I made the mistake of trading my old card for the new one. Now I've got about $10k in earnings and can only use about $1k every other year or so. Once in a blue moon they'll do a special where they raise the limits--I spanked them with $4k the last time they had it.

Whichever card I have I'm limited to $1000 on a new Acadia. I'm limited to $1500 on a Tahoe/Yukon which seems kinda odd to me as I see plenty of the big SUV's around. I feel sure they've got some serious bean counters who know how to massage the numbers. I've watched this stuff for years and they often bump up the GMCard allowances before they bump the rebates and then lower the GMCard allowances when they bump up the rebates. Whatever they allow, it's a gift. I've used credit cards for 30 years with zero perks. My GMCard has saved me $6k+ since 2002. Best I can tell it's real money. I never mention a thing about my credit card money until I've made the deal, and it comes right off the bottom line. love that card.

I'm a huge fan of the GM card--I've redeemed $5001 so far. I wish I had kept the old card with its unlimited redemption amounts. I'd probably buy another car every year if they let me use all my earnings each time.

So which winds up better? Haggling or going with supplier pricing?

Same here. Actually, we've never accumulated too much on it, but just collecting "GM cash" for spending money elsewhere has always been fine by us.
 
Right now we're actually itching to buy an Enclave, but with the past 2 GM vehicles...about a month after purchase was when a GM Card bonus earnings thing would show up, with an extra $1 or $2k on top of what was already there. If we could only get another one of those card bonuses soon...and not go buy again, only to have it show up the next day
 
I was told recently "usually in December-January-February", but of course, just a good guess.

How much should I offer on loaded SLT2? by johnbrain

I am looking at both the Outlook and the Acadia.Wife likes outlook interior more. I know the Acadia has slightly better suspension but for wife those things aren't big deal.
 
So with my Supplier discount a loaded Outlook FWD (nav, dvd player, trailer, back uo cam, leather, 7 passenger, remote start package) with an MSRP of 39,910 has a supplier price of $38301. I believe there is also $500 cash.
 
My GMC dealer has a comparably equipped Acadia FWD. Everything but the HUD and wheel package. MSRP $42360 Supplier price $39638.
 
Since GMC does not have fixed pricing like Saturn, should I offer $500 (or more or less) below invoice? Or just offer the Saturn price? I know they have a god size inventory at my SoCal dealer in town so supply is not an issue. Many of you have noted the dealers are getting above invoice on the Acadia but I have to give it a shot.
 
I may wind up with the Saturn since its my wife's car but I want her to see both.
 
Any advice is appreciated.

When I was actively shopping two weeks ago, my local GMC dealer offered me any Acadia on his lot for invoice less incentives. He even offered to order me one to my specifications at invoice less incentives. Just about every dealer I spoke with offered the same deal. I'm in VA where the market is a lot less competitive than SoCal, so you should easily be able to match my offers.

I created a lease spreadsheet with everything I've learned here. Is it possible to get an SLT2 2wd with nav dvd sunroof leather 7 passenger comfort pkg zero down zero drive off for UNDER $590/month in SoCal?

Good deal on '08 SLT-1 FWD? by zoesdad
Nov 11, 2007 (11:10 am)

Been monitoring for a while so now it's my turn to post:
 
As noted in title, '08 SLT-1 FWD
Liquid Silver Metallic with Ebony Leather
2-2-3 seating
Preferred Pkg
Convenience Pkg
Rear power liftgate
heated wiper fluid
115V power outlet
 
MSRP: $35,500
Total purchase price: $33,871 ($32,793 selling price + $1,055 sales tax + $23 tags and fees).
 
Essentially, I was given a $500 Conquest rebate and a "preferred customer discount" of $2,707.
 
I believe invoice was approximately $32,300.
 
Wanted the dual sunroof but dealer did not have a FWD SLT-1 with both 2nd row captains chairs and the dual sunroof. Most vehicles on the lot were AWD, which I didn't want. (Didn't necessarily want the heated wiper fluid or power outlet either, but that is how it was equipped...).
 
Had a nice sales experience with dealer, all-in-all (J. Koons in Tyson's Corner, VA).
 
Please let me know if you have any reaction; good, bad or indifferent to this purchase, thanks!
