Do any of you have actual numbers with regard to a CXL purchase? For example, I am trying to purchase A CXL for 400 dollars over invoice, however I calculated that to be
$40,465 before tax, rebate and License fee. Options include dual sunroof, Lux. Pkg., white diamond tricoat, confidence
pack. Ent. pack #4 and 8 pass. seating on a CXL AWD model. The dealer came up with $41,855 which is a difference of $1390 more than my invoice figure of $40,465. (includes $95.00 service fee by the dealer and $400 over invoice.)
 The dealer said the difference may be advertising but he was not sure? I find it irritating that they cannot pinpoint the $1390 difference, however, I will not pay $1800
over invoice.
 To the dealer's credit, he said he would honor the conquest rebate regardless if GM was offering it or not at delivery. Personally speaking GM should honor rebates for it's customers whether or not they are waiting 8 to 10 weeks for delivery but unfortunately most dealers will not do it. This GM policy on rebates may come back to haunt them . What about the loyal GM buyers over the past several years who don't qualify for the Conquest? I guess they are out a $1000.00
 Now to make matters worse GM is on a nationwide strike.
I feel sorry for all of the buyers who will now have to wait
much longer for their Enclaves to be built. GM may be building a great crossover in the Enclave but how much longer will customers have to put up with all of the crazy GM antics in order to get one?????

Concur on the rebate matter. I am awaiting a CXL FWD with option 3 but otherwise the same as yours. My dealer agreed to an invoice + deal as well, but the difference in theirs and edmunds invoice was 968, the advertising assessment. The advertising is a % so yours should not be that much higher than mine. Where the rest of yours is coming from ????????????

Price Paid on CXL Enclave by cowczar

Just ordered my diamond white, ebony interior, FWD 7 pass CXL. I also put on the dual sunroof, trailer pkg, driver confidence as well as lux pkg. Lastly we added the 19" chrome wheels. Price paid was $38,102 before anything (I hope I did well). I don't know if conquest will be available when it's delivered, plus I've heard that many loyal GM buyers (like me) are upset by not getting the same discount as a non loyal GM buyer. Only bummer...12 weeks until I see my white diamond beauty.

I don't know. As I stated earlier they ( the sales manager
at Buick) cannot pinpoint what exactly the $1390 represents.
  "It may be this or that" is not the type of salesmanship a customer can be too happy about.
  I will be searching for other dealers and will search the Madison & Milwaukee WI areas next. ( I live in N.E. Wisconsin)

I wish we have your USA price in Canada by easym1

I have been following this site for a while and finally decided to buy the Enclave south of the border because the price is about 20K cheaper on the AWD CXL despite our dollar now harboring parity. But to my suprise, the dealer advised me that they are not allowed to sell to Canadians or stand to loose their franchise. GM want to force Canadians to buy the car in Canada and pay a huge jacked-up price by blackmailing American dealerships. We are being GOUGED BIG TIME HERE in Canada by not only GM but all automakers. It made me sick!
 
I wonder if Edmund's site can help us Canadians in this regard.
 
Buy the way, I found out at NAATA that many car companies were charged and penalized in millions for doing the same thing in Europe on cross-border purchases. Toyota is the only one that settled the case.

What makes up the difference in the price? Is it the MSRP? Taxes? additional required equipment? or something else.

The price difference got nothing to do with taxes. We pay the Canadian taxes once the car reaches Canada. Also, this car is exempted from the 6.1 duty at the border because of NAFTA. The base price of the CXL AWD in U.S. is about 33K while in Canada is approx 53K. The price difference were almost the same when Canadian dollar was 60 cents to U.S. But the automakers never adjusted that now that our dollar higher than U.S. We should be paying less. I spoke with a custom broker here who will bring the car in Canada for me for a $250 fee but I have to cover the Canadian tax. I rather pay tax on 33K than 52K. We pay 14% tax here in Ontario, just imagine the savings! This is the reason why GM and other automakers are basically blackmailing the American dealers not to sell to Canadians. The automakers were charged with antitrust doing the same activity in Europe.--source NAATA. Why can't our politicians enforces our antitrust law?

I am shocked to hear of your predicament. I live in Seattle and they just had an article on the news about our neighbors to the north coming down here to purchase new cars. The dealers in Blaine Wa. and Bellingham Wa. are selling a lot of cars to the Canadians. I have not heard anything about the dealers not being allowed to sell to Canadians. I must admit that the tv news article was general and didn't name any specific brands, but the impression was that The Canadians were saving a bundle, and until the Canadian dealerships can get the cost of their vehicles restructured from the factories, the rush to American dealers is going to continue.
Did you try just one dealer, or several? It might be worth checking out. I would be interested in hearing what you find out, or if anyone else is expieriencing the same thing.
