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.

I made several attempts to get a price quote on a basic AWD Acadia from the 3 dealers in my area by email. I had bought my last vehicle this way, and really liked it. That was in '03, and I thought it would be possible again. Nope! One place sent me bizarre replies with no price whatsoever, not even a mention, and the two others gave me about $200-300 off sticker, and they were mostly loaded up. Neither of them would budge, and one place told me they didn't normally do dealer trades (I had found one about 100 miles away exactly as I wanted it). I was recovering from knee surgery, and I even hired a guy to negotiate for me, and he tried to work out a deal on an Outlook and an Acadia, and basically got nowhere. They only wanted to sell me what was on the lot for a little off sticker, and that was it. I was offered a Vue for a great price though at the Saturn place, but it's too small, and I really didn't like it. The place that never gave me a quote sent me a message later asking if I had made a decision based on the "quotes I sent you before". As soon as I mentioned this to the car buyer, he laughed and said her name. Apparently, she's famous for this kind of stuff.
 
One of the cars on my list was a Dodge Charger, and that's what I wound up with. So far, I'm very happy with it, and got it for about 5K+ less than any AWD Acadia or Outlook I could get. The hemi is a a lot of fun too. Maybe an Acadia next time!

Hi,
kyfdx -
"Saturn Oulook: Prices paid and...."
 
thanks for the heads up. But, it would be great if it actually showed up under the "Saturn Outlook" section. This way, we wouldn't have to go searching for it.
 
Any ways, I am enjoying my new '08 Silver Outlook XR and just want to inform everyone you CAN get a deal on them also.

Acadia vs Saturn by asylum575

I went through the Acadia vs Outlook debate last June. I was in the market for a 7-8 passenger vehicle when I learned of the "new" Acadia. It had just come out and Buick announced the Enclave. I really liked the Acadia, but the dealers in NY/NJ area were only discounting $500 if that. I learned about the Outlook on this forum. Never had stepped foot in a Saturn dealer before, mind you, I car shop for recreation. Well, The Outlook was basicallty the same car, same warranty, priced $1500 less. I then took delivery of a demo with 1500 miles. All said, I bought a basic XR AWD for $27000. Very happy with the Saturn experience. I still look at the Acadia on the road and am OK with the fact that I got my Outlook for about $3000-3500 under the Acadia sticker. The only concern I have is resale value of Outlook vs Acadia later on.
