| I am shopping for a 2008 SLT-2 AWD with Nav. and DVD Ent. Package in NY, NJ area. The MSRP is around $46k depending on minor options (no financing). One dealer informed me that GM is offering a $1000 rebate; another told me it was $2000. Earlier today I offered two dealers $35,700, which is the invoice price less 10%, less 2k (rounded). Both dealers let me walk. How off do you think I am? There was no one in either dealership and both had plenty of 08's on their lots. I don't think that my offer was that low. In fact, I initially offered one of the dealers $1,000 less. Has anyone purchased a similar model lately? Given the current economy and the fact that I have the cash, I am looking for a real deal. | |

Emmers82, I got my deal at Hubacher. It was an internet pricing error - but we looked a month before we purchased and they were fair from the beginning (willing to start at the invoice price etc.) I don't think we're suppose to post names of sales people on this site, but this gentleman works only Friday through Sunday and he just bought an Acadia for his wife. I hope that helps! As far as the gas mileage, I used to drive a Jeep Grand Cherokee and the Acadia is quite heavier (over 6k pounds). I thought I'd see an increase in mileage on my 45 mile daily commute (highway) but I'm a little dissappointed with what I'm seeing - and that my new car doesn't have the instand mpg feature my old one did. I'm figuring it on old fashioned math. Also - and I'm generally happy with the vehicle considering it was a necessity and it fits all of our criteria, but it's huge. I didn't realize how big it felt during the test drive until I've lived with it for 45 days and 5k miles. If you're looking for a large roomy vehicle this is for you. I'm not sure it would be comfortable for someone under 5'5 to drive. Sounds silly, but at 5'5 I had to 'grow' into it.

Realizing losses is always painful, but losing interest money on the car month after month while it whithers away baking in the sun on the parking lot is no way to recoup it.

They offered it for $42k but I know they can go lower than that. They said that was with the GMC discount. Only $5k off...I was getting offers around $10k off when looking at new Tahoes.
