I have had my car since Saturday too.....Loving every minute of it. My gas gauge is showing 15.9 mph. Love the idea of the chrome strips...I will look into that. I agree that this is a superior vehicle. Lexus owners will be jealous. Can't compare. Bluetooth and keyless pushbutton would make it complete, Love it...

What color combination did you get? What did you pay for it if you don't mind me asking? Lease or purchase? What options did you get? I agree with you too that Lexus as well as others will be jealous of this car.

I hope that the wait for my Enclave isn't as long as some of the posts I have read. I don't think that I have ever been so excited about a purchase that I won't even get to use. (It's for my wife... Dark Crimson Metallic - I think that it is a unique color, in the sunlight it looks Dark Cherry; at night it looks Black). Just happy for her/us to get out of an old Venture Van. Was going to surprise her and swap car out for her at work when it came in, but got mixed reviews from friends/family on plan.. also she was asking to many money questions lately and started to think I was up to something... So asked her color choices and she said dark. I fell in love with the Enclave after first test driving Acadia, Outlook, and MX-9. Enclave is by far the best looking (also i like the fact that i rarely see one on the road; all the others must have had good years selling in NH becasue thats all I see (mostly Acadia's).. and Enclave handled better then then others except MX-9 (small for us with the 2-3-2 setup)... Anyway, my question stands; Ordered on 4/1/08, what do you think is a reasonable timetable for delivery? (Dealer said varies, but 6 - 8 wks leaning towards the 8wks.) Hope it is soon, can't wait.

Newly purchased Enclave CXL FWD

Just purchased the CXL FWD, using the GM Military Discount. What a hassle...but stayed firm and bought it for a couple dollars over invoice. Specifically, invoice = 36,444 cost = 36,536. Went to the Buick website and used the "Build It" link and it searched the surrounding area for the most closely matched vehicle. One dealer pretty much refused to sell me the vehicle stating that the vehicle that came up in the search was already sold. I asked them to find another one in the area and they did, but the next day they said that was sold. I asked for the dealer's info, since deals fall through sometimes, and they refuse to give it to me. That when I knew something was shady. I did another search and found another dealer that again closely matched and when through some haggling with them. They didn't want to give me the military discount either. I then said that this is a corporate discount and they were the second dealer refusing to give it to me since the vehicle is somewhat of a hot seller and that I was going to notify GM about this practice. To make a already long story short I got $2500 off the MSRP and an additional $500 for a military rebate. Glad that's over with...I hope! I just hope that other military personnel aren't going through this.

I believe there are some other money discounts available now to buyers for April. The $500 conquest rebate (instant) if you drive another brand already other than GM and if you have a GM vehicle registered at the same address as you live or are putting on the new cars contract, you get I believe an additional $1,000 off the vehicle. The sad part about what they did to you is that the dealer doesn't eat the rebates they gave you...GM subsidizes it. The discount the dealer takes off the selling price itself is what they give up. Check out this website and see if the discounts I mentioned to you apply: www.autodollars.com
Hope it's not too late if there is more money for you available and either way, enjoy your new SUV.

Ordered my White tricoat cxl on Nov 9... picked it up Feb 13.. so yes estimate 8-12 wks if not sooner. I had the holidays to contend with so you may be better off. I love the car it is stunning however I am reading a lot of horror stories about it like rusting under the carriage. Mine is showing such a thing and it has been in the garage with little exposure to rugh weather. Also check engine light sensor problems it goes on and on look at "Buick owners give us your report" section. It is heartbreaking because I am really enjoying this car and all the starses I get but I hope I do not regret this... Millie.

You may keep it in the garage but where do you live? Are you up north with salt on the roads? I am in Florida...don't have to worry about salt but hope I don't have the rust problem that you have. I just went to the dealer today...left it there yesterday overnite to get the stainless steel shiny metal strips installed on the window pillar posts between the front and rear side windows...loods amazing on my Carbon Black vehicle. I also saw a white Enclave at the dealer with it installed and looked great too. I also picked up a rear cargo net and cargo area floormat. Just like you, I am so far loving this Enclave...of course, tomorrow is only two weeks that I have had the vehicle.

This is my second week driving my White Tri Coat Enclave. Loving every minute of it. Where did you get the chrome strips found them on line and they were stainless steel., Sounds really cool. We ordered a cargo tray that fits against the third seat GM approved accessory by Husky. Looks good. Mileage is improving and everyone is still looking at my vehicle. Having lots of fun. I have the grey interior (originally ordered cashmere) and it looks great. I saw what i thought was rust on my inner wheels after it rained and because it was left outside. I drove it and it disappeared. Kind of strange.
