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...

SLT-2 Quote - May 2007 by mtnwestsienna

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.

Looks pretty good, if that's as close to invoice as you can get.
 
Right now, the demand for the Acadia is just growing so much, that dealers simply don't have to drop the price much, and as part of GM's revised pricing, there really isn't that much room to do so.
 
Granted, mid to late this summer, you may see an increase in the incentive figure or finance rate, but all that will be left then is a few oddly optioned or colored '07s. 2008 production starts on June 18th, and the only changes have already been covered--a rear view camera on models with navigation, a pearl black replacing the Carbon metallic, and a revised pearl white. That's essentially it.

">What kind of discounts are out there for GMS pricing? I have a friend who can get me the special coupons as he is an executive at GM. He can get the employee price and the supplier price. Which is better and how much would those be worth on an Acadia that stickers between 30K-36K? I also have about $600 in GM card earnings and a loyalty certificate from GM worth $2350 for problems I am having with my current vehicle, a 2004 Malibu Maxx . I am thinking that I could get a base Acadia in the low-mid 20K's with these discounts but I'm not sure. For those of you who already own them, what are your positives for them? Any negatives? Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks

I think I paid $50 or $70 for the doc fee. You might be able to do better than $290.

My MSRP was 41170 and I paid 39500. The dealer closest to my house wanted $800 OVER so I traveled 30 miles. Found the vehicle through the GMC dealer online inventory and did all of the negotiations by email. Most painless car purchase ever for me. I love my Acadia. I just finished a 3 year lease on a Cadillac SRX. The SRX costs more than the Acadia but I would choose the Acadia if they cost the same. It handles great, very smooth ride, is more spacious inside and has some great features. Love the heads up display and the power rear hatch open and close from the key remote.

Advertising Fee by boomzer

Stopped by a GMC/Buick dealer this weekend, they had the Enclave and my wife likes much better than the Acadia so I offered $500 over invoice on a fully loaded vehicle, the salesperson initially said no way, but 15 minutes after I got home, they called and said if I take one off the lot it was a deal. Once I got there the deal was still $500 over invoice, but there was a $900 advertising fee as part of the invoice price. What is the deal with this, the dealer indicated that it is mandatory in NJ to pay this fee, any help on this fee would be appreciated.

Here's what Edmunds has to say about advertising fees.
 
"Advertising fees: Sometimes buyers look up invoice prices on Edmunds and find they don't match the invoice price given by a dealer. Is the dealer trying to put one over on the buyer? Not necessarily. This is probably because an advertising fee is involved. If an advertising fee is listed on the car's invoice we consider it a legitimate fee that should be paid. However, if the advertising fee is written into the buying contract by the dealer it is another example of a dealer trying to pass along his expense to the buyer."

My experience is that they usually amount to about 1-2% of MSRP excluding destination.

Thanks, I had read that on Edmunds when I got home as well, but it still doesn't make me feel better. The fee was 2% of MSRP, actually it was two different 1% fees. The manager indicated certain parts of the country do not charge the fee, but in the Northeast it was standard. That said, getting the Enclave for $500 over invoice plus the $900 was not a bad price for a brand new model that just came out. They even let me order one for the same price with no obligation to buy, but I would have first dibs. May stick with the minivan, but having two small kids with carseats, this is the really only alternative in the luxery crossover segment, as the captains chairs allow access to the third row.
