#5 of 52 Re: Traverse LT2 prices paid [dol1] by narg Jan 05, 2009 (1:41 pm)
Replying to: dol1 (Dec 28, 2008 10:39 am) Sorry, consider an LT2 AWD with NAV, DVD, Leather and towing, take the Red Tag price and whack another $3500 off which includes GM card rebate: Just under $35,000. With my trade in, my total loan was for $28,000 even. (Amazing what a 10 year old Chevy trades in for these days!)   Can't say enough how happy I am with this vehicle and the price I paid.

#6 of 52 Current incentives by finbar_ohara Jan 09, 2009 (7:25 am)
I am looking at a '09 Traverse 2LT. Last month I could get incentives totaling $5750 with the "red tag". This month it's $4750.   $2000 Rebate $2000 bonus for returning lessee $750 Rebate $1000 Bonus (added mid December '08)   As of Thursday (1/8) the last $1000 bonus is gone and is a deal killer for me because I am leasing and this makes the payment more than my Suburban.   Does anyone know of other hidden $$ that I can use? I am a GM Family member as well. I really want the GM car but I am heading to another brand if I cannot get a decent deal. Buying is out of the question.   Thanks!

If you have a G.M. Mastercard you can use the rebate you have earned and they are offering another $1500 to go with it. Replies to this message: lablover2 (Jan 26, 2009 7:42 am) maxxmd (Jan 27, 2009 6:52 pm)

Replying to: lablover2 (Jan 26, 2009 7:42 am) Yes they are. Google GM card. The site may be gmcard.com/offer. I used mine today and will pick up a Traverse Friday.
#10 of 52 Negotiating price on a Traverse by DonovanG Jan 28, 2009 (8:22 am)
I've notice most who've posted here are using GM card incentives to drive the deal. I have no such card, nor am I a returning GM buyer or lease customer. The last US built car I drove was in the late 80's and it was a terrible diesel Jimmy.   I like the Traverse and am seriously considering it vs. a german built suv/crossover.   Any ideas on bottom line discount including any incentives one could get on vs. MSRP? In other words, how steep of a discount can I get off the MSRP? Based on my initial view, I think they're a bit overpriced to start with.

Replying to: DonovanG (Jan 28, 2009 8:22 am) As near as I can tell, there is basically NO discount on GM cars these days unless you are a returning customer. It's insane -- makes it easy to see why they NEEDED a bailout, but sure is irksome that we paid for it and right now their cars seems to be overpriced compared to every other car out there (oh wait, there is one other manufacturer offering nothing but loyalty incentives right now -- Chrysler, the other bailout recipient!) It's almost like they don't want to sell cars right now -- I can't figure out if that somehow gets them more of a handout down the road or something? And the GM card incentives aren't $1,500 for everyone. Mine were rounded up to $2,000, which means I only got about $1,000 extra. Definitely not enough to bring the lambdas close enough to comparable cars out there.

Replying to: DonovanG (Jan 28, 2009 8:22 am) Hi Donovan,   I agree they are overpriced. I was looking at the Traverse in Dec. when GM offered the Red tag event (supplier discount). The cars were cheaper then. And even cheaper still if you did NOT own a GM product. Gm is NOW offering $2000.00 customer loyalty but as I stated it is now more expensive.The sales men told me there wouldn't be any great discounts since the vehicle has only been on the market for a few months. Although I noticed the Acadia and Enclave have the same promotions and those cars have been in production for the last year go figure. I agree with another blogger that stated maybe they get more bailout $$ if they don' sell cars.

Replying to: narg (Jan 05, 2009 1:41 pm) We went to get an estimate for our 2005 Equinox LT AWD and was offered $8,500 in trade-in value. I asked at least of $5,500 off MSRP on any Traverse... Initially the sale manager offered to up the trade-in to $9000 and the discount to $6,000 to close the deal today. Then he reneged later but we agreed on just $500 more.   Wife really liked the LT for its rear view parking camera and power seat. She didn't want to pay the add'l $3000 in price difference. At the end, we settled on LS AWD for $31,065 (MSRP).   The Equinox has had it shares of engine problems (coolant/intake gaskets/head gaskets leaks; all fixed by GM and still under special warranty for engine repair until 10/2009). We bought the Equinox at a different dealership that doesn't provide free loaner car and the time lost due to constant repairs makes it an easy decision to buy a new car from my local dealership. Also we will need a car for 6 passengers soon.   To avoid the hassle and cost of repairs, we paid a 5yr/100K bumper-to-bumper warranty/zero deductible for $1300... This is a big shocker to my wife as I had never paid for extended warranty.   We are able to use $1000 in GM Card Rebate. In the past, the GM Card rebates were around $2000 to $3500 for our other purchases.   And finally an American car that is built in USA and doing my share to stimulate the economy.
#14 of 52 2009 Traverse FWD 2LT by murphy4 Mar 29, 2009 (9:13 am)
MSRP $38,955 Discounts $7,500   TOTAL $31,455   I think this is a good deal. Anyone seen or heard better? The next hurdle is financing. Of course GM won't let you take 0% and all the discounts according to my dealer. Is that true?
