#138 of 268 Re: Does "invoice" include LAM? Is Conquest $1,000 or 500? [kcorey] by JBaumgart Oct 16, 2007 (2:01 pm)
Replying to: kcorey (Oct 16, 2007 8:39 am) I agree, this makes no sense. It sort of reminds me of Comcast (and other companies) giving special deals for new customers only, just to get them in the door, while their loyal customers pay the full price.
#139 of 268 Center Console Delay by mmboss Oct 19, 2007 (10:46 am)
The dealership called yesterday to tell us that the center console for the second row will not be available until January. When we ordered the car in late Septmeber, they said it was going to be available then. Anyone else hearing this?   Then, the man at the dealership offered to cancel our order for us, if we wanted to wait until January to reorder. Why would a dealer want us to cancel? The center console is not a priority for us, so we are going to go ahead with the order.   The dealer told us 8 - 10 weeks from when the order went in- October 1st. Based on the information here, I'm sure it will be much longer! Replies to this message: beach15 (Oct 27, 2007 9:32 am)

Replying to: mmboss (Oct 19, 2007 10:46 am) Correct. It was delayed in re-development, and they then said late September/early October that it would be available. But, that changed again, and now it is on indefinite hold.   If some of you get familiar with "other" specific Buick Enclave forums on the web, here was what was posted by a member, direct from the GM Hot Sheet to dealers on October 12, 2007: DK1 (2nd Row Center Console)...Although we had announced that the DK1 center console would be available for production at the end of this month, there are now Engineering issues that prevent us from building the DK1 center console. We now expect to keep this console on 0% constraint until likely after the first of the year. Although the option will still be in Order Workbench and Autobook, please refrain from ordering this option at this time due to long lead time.   So, it just isn't available yet, despite what was said earlier.
#141 of 268 Buy rather than lease by jacobm Oct 30, 2007 (6:36 pm)
I am trying to figure if is worth it for me to buy this vehicle rather than lease. Can anyone offer an educated guess based on their prior experience what I can expect this car to be able to fetch in 4 years? FYI - looking at a CXL fwd 7 passenger with sunroof and navigation. Thanks. Replies to this message: easym1 (Oct 30, 2007 6:51 pm) jacobm (Oct 30, 2007 9:39 pm) easym1 (Oct 31, 2007 11:50 am) mevande (Nov 22, 2007 3:43 am)

Replying to: jacobm (Oct 30, 2007 6:36 pm) If you are planning to get the most of your car, buy it and drive it to the ground..but if you plan to have a new car every 3 to 4 years, you might as well lease it. If you are self employed, leasing could also have some tax benefits. Replies to this message: jacobm (Oct 30, 2007 9:39 pm) easym1 (Oct 31, 2007 11:50 am) mevande (Nov 22, 2007 3:43 am)

Replying to: easym1 (Oct 30, 2007 6:51 pm) Leasing quotes for 36 months with 0 down was $700 a month = $25,200. Sounds like a pretty awful deal to me. Replies to this message: easym1 (Oct 31, 2007 11:50 am) mevande (Nov 22, 2007 3:43 am)
#144 of 268 CX AWD Price by dengj Oct 31, 2007 (3:38 am)
Hi folks,   I got an quote from an dealer in IL for the Enclave on their lot. I like this model & color, and trying to determine if this is a good deal:   CX AWD Red Jewel tint paint Driver confindence package   MSRP $35,705.00 Invoice: $34,035.00 (though Edminds Invoice price $33,710) Dealer Price: 33,700 Less conquest dollars $500 (not sure if this is true, but the dealer said GM reduced conquest dollars to $500 just 2 wks ago)   Final price: 33,200 + TTL   Is this a good deal?

Replying to: jacobm (Oct 30, 2007 9:39 pm) Hello jacobm, either way you go, you will lose unless you keep your car for as long as you can. One thing we're not sure is the depreceation. If you buy it and sell it after 3 years, will you be ahead? How much did it cost you including interest in 3 years to purchase the car, and how much will you able to sell this car 3 years later. If the car got a good resale value, you're ahead but if the car depreciates big time, you're behind. There's just a lot of factors involved.   Or you can ask yourself, how much can I pay every month without breaking my wallet?...then, decide on that budget.   Good luck to you my friend whichever way you decide.
#146 of 268 Re: Delivery on Enclave [JBaumgart] by seloo Oct 31, 2007 (2:42 pm)
Replying to: JBaumgart (Oct 12, 2007 6:50 am) There is a good article in today's WSJ concerning production limits for the Enclave. Since GM has rid themselves of future health care cost, they are going to try to control inventory like other car makers do and keep demand high. It may be a somewhat risky plan, considering the new Chevrolet model of this car is coming our next year. The article also said that the Outlook lags when compared to the other models. Interesting.

Replying to: seloo (Oct 31, 2007 2:42 pm) It's easy to figure out why the Outlook lags behind the others: $$$$. While the Outlook starts with a lower base price, a fully-loaded Outlook has an MSRP equal to an Acadia. With Saturn's "no dicker" policy, their Outlook ends up costing more than a comparably-equipped Acadia when discounts and incentives are factored in.
