Replying to: winedogs (Apr 02, 2007 9:27 am) I have been reading this forum since I ordered my Acadia back on March 7th. Well, on April 12th the car arrived. A silver w/ blk leather SLT2 with sky roof, DVD, trailer pkg and 8 pass seating. The experience was fine because I have purchased a car from them already. I was going to use my GMS price but I was not eligible for the 1k conquest if you use the GMS program. So the dealer made a deal to sell me the car for 36700 and then give me the rebate ($35700). The car is better than I ever imagined. It drives great and the amenities are better that most cars we looked at. We have looked at cars for about 1 year and waited for the Acadia to arrive and test drove it. The interior room is by far the best I have seen. I almost settled for a Tahoe boy am I glade we waited. I have heard about the transmission TCM issues but have not experienced it with my car. The six speed transmission takes some getting use to. So far the best vehicle I have owner. Home run GMC...

Replying to: winedogs (Apr 02, 2007 9:27 am) We got our Acadia for 32,000 it is just the base model. The dealer would not budge much on the price. I am curious as to how other owners get on milage. We are only getting 12 MPG and on a hiway trip to Las Vegas we got 19 MPG.

Replying to: cajun53 (Apr 21, 2007 5:26 pm) Employees of companies that have a business relationship with GM...well, last year GM & maybe Ford and Chrysler all ran promotions to give the 'supplier' pricing to everyone. Your HR department can tell you if your company is in the supplier pricing program for GM (or Ford or any of the others). GM supplier program information is available at https://www.gmsupplierdiscount.com/ip-gmsupplier/ then look under the FAQ section for more information.

Replying to: chipster562 (Apr 21, 2007 6:39 pm) As I stated last week, I paid just under $28000 for an SLE-1 (sticker $31K+) from Gay GMC in Dickinson Texas. It was the one advertised in the paper and it had pretty much exactly what I wanted, so I bought it.   My MPG has been a low of 16 and a high of 23. Average over 2100 miles has been around 18+. I did change the oil & filter at 1000 miles, though I doubt that did much to help mpg. I'm slightly disppointed in the mileage overall but 23 mpg highway at 75-80 mph is pretty good and I doubt any other vehicle would do much better.   BTW there is a writeup in USNews and World Report that picks the Acadia as the best overall alternative to a minivan and the best value as well.

"   I don't remember the details of the testing used to get the current EPA sticker rating (25-26 on the Lambada 2WD IIRC), but I don't think it was based on 75-80 mph driving. If you are getting 23 mpg at that speed, you could probably get 26 at 60-65 mph.   I went and found a listing for the tests...more than I thought...might be the new test schedules... http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/fe_test_schedules.shtml   Now there will be 5 tests instead of the 2 previous ones, starting with 2008 models.

Replying to: wlbrown9 (Apr 23, 2007 12:58 pm) I agree. There are many factors that make it pretty tough to get the posted highway figures. My old Ford owners manual said to expect a 15% decrease in mileage for 65 mph instead of the 55 mph the test was based on. Combine that with the higher ethanol content of the fuel we also have now and I think the 23 highway is pretty good. What is diappointing is the city number or combined driving numbers. For example I made 2 identical 80 mile round trips this past weekend. For these 160 miles I averaged 18 MPG and over 100 miles of that was 65 mph highway driving. Seems I should be getting better than the city estimate.   There was also an article I read online the other day about a guy that drove the length of the Garden State Parkway in NJ at the posted minimum speed (45 mph) in a corolla or camry and got 57 mpg! So speed is the biggest factor but if the speed limit is 70 mph, it is not safe to drive 55.

Replying to: anthony008 (Apr 20, 2007 8:38 pm) Noticed many people say they can't use the GMS discount price and get the $1000 Conquest cash. I went in today to spec out a vehicle to order with the GMS price and the 1k Conquest cash and my salesman told me I could get both. Is this a regional thing or am I getting my leg pulled. Also...With the GMS price, can the dealer add the delivery charge and the doc fee?? I know for a fact the the Ford equivalent of this program does not allow any extra fees to be added, including destination/delivery and documentation charges...just TT&L. Thanks for the help.
#82 of 405 SLT2 - price quote April 2007 by mtnwestsienna Apr 29, 2007 (8:39 am)
Hi,   As you can see from my username I was set on buying a Toyota Sienna (minivan) until I came across the Acadia. It is a great option in terms of people/cargo hauling capacity that we need yet I don't have to hang my head in shame as I give in to driving a minivan   We love the looks/styling of the Acadia and the interior is very competitive with what you would get space wise + seating capacity as the minivan so in my mind it is a clear winner over the minivan.   Anyway, we have closely inspected the Acadia including test driving it at length and now have a price quote that I wanted to run by the forum.   PRICE QUOTE SLT-2 w/everything including navigation, DVD, sunroofs, jewel red exterior (the only thing it doesn't have is the heads-up display + the wheels are the standard alloy wheels on the Acadia) MRSP = $44,315 INVOICE = $41,718 SALES PRICE = +$500 over invoice ($500 + $41,718) TOTAL = $42,218 CONQUEST REBATE (we don't own a GM vehicle) = -$1,000 FINAL SALES PRICE = $41,218 + TTL

Hi All,   Here is the quote I got for Acadia SLT-1 + convience pkg, power liftgate and moon roof. I'm planning to purchase around Memorial day, hope I'll get even better deal. Still deciding if I should get the Acadia or Honda Odyssey (which is around $27,700 for the same spec).   Quote: $33,618 - $1000(conquest) - $500 = $32,118 and possible $1,350 from my GM card.   Is that good deal? Anyone know the money factor for Acadia? Thanks. Replies to this message: vinnyny (May 02, 2007 6:23 pm)

Replying to: 1gianni1 (May 02, 2007 2:44 pm) My wife hates driving a minivan because "It makes me feel old." So, when her whining reaches critical mass, we trade in the Odyssey on an SUV. Since 2001 we have owned: Ody-Tahoe-Ody-MDX-Ody. While we both appreciate the utility of the Odyssey (the most practical vehicle ever made in my opinion), we both miss the SUVs. So, I think we'll be buying an Acadia when the Odyssey's run-flat tires wear out this summer. But, if history is any indicator, we'll be looking for an 08 Ody about a year or so later.   For an active family with kids, there's just no better vehicle than the Odyssey. I hope the Acadia changes my mind...
