GMO is when you order the vehicle from the factory and GMS is when you buy from dealer stock.
For GMO, multiply the MSRP of the vehicle by .86 + MSRP of options by .82 + full destination fee to get a reasonable estimate of the GM employee price.
GMS is typically a few hundred dollars more than GMO to compensate the dealer for lot fees.
Don't forget to add any incentives currently available...you get them too!
Of course you have to request a GM employee purchase certificate, which comes in a packet with documents that fully explain the GM employee purchase plan rules.
If the dealer wants to honour your certificate, he will tell you so. If he agrees, then there is no room to negotiate the deal with you. He has a computer that automatically calculates GMO and GMS pricing and he should provide you with a printout that details the cost of the exact RDV you are considering.
Good Luck!
$25,520 + 1SB $1471 + Dest. $625 = $27,616
Now GMO:
$21,947 + 1SB $1206 + Dest. $625 + $23,778
Plus $3000 rebate:
GMO price = $20,778
By the way, you should strongly consider getting the 1SC. It's only $500 more than 1SB and you get a ton of additional features, including the 3rd row seat. It's the best value for the CX model.
Got them down to $29915, about $700 above invoice, but exactly what edmunds said I would get.
My case, 35K MSRP - 10% - 3000 rebate - 500 golf rebate - 2500 GM point = 25.5K + taxes
and found a charge of $643.00 for "ADVERT/ADJUSTMENTS". Can anyone tell Me what this is.
Concentrate on your out the door price and don't get too hung up on the various fees. Let the dealer worry about allocating the various line items.

In March'02 we got a new AWD CXL (built Jan'02) fully loaded for ~7K off MSRP. The $400 college graduate rebate helped. Since then we have under 14K trouble-free miles. I guess, it helped that this was a PGA Tournament car. Probably, was hand-picked, and only had 180 miles on it.
What I am saying is double check with Buick if there's a Best in Class dealership in your area. It pays to buy there.

In any case, was thrilled to find a used, but very clean 2003 CX AWD with side impact bags for $18,000 out the door at, of all places, a Chevy dealer. Was a rental return and they had purchased at an auction. Clean record all around. The only visible damage were two tiny cigarette burns on the top of the back seat that had been cleaned impeccably.
Amazingly, the Buick dealers were not willing to negotiate at all, even for the used cars that were promo cars at the big Pebble Beach golf course. Purchased it on the last day of September.. they were desperate for the monthly stats and gave me what I think was an awesome deal!
Time will tell but, six months later, I'm really happy with it. Knock on wood!

Anyway what is a good price to pay for CXL AWD with 3.6L?
Thank you all..
Chrome Wheels
6 Disk Changer
3rd Row seat
Sunroof
MSRP was $34365 (an older build, so $200 less than current MSRP for newer builds)
Negotiated price before rebates: $30,961
Rebates: $6000
Net price: $24,961
I was not happy with the State of California charging sales tax on the $30,961 before rebate price instead of the $24961 after rebate price.
This was an impulse buy... let me know if any of you out there got a better deal.
I only got 6600 off MSRP, but the rebates were only $2000 in 2002. Still, you paid $3600 less for a newer model year.

As far as this vehicle's lease program goes, if you were to lease any 2006 Buick Rendezvous through General Motors Acceptance Corp. right now for 36 months with 15,000 miles per year, its buy rate lease money factor and residual value should be 4.0% and 57%, respectively. The numbers for an otherwise identical 48 month lease should be 4.0% and 50%. GMAC may be offering odd-term leases on vehicles this month, but I am not exactly sure how that program works in terms of residual values. I can tell you that the lease rate for any lease for this vehicle less than 48 months is 4.0%. As you can see, GMAC publishes lease rates instead of money factors for the vehicles that it leases. You can convert its published lease rates into approximate money factor equivalents by dividing them by 2400.

