's $1,047.05 below invoice...and I have a hard copy of those papers as well...have no idea why invoice is different at these two dealerships...they are about 150 miles apart) Documentation Fee: $250 (I didn't put up a fight on this since the price was so good) County sales tax of 6.5%: $2681.25 Title Fee: $15.00 30 day tag: $10.50 OTD price: $43,956.75 (before GM earnings)   GM Card Earnings are appx. $3400   Knocking it down to ~ $40,556 OTD   No trade was involved...found a dealership (Sellers in Farmington Hills, MI) who was selling vehicles through autotrader at just above employee pricing. I used that web site and linked it in with emails to numerous other dealerships in the area. Many dealerships thought I was lying...but it's right there on the web. One dealership came $500 above Seller's price but would deliver it to my house...so I said, "Sold!"
