I agree wit bidi, I would encourage everyone to hang in there. I think this vehicle is worth the wait.
 
I got my Enclave AWD on June 30th - Cocoa color with just about all the options, including Luxury package, Towing Package, Drivers convenience package, moon roofs, entertainment package #4. It was a dealer demo and had about 1,000 miles on it. I would liked to have gotten a brand new one with zero miles, but there were no other Enclaves in the entire greater Pittsbugh area that had the Towing Package that I wanted. I really didn't want the DVD player, but there was $1,000 conquest rebate which mostly paid for it. I was anxious to get one (had the new car fever), so I went ahead and bought the demo one - for a few hundred over dealer invoice press, less conquest.
 
I love this vehicle. It drives and handles great - very smooth ride. It looks really sharp. I have had at least a dozen people come up to me over the past 2.5 months at store parking lots, gas station, etc. and tell me how nice they thought it looked. It is very roomy - even in the 3rd row. The 2nd row captains chairs are super - they make it very easy to get to/from the 3rd row seats - much better than having to flip, fold and/or slide the second row bench seats.
 
Seeing so many people experiencing delays with their orders makes me feel good about my decision to buy off the lot and not to special order (which I wa considering doing, originally). But I have to encourage everyone to hang in there. I believe that you will LOVE the vehicle and it will be worth your wait.

lwolf99, can I ask what you are towing with it (lbs.) and how it handles/rides/accelerates with the additional weight? Also am curious as to the ground clearance - would you mind measuring the distance from the middle of the receiver to the ground?
 
Thanks - JB

JB,
 
Hello. The distance from the middle of the receiver to the ground is about 16.5 inches.
 
I don't really tow much. I got the Trailering package simply so I could mount my bike rack. In my last vehicle (minivan) I got a trailor hitch installed afterwards, and I thought it looked rather ugly. I thought the integrated hitch looked much better. And with the Enclave, it is mounted in the bumper area, and also includes a plastic overthat totally hides the hitch when I don't have anything connected. I think it looks very nice.
 
With the bike rack and our 4 bikes mounted on it, I would guess that I am adding about 300lbs or so of total weight. It handles it fine - although that is certainly not a very heavy haul.
 
I hope that helps you!

2008 is the first model year for the Enclave. It is unlikely that somebody paid below invoice on this popular car. Do you mean below MSRP?

Do any of you have actual numbers with regard to a CXL purchase? For example, I am trying to purchase A CXL for 400 dollars over invoice, however I calculated that to be
$40,465 before tax, rebate and License fee. Options include dual sunroof, Lux. Pkg., white diamond tricoat, confidence
pack. Ent. pack #4 and 8 pass. seating on a CXL AWD model. The dealer came up with $41,855 which is a difference of $1390 more than my invoice figure of $40,465. (includes $95.00 service fee by the dealer and $400 over invoice.)
 The dealer said the difference may be advertising but he was not sure? I find it irritating that they cannot pinpoint the $1390 difference, however, I will not pay $1800
over invoice.
 To the dealer's credit, he said he would honor the conquest rebate regardless if GM was offering it or not at delivery. Personally speaking GM should honor rebates for it's customers whether or not they are waiting 8 to 10 weeks for delivery but unfortunately most dealers will not do it. This GM policy on rebates may come back to haunt them . What about the loyal GM buyers over the past several years who don't qualify for the Conquest? I guess they are out a $1000.00
 Now to make matters worse GM is on a nationwide strike.
I feel sorry for all of the buyers who will now have to wait
much longer for their Enclaves to be built. GM may be building a great crossover in the Enclave but how much longer will customers have to put up with all of the crazy GM antics in order to get one?????

Concur on the rebate matter. I am awaiting a CXL FWD with option 3 but otherwise the same as yours. My dealer agreed to an invoice + deal as well, but the difference in theirs and edmunds invoice was 968, the advertising assessment. The advertising is a % so yours should not be that much higher than mine. Where the rest of yours is coming from ????????????
