I recently received two special offers from GM, the first was $1,000 to $1,500 off about 5 vehicles, mostly GMC, but the Saturn Outlook and GMC Acadia were both listed as $1,000 off. I was told this could be combined with the Conquest rebate. As my wife doesn't want the Acadia, but likes the Enclave, this is doing me no good. The sales manager at the dealer suggested I call the number on the offer to see about the "hands up" rebate. While GM said they couldn't transfer the rebate to the Enclave, they did say they would put me on a notification list of any special offers that do become available. I'm hoping that in the next couple of months, they will send me something. The second offer was for $250 if I test drove a GM vehicle between May 1st and July something, it would be added to my GM Card points and you have til January '08 to buy a vehicle.
After hearing someone actually got $350 under invoice, when adding the ad fee, that became $500 over the Edmunds invoice, I sent an e-mail to the dealer I put in the order to let them know I was shopping, but they could put an end to my searching if they met that price. They have not responded. I did contact the dealer in MD that Glimo indicated she got the deal from. I'm hoping to get something in writing and then take that around to local dealers. If not, I might go to MD to buy.

Boomzer, are all those GM offers a side benefit of your GM card? Did you have to sign up for special notifications? If I can get another $1k off on top of the conquest cash, that would be grand! It's too late for me to get a new GM card and accrue points, but if I'm lucky enough, I might receive a coupon for Enclave.
The MD dealer i dealt with wasn't really pleasant when we first started negotiating in person. The sales person gave us a nasty look and said the price was way too low. It sounded like he wasn't motivated to sell the car at that price at all. So we left his office and talked directly to his manager. Though at the end we were not able to get the price lowered, at least he took off the doc/registration fees and gave us some free services. Now we just need to do our own tagging and registration.

Glimo: did the dealer in Laurel MD make you come into their offices to do the order, or did they do it over the phone/fax? Due to the distance, and related 295/95/695 traffic, I would like to not waste 45-60 minutes each way in traffic.

We went in person. They didn't say a visit was necessary, but I would've done it anyway since this is a big purchase and too many things can go wrong. If you read the recent posts in the Acadia/Outlook/Enclave thread, you'd probably do the same.

I did not do anything to get the two offers I mentioned. It is probably a good idea to sign up for a card, they fairly regularly send me offers, like double my points, etc. I will get the phone number off the private offer that I called tomorrow and let you know. I can't hurt to call.

That'll be really helpful. When u called the number, did you have to provide them with your GM card information?
The GM flexible card is not as good as before. Only 3% redemption rate now.

What I received was an exclusive private offer valid until 6/18/07. It provided $1500 off on the Chevy Tahoe, Suburban, GMC Yukon & Yukon XL; $1000 off on the Saturn Outlook, GMC Acadia, GMC Envoy and Chevy Trailblazer. The number I called was a general GM number 1-866-908-0008 listed on the offer. They did not ask for my GM card as I don't think they were affiliated. Again, they indicated they could not transfer the offer to the Enclave, but said would put me on a list to be informed of any offers that arise. It definitely could be used in combination with the Conquest rebate. I'm hoping they send something but not counting on it.

Dealer called us on Monday (10 days after we ordered) and said the order has been picked up by the manufacturer but no production date has been assigned. Does anyone have any idea on how long it might take from here on?

I received the same mailing about a month ago. Maybe it was a coincidence, but I had just changed my vehicle preference to the GMC Acadia on the GM Credit Card web site about three weeks prior to that. Unfortunately, we have decidede on the Enclave and don't plan on purchasing it until Labor Day or the last day of 2007.
