Replying to: winedogs (Apr 02, 2007 9:27 am) 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: chipster562 (Apr 21, 2007 6:39 pm) 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.

Replying to: jseck2 (Apr 23, 2007 8:23 am) 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) 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. |

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.

Hi, We're waiting for GM to provide enough incentive for us to pull the trigger on the Acadia. It doesn't seem like they have much bargaining room at the moment off of MSRP. Here is our quote we just rec'd today (5/3/07) on an SLT-2, Red Jewel, 19" wheels, DVD player, Heads Up Display, Cargo area audio controls, HID headlamps, Trailering Package. MSRP - $41,900 INVOICE - $39,660 + $400 (over invoice) DOC FEE - $290 TITLE/LICENSE - $200 TOTAL PRICE = $40,550 LESS CONQUEST REBATE = -$1,000 GM CASH BACK = -$500 GRAND TOTAL / OTD PRICE (AFTER REBATES) = $39,050 + tax We would welcome comments/questions as we're trying to decide how competitive this is or if we can do better.... We're also wondering when the '08 Acadias are going to be available as we would hate to purchase a couple of weeks before knowing what options will be new for '08.
