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.

| I haven't seen any indication that GM even wants to continue in business. They have raised prices across the board, lowered incentives, cut back on inventories at the dealerships, and their websites don't even work as well as they did. I'm very disappointed that this major force in our nation has rolled over... | |
My local dealer offered a sale price of $26,573 for a 2008 Acadia 2WD 4DR SLE1 with 21,500 miles. With sales tax and assorted fees the price totals roughly $29,500. I think this is a reasonable offer, but I presume I can haggle for a better deal. What should my ultimately goal be? I am thinking another $3,000 off the sale price. Is that realistic? Any thoughts would be great.

Replying to: mrothman (Jun 12, 2009 8:31 pm) With rebates or 0% financing new cars seem to be a much better overall value. The mark-up on a used car like this one is between $3,500-$5,000. Good Luck! |
