2008 - Under $34K for SLT2 by drtpaper

Got my 2008 for $130 over invoice and will get whatever rebates are in place when car arrives.
 
SLT-2 with no upgrades. They will deal if you don't take one off the lot. They can't get enough for the floor, but they will order one since they don't have to carry the cost.

I recently tried to buy one of these. GM thinks they have a real winner around here, but I did not get sucked it. Most I could get off sticker was around $2k. Their lease rates are insane....as in, I could lease a Volvo and have money left over for a Harley. If you lease one of these, you have got to be nuts.
 
Also, I am ticked because GM would only allow me to use $1k rebate from my GM card eventhough I have $3500 on it.
 
So, I ended up with an equally equipped Pacifica. Not my first choice, but I drove off the lot for $12k less then the Arcadia I wanted. Looks like I am getting the Harley too - LOL

SLE-1 Base Price Discrepancy by jeff95ta
Dec 21, 2007 (7:05 pm)

I'm seeing two different base prices for the SLE-1, either $31,990 or $32,500 (both include destination). Some window stickers from the GMC site show one price, others show the other. I thought there was a price increase, but the earlier VIN number has the higher price, and a later has the lower price, and an even later has the higher price.
 
And even weirder is the "Build your GMC" portion of the GMC website. When you get to the choose color screen, the base price changes from $31,990 to $32,500 (with the default Summit White color). If you choose a different color, then go back to Summit White, the price changes to $32,500.
 
Anyone have any idea what's going on? Am I wrong that the VIN numbers are sequential, and that higher numbers are built after the lower ones, so maybe there was a price increase?

This is a very confusing process, so you are not alone. GMC is not the only one either that makes this tricky. You may have simply selected a color that has an added charge for the special paint.
 
Sometimes you have to just dive-in, buy the thing, and not look back - lol
 
No one ever gets a good deal on buying a new car. Anyone who says they did, is just in denial. It's all about damage control and minimizing the losses - lol

It was for the same color. I had sent a message to GMC and received a phone call (on a Sunday of all days!) stating that they saw the same problem on their website and were escalating the call response.
 
I still don't know why there are different prices on the window stickers, but at least it's a start.

Enjoy the truck and sounds like a good price. Was this price before or after rebates? On the more equipped models, it seems to be much harder to negotiate at least around here.

It was a not very well equipped model (perhaps thats why we could negotiate?). Since it comes standard with everything we need, we specified an SLE-1 with no options. We originally had been quoted invoice (28,545) with $300 under invoice plus the $500 rebate, for a total of 27,745. However, as luck would have it, after agreeing on a price and showing up the next morning the dealer had sold the truck that we agreed upon, so we got one with an additional trailer package for the same price. The trailer package adds approx $475, which means we ended up getting our Acadia for approx $1275 under invoice. We purchased ours from a dealer in southern california

Hi,
So I am more of a Saturn Outlook fan and was looking for the "Prices Paid..." in the Saturn section but found none. I recently purchased an Outlook and just wanted to share my experience with you Acadia fans.
 
Mod, could you please creat a "Saturn Outlook Prices paid...." discussion, please?
 
December 29, 2007 I drove to Los Angeles to make a deal on my Outlook. Was able to negotiate invoice pricing.
 
Purchased a 2008 Saturn Outlook XR
Silver exterior with Ebony interior
8-passenger / cloth seats.
 
Options:
Trailering pkg
Navigation with ‘backup camera’
Convenience Pkg (Remote start and
Power lift gate)
 
Price: MSRP Invoice
                                     30,190 28,530
Opt Equip
UZR TouchScreen 2,340 2,176
Navigation
 
PCU (with UZR) 685 637
 
PDC Conv Pkg 870 809
 
V92 Trailering Pkg 425 395
 
Destination Charge 735 735
 
Total with Options 35,245 33,282
 
I offered 33,200 before the $500 Discount.
 
Price paid: $32,700.00 before taxes.
 
They wanted to add $695 for ‘paint protection’, $195 for ‘pin stipes’ and $350 for “marketing fee’. I said no to all these.
 
Saturn of Torrance was great.
