Yeah it seems as if dealers are still not quite getting it that the economy is in terrible shape and people aren't buying SUV's. I would buy one if someone sold it to me for near cost but that's it.

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.

$11K off MSRP is a bit steep, but if a particular unit is sitting on the lot for more than 3 months, there is a great chance the dealer had to repay the car to the manufacturer.
 
Ideally the dealer would like to recoup the cost of the car and lost interest, but reality is that in this economy we would all rather not have lost 20%-40% of our market investments.
 
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.

I am also curious to what kind of deals people are getting now days.
 
GM is hurting...big time. The GM discount did not help that much either.
 
I am looking at a 2009 SLT-2 with navigaiton, etc. List price $47k.
 
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.

About three weeks ago, I was looking for a 2008 SLT-2 w/ Nav. and DVD Ent. in white. All three local dealers that let me walk had one with those specks on the lot. Today, ALL three dealers still have them on the lot. I am going to try again in the next few days. Maybe October has been a slow month (of course it has!) and they will want or need to make a sale before the end of the month. I am looking for about $10k off of list.

Yeah, that seems fair to me in this economy. Let me know if you find one that takes $10k off. That is what I am looking for as well.
 
I am going to ask a couple of more dealers this week, as the month ends to see if they will take it.

How come your Acadia weighs over 6k lbs?

Might be looking at the GVWR, rather than the curb weight..

I just purchased the last 2008 SLT-2 that the dealer had in the lot here in Columbus, Ohio and paid $34,150. It is fully loaded with Nav and Ent pkg and list was over $46K. I started shopping this dealer over the internet three weeks ago. After working with him for a bit, offered my GM employee pricing and then just yesterday, he gave me an extra $750 in "cash certificates." I'm please...I think I got a great deal. I wish I could have done better on the interest rate but banks are tightening up. I'll try to refi in 6 mos. Hope this helps!

I think that is a great price! Based on your sales contract can you break down the 12K in discounts by component (factory incentive, employee pricing, loyalty rebate, cash certificates, etc)? Also, can you share the details from the windows sticker (Factory MSRP vs dealer add ons; maybe list the option group name). I would love a scan of the window sticker but don't want to overburden you/.
 
I would love to make that deal work here in Texas but need to understand all the details.