I just received an internet price quote for a 2006 Buick Rendezvous CXL package, heated driver and passenger seats, memory seats and mirrors for $25,429, which appears below invoice. This is before TTL, which I am getting tomorrow. What can I expect on a lease through GM and is this probably the best time to do this based on the market?
Thanks,
Frank
In the past you have always been helpful in giving me accurate information, so I am now asking you once again.
Could you please give me the current interest rate and residual that GMAC is charging for an 06 Rendezvous CXL Plus AWD in New Jersey for the month of February. I was given a quote of 5.4% and 61% for a 39 month/30000 mile lease. Could you also give me the figures for a 36 month/36000 mile lease.
I think the interest rate is on the high side since I just leased a Subaru Outback in November with a money factor of .00145 (3.48%) from Chase.
Also, is there any place where the interest rates are posted?
Thanks,
Phil
I am not aware of any reliable source that provides information on manufacturers' current lease programs to the general public.

Selling price is $16,495. Seems like a good deal. Thoughts?
I was sure to get a printout of the service history before purchasing... wheel bearings, intake gasket, wiper motor... pretty much everything other than the BCM have already been replaced with the upgraded parts.
Thank you all for your posts... it made for a well-informed decision on my part.

P.S. Hopefully we won't get hit as hard by hurricanes this year. We're in need of a break from all of that crazy weather.
2006 AWD Rendezvous, CXL Luxury Package, PLUS CXL Plus Package, with 2nd row captain's chairs.
This is the first offer they've given me - done completely via internet negotiations. I've checked & invoice on this looks like $33,253.
What do you guys think? Should I ask for something even lower? If so, what price do you suggest I ask for? Thanks in advance!
What's going on, am I doing something wrong or is it a bad time to be buying a Rendezvous.
BTW does anyone know whether $1,500 GM bonus cash through 9/5 on top of already existing cash rebates legit?
we looked at a nicely equipped Rendezvous tonite, MSRP was 31500, GMS Price (which we have) is 28172. Received rebates (cap cost reduction?) cash from GM of $2750.
Terms offered to us was 0 down, $355 per month on a 39 month lease, 10k miles per year.
Not sure of the money factor or residual.
Is this a good deal?
Do you know about how much more it would be to go to 12k miles?(meant to ask and forgot).... We live in Michigan.
Thanks for any help....

$32457.20 - $5000 Rebate=$27457.20 Which is my price.
Edmunds suggest Rebate be deducted from best deal arrived at,but it seems as if dealers start with the MSRP.
Is there something wrong with this picture,or is this the way it's done?
Once I have invoice, I start at $200.00 over invoice minus any rebates and offer that to the dealer. I am at this point a serious buyer, and let the dealer know that I am making the purchase once my offer is approved.
I know there is still "hidden" money (dealer holdback, factory to dealer incentives, etc) but I deal only from the invoice. I also ask to see the invoice for the vehicle at the dealership. Very seldom is this refused, since they want to make a deal.
I have purchased my last six new vehicles this way, 5 GM's and one Ford truck. I have never purchased a foreign vehcile, but don't think this works with most, because of demand.
Using just Edmunds and GM information, the rebate is $4750 on the GM site. You should be paying around $26000.00 for this vehcile.
For me this seemed like a no brainer.
Like many, my wife & I shop around as well. We compare base price, we compare options and we compare dealer admin fees. And, we compare used miles under its hood.
In my Canadian area, here's 2 examples:
2005 RDV CXL with 90,000 kms for $19,595
Note: I don't know if FWD or AWD - wtsh they had a simple sticker on their outside - like other brands of vehicles.
2003 FWD CX with 72,000 kms for $11,999
If on adds $300 for dealer admin fees (washing, waxing, E-Test, Certification and license transfer), it brings it up to $12,500 (for the 2003 or $20K for the 2005). Then, add 14% Ontario Region tax on this total amount.
After nogiciations, we got our 2003 RWD RDV with only 72K (52K miles) for under $12,000 - "Out the Door" and legally down the road.
Prices vary from region to region. For us, there's NO WAY we are paying $20K for a used vehicle - especially with 90K already under its hood.

You have always helped out in the past. Looking for the lease rates for some of the few remaining Rendezvous out there -- would like 3yr/36mi lease info (RV and MF).
We're looking at one w/$31,775 msrp, invoice is $29,590. I see that there is $4,000 cash on it, can this be used w/a GMAC lease? If so, could probably negotiate a selling price of $25,590 or less. What would a good lease be on this car?
