Replying to: autowrite (Dec 26, 2008 12:04 am) GM should try to make the argument that the Acadia, Enclave, Outlook, and Traverse are a better alternative. When I trade in my Odyssey next year, I'll be taking a very hard look at the Traverse and Acadia (especially since my wife will likely kill me if I stick her with another minivan!). One thing that does bother me about the domestic makers is that prior to their recent difficulties, their prices were absurd. I bought my Mercedes C350 for about $5k less than the Cadillac CTS I really wanted to buy. Even the BMW 335 was less expensive. GM has to drop this dependency on rebates and offer lower total costs of ownership if they want to bring foreign car buyers back into the fold...

Based on some previous posts it seems that 9-10k under msrp is in the realm of possibility for a 2008 SLT 4SA model. Does anyone have any recent experiences to share? I'll post mine once i pull the trigger. I'm in Ca. Thanks,

After waiting for a price drop in the acadia family for over a year my husband and I took advantage of the other car dealers not receiving my tax money who actually need to sell their cars. Though the dealer was desperate, there was just no support from GM to allow him to sell the car to compete with comps from other makers. We liked the acadia from the start, and was always our first choice, but I just thought they were asking too much from the start. When we started looking over a year ago, salesmen just laughed when I said this, saying 'it's so popular, we can't keep them stocked' when I commented on its price. It's not like GM invested in a whole new system, they just don't get it that they can't make the same car 4 ways on the same chassis and make 30K in profit anymore. And I'm so mad that those high paid execitives are getting my money because they don't have any common business sense.  Anyway, off my soapbox... We were not desperate for space, I just have two BIG dogs (newfoundland and st. bernard), and my little saab 9-3 is not quite the dog mobile, though they did love to ride in it. After considering price, what's included, consumer reports, edmunds, safety, etc., etc., we went with the Hyundai Santa Fe. Not a car I expected to like, but don't snob past the Hyundai dealership, it's not like the old hyundai. And that warrenty...can't beat that. My dealer also through in oil changes and Hyundai is practically giving those things away. It was cheaper for me to buy new than used. If you're interested in that, you can look at my post in the prices paid in the Santa Fe section. Best of luck to you all, but if you're like me and are willing to wait for a better price, you may just want to move on and take advantage of dealers who actually need to move product for capital. Thanks for your help this past year!

Replying to: ifsandbuts (Jan 13, 2009 5:06 pm) I really love the Traverse and Acadia, but dealers are only offering $3-5k off. That puts the price higher than the MDX (including special financing), Honda Pilot, Mazda CX-9 and even lower end ML350s and RX350s. I want to buy American, but given the higher purchase price AND lower resale value, how can I justify that?
