First off, no dealer in MN-WI are offering near sticker. Most are only willing to take about $1000 off. I've been working with 4 dealers in the MN-WI area and only one would sell to me for Supplier pricing(500-1000 over) + any incentives at the time of purchase. They had one in stock, but I didn't like the color. They offered to order one for me, so I did. Same pricing. This dealer is a mom and pop shop in a small town. Big time dealers in the St. Paul\Minneapolis area, wouldn't come close to the offer. In fact, one them had the car I wanted and the mom\pop shop tried to acquire it for me. They told them dealers are charging other dealers $2-3K over to get one. Also, no dealership I worked with, nor have heard of in any forum, have mentioned a $250 test drive rebate. I've test drove Enclaves at four dealers. And why the hell would they give you a conquest rebate for a GM SUV. BS.

Good luck! I have found that it is not the dealership that is the problem; it is GM. We ordered our Enclave on Sept 12th and on Nov 16th they told us that will be building our car between Dec 12th and 17th. That's right, 14 weeks between accepting our order (and our money) they will build it; not deliver it, build it. We are told we would be lucky if we get it this year. Any wonder as to why GM sales are down in 2007? UNBELIEVEABLE. GM refused to even discuss any proposed schedules or delivery dates until it was placed into production schedules. What a painful eperience since my company car goes away this week... My wife, who was the primary reason we even waited this long is now wanting to look at other cars. Regardless of the outcome; we stick it out for the Enclave or not, i will never buy another GM again. We are going back to Lexus...

Wow, 700.00/Month! It is a nice SUV/Crossover... however if Detroit wants to make in-roads vs. Honda, Toyota ect, they need to offer better deals. MSN auto review only gave it a 7 out of 10,

Def. a risky plan re: keeping inventories low. It is NOT what the Japanese typically do with cars/Suvs here. One example is the Toyota Highlander. A new model for 2008, yet they made enough so people would not have to wait. I think GM's mangement is lacking in common sense.

Charging 'They told them dealers are charging other dealers $2-3K over to get one"" Will be the downfall of GM. We don't need idiot dealers out there.

We ordered our Enclave 2 days before GM went on strike.However,this didn't slow down our delivery. We waited about 6 weeks.Just picked it up Nov 20th.Well worth the wait! Our dealer,Rooster Bush in Lenoir, NC,bent over backwards to assist us.Although there were no rebates(we didn't do trade-in),we were pleased with the price we paid.We have the Cocoa Metallic color which is beautiful.I was disappointed with the lack of inventory every where we checked.The dealers around here are ordering loaded models.We did not want all the options, so decided to order a more basic model.This can save you a lot of money if you are not into rear cameras,sun roofs, etc.May I suggest going to the Buick website and building your own Enclave?Take your print out to the dealer and work with your salesperson to get the best pricing.We also found that the smaller town dealers are easier to work with.Some areas have all kinds of taxes, so you might save if you shop around.We live in a 5 state border area so we had plenty of options.We are well pleased with our new "baby".

Ordered mine on 20 August. Delivered on 21 November. Ken Fowler Buick in Ukiah CA was good. Good price, helpful salesman, careful delivery, explaining and answering questions, and insuring that all systems were go. Salesman found a problem that was fixed while we were doing our paper work.
I will have to change my name from Honda Ford to Buick Ford

From what I have read on the other forums, it makes a great deal of difference what part of the country you are in as to delivery times. I am in rural north CA and we seem to be the slowest part of the country. Regardless, it will be worh it all ---
