#314 of 405 Re: Any recent buying experiences to post? [vinnyny] by Acadia09FL Jan 09, 2009 (10:44 am)
Replying to: vinnyny (Jan 01, 2009 7:33 am) Just got an 09 Acadia SLE for $6700 of MSRP in Florida. Very good deal, great car so far.
#315 of 405 passed on the acadia by emmers82 Jan 12, 2009 (1:50 am)
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: emmers82 (Jan 12, 2009 1:50 am) Have to admit, I am astonsihed by GM's seeming disinterest in actually moving these cars. They are plummeting in sales and their idea of incentives is to offer price cuts only to existing customers? Whatever. I agree with emmers, I reallly WANT to buy one of these cars (been looking at all 4 of the cars on this platform) but am just befuddled with their pricing strategy. I'd love to buy american but they really don't seem to be making that a reasonable choice.

Replying to: ifsandbuts (Jan 13, 2009 4:06 pm) I'm amazed that GM isn't pushing them more myself. I think I posted here earlier that I wanted to buy a CTS when I sold my BMW. The CTS would have cost me $5k more than the Mercedes I ended up buying.   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?

Replying to: vinnyny (Jan 15, 2009 3:04 pm) Yep- i wanted to buy an American made car (Acadia) but they can't even come close to the Honda Pilots Leasing money factor (.0014) and incentives...So i had to go with Honda. Replies to this message: vinnyny (Jan 18, 2009 11:52 am)

Replying to: calbears1 (Jan 17, 2009 9:13 am) Update: my local dealer just offered $8k off on his last 08 Acadia. Now it's only $39K--still more expensive than the highest price Pilot.

Replying to: mack63 (Jan 22, 2009 8:39 pm) Yes it is. I would buy that out from underneath you if I knew where it was. Ha! Which brings me to my second point.........I will not buy a new Acadia from GM because it drives me absolutley nuts that I do not qualify for their rebates. Their marketing people have to be dumber than a box of hammers. Just dirt stupid. GM always gives voice that they would like to get folks like me back (I buy a NEW Toyota about every 3 to 4 years) but I can't bring myself to pay $6K more than someone else who simply qualifies because they're a new grad, err -ah hey! owns a 1999 Cavalier....is a Latvian mother of three....   I guess it's another Sequoia for me even though the Acadia fits me better this time - at least I know I'll have a level playing field when I get to the dealer.
#323 of 405 What should I pay? by planescape75 Feb 09, 2009 (6:48 am)
I recently started shopping for a new Acadia in the New York Metro area (Long Island specifically), and I've seen that some people in this forum have gotten some pretty incredible deals. Right now GM is offering $2000 if you have a lease coming due before September, I get supplier pricing, and I'm going to take the special (1.9 for 72 mo.) financing instead of the $2250 they are also offering. Is $4000 off MSRP plus the financing the best deal I can expect to get at this time in this area, or can I do better? And if I can, how do I get them to go lower? Two different dealers refused to go lower than this, and let me walk. I was very surprised. I also belong to Costco, and AAA if this can help me any. It didn't seem to. Any info, advice or help is greatly appreciated.
