I'm planning on purchasing a Chicago-based Acadia this weekend. With it being end of month, and an large over supply of Acadia's in this market, I'm hearing (from a friend's father who owns a GMC dealership in downstate IN), that my final price before taxes should be "significantly" under Dealer/Factory Invoice, and could be $10K under MSRP. So for the $46,290 MSRP AWD SLT2 I test drove, I'm expecting to pay about $36,000. Does this sound about right? Any other rules of thumb that might help me take advantage of this unprecidented market opportunity?

I am having great frustration getting a decent price on a 2009 Acadia SLT-2 Loaded. All the incentives seem to be aimed at RETAINING their current customers. Why do they have no interest in enticing an import buyer? I am not a finance or lease customer, so those incentives mean nothing to me. I want discounts, not free money from the government. Looks like GM has nothing for me. Sad, this was the first time in over 10 yrs I even am giving them consideration.

Replying to: technoreality (Jun 10, 2009 8:50 am) It seems like they really do not want the business. GM is missing a great opportunity to put a GM car in as many US homes as possible, while Americans want to support the company. |

I finally pulled the trigger. 09 SLT-2, no HUD or cooled seats. Sticker was $47.5. I got them down to $600 under invoice, plus lifetime oil changes, leather treatment, and weather-proof mats for all three rows. They also gave me what I felt was $500 over fair value for my trade in. I walked out and came back the next day, so I'm pretty sure this is the best I could get. I took the 0 for 60 financing, with about $1800 trade equity the payments came out to $749. They said that they're not getting any more until November, so they're not as willing to sell super cheap. I believed it, but maybe I'm a sucker. FWIW, I love the vehicle, although the build quality on minor things is giving me pause............ |

I couldn't agree more with these posts. I am also a very motivated cash buyer who was looking to buy an Acadia this past week, and the dealers I've worked with in Chicago are unfortunately clueless and closed-minded. Not only are the rebates not helping first time GMC buyers, but the internet sales consultants and sales reps in the dealerships are not proactive or helpful. They don't follow-up on open questions, phone calls, emails, and generally don't offer assistance that could help me purchase my Acadia. I'd think is would be a time where they really step up their game and make it easy for us. I loved the car, but I'm moved on to plan B - a Pilor or Hylander. I can say that I did find quite friendly sales folks out of a downstate GMC dealer, but they couldn't find anything for me. Good luck everyone.
