these idiots at GM have decided to INCREASE financing rates to 6.9% from the previous 2.9%, when they introduced the "employee discount program"!!!! what a crock of crap!!! so there really isn't going too be a savings here people.. they drop the price about 10% but make it all up with the financing... do u see the gimick GM is pulling, and they wonder why people distrust dealerships!!! i'd rather go over to BMW or Acura, at least they're price drop didn't include a jacked up financial interest rate.. they're still offering 2.9% on their cars/trucks!!

Replying to: roughyear (Aug 21, 2008 2:05 pm) I have an idea - take the lower price and then - *whispers* get your OWN financing. Just a thought. You should probably buy a BMW or Acura - I'm certain they aren't making up that great interest rate somewhere else - no really, they're not.

Replying to: roughyear (Aug 20, 2008 1:54 pm) I was a little ticked about the increase in finance rate, too. The difference between the 2.9 and 6.9 rates on a 60 month loan equates to about a $3,000 price difference when figuring monthly payments. If they still offered the 2.9% I'd have bought one this week. Now I'm not sure; depends on how low a rate I can find. I don't know of any banks that will go below 5.5 %. Most are in the 6s and above. Guess I'll wait a little longer and see what they do. If Hyundai increases their incentives on the Veracruz, that may be my answer. I like the looks of the Enclave better, but was amazed at how the Veracruz drove. Lightyears ahead of the Santa Fe. Really does give the Lexus RX a run for it's money. In looks, styling, and feel.

I'm not sure I understand the employee pricing. Isn't it just a gimmick? Before the employee pricing, people were negotiating thousands off off these cars, and getting special financing. Now the dealers are quoting employee pricing, which seems no better and in some cases materially worse than the best offers you could get before, and the financing is worse. How is this an incentive? Are people able to use employee pricing as a new base to negotiate thousands below? If not, it seems more harmful than helpful. The pricing I've seen on this forum seems to suggest that they aren't being very competitive with pricing versus their competition right now. You can get similarly equipped Toyota's, Honda's, Acura's and Mazda's for example for closer to $10K below MSRP for top-trim, fully-loaded models. You can get the CX-9 for about $31-32K on a model equipped at $42.5K retail, and get 0-1.9% financing. Even Honda is selling brand new model year 2009 Pilot Touring models with nav and all the options for about $33-34K, plus special 1.9% financing at the same time. Similarly, Ford offered me $10K off a top of the line new Flex. And the idea that to do any more means GM is losing money on these is laughable. Dealers actual "dead" cost is many thousands below dealer invoices. They have plenty of wiggle room.

My dh and I are considering a buick enclave 09 CXL and the price on it after what is being called the employee discount is $36000 + tax. I like the car and from what I gathered when I test drove it, I like the way it handles. I am a little less than impressed in the effort involved in getting into the 3rd row seat - its not something we need to do right now anyway. For those of you who have had the enclave for a while now how is the sliding the middle row seats, working out?
