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.

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." http://www.edmunds.com/advice/buying/articles/117494/article.html My experience is that they usually amount to about 1-2% of MSRP excluding destination.

Replying to: jfin1 (May 19, 2007 8:57 pm) We've browsed the current inventory extensively in our area (Mountain West) & couldn't find the right SLT-2 as far as options & color(s) that we were interested in. We had to place an order for ours so we didn't get nearly as good of a deal as you did. However, we decided that if we were going to go with ALL the options and pay for it then we wanted it EXACTLY to our specs so I went into it knowing we would would pay a bit more to get it custom. I'll post my final price once it arrives in late June / early July, but it isn't going to be under invoice like you were able to get. I think you will get the best deals with GM right now when you find the right vehicle on a lot and can negotiate for that vehicle the day of purchase (as opposed to placing an order like we did). Just knowing that GM posted poor Q1 '07 sales/earnings + got knocked off as #1 in auto sales by Toyota means they have incentive to move their inventory. Wish more people would have been posting deals like you made earlier because it seems like a lot of previous posts weren't anywhere near what you negotiated for. (Which influenced our decision)... well done
