Anyway, I did my initial communication over the internet, knowing that I had the invoice price (from cars.com) with my configuration. I got a response from the GM Buypower internet guy at one of the dealers and went and spoke with him about getting an equinox my way, and ordered my equinox on June 14th and was told it would be 8-10 weeks. I got the salsa red LT with the 1SD package, XM Radio, CD/MP3 Player, Premium 7 speaker sound with 180watt amplifier and subwoofer (professional musician so I had to get that, since I spend more time in my car than I do at home), and the sunroof.
Cars.com had the invoice price with my configuration at $24,712. MSRP was 26,800. I got mine $25,237. I got mine (before tax,licence,etc.)
Incentives not known until the car arrives. I am pouring on charges on my gmcard so I can cash that in, Last check, I had about $700 on it. I wasn't planning on buying a car but my 98 cavalier just turned the big 100,000 and was giving me problems + I need peace of mind that my car turns on at 2am, after a gig. Plus we had a huge hail storm in St.Louis in May, and my cavalier was declared totalled since it would cost $6,000 to repair a car that's worth $3500 so I got the settlement for my cavalier. I will report back with the final total, if anybody really cares.
have a 2k rebate ... its not even '05 yet and
its a new model .. I *bet* towards end of
'05 .. the rebates will be close if not up to
5k.
I hear they are selling well but not well enough
to exclude rebates .. my feeling once the initial
hype of a new model dies down .. they will start
piling up on dealer lots.
ps. If you are considering this model .. I urge
you to wait. Deals will get better.
Also you will be able to get a better discount
off sticker (this is before rebate deduction) because dealer lots will fill up and dealers
will want to move these out of their lots.
Hope this helps .. WAIT it out is key ...
Sticker was $29,300, received $1700.00 dealer discount, and $2500.00 from GM. for a total off sticker of $4200.00. Final price was $25,100.
The break down of the $2500.00 from GM is $1500.00 in GM card earnings, and $1000.00 rebate.
is $2k.
I hope you did not get ripped off.
Your final price should of been $24,100.
Very happy with the dealer experience, love the car. The cloth interior is a little blah, but love everything else.
Sorry to hear about your bad luck. Your comments are probably more appropriate for the regular Equinox forum, which you can find using the drop down menus at the left of the page, or you may find an appropriate discussion in the "Problems" forum.
Thanks!
BTW, has any member seen the e-news article stating that GM's market share went up to its market high 18-19 years ago?:surprise: A couple of the Asians also increased a few points. FoMoCo slid down a few percentage points. No mention of Dodge or DC.

I don't know about your DMV; but Indiana's BMVC registers and tags the 2005 Chevrolet Equinox LT, front wheel drive, Truck Division-SUV as a Wagon with its drive as 4W :confuse: Strange. At least my current tag from the old Metro will serve on my Equinox.
Thursday evening , My father and I are going to a service seminar for Blue Boy. Do you remember the old Masters paintings of Pinky and Blue Boy?. My father calls him Ole Blue
All most a month past purchase and I'm still waiting for the customer survey form. Maybe it'll be at the seminar :shrug:

Paid 21,700 plus TTL. 0% for 72 months.
Couldn't be happier. And the 0% on the last day of the month means happy dealing!!
The hood scuffs and the driver door came out ok. The scratch on the tailgate won't buff it. Its beneath the clear coat (you can feel the divot with your fingernail). They touched it up and buffed it, but you can see the scratch still and feel it as well. Its about an inch long, with one side deeper than the other
They've offered to paint the tailgate for us. Not sure I want to do that- given that the paint shop job will not be as durable as the factory paint.
What would you do? If you don't think we should have it painted, should we expect some kind of "compensation".
Maybe they would throw in an oil change? Not sure you'll get any compensation if you've taken delivery.. They have already offered to paint the tailgate.. which is probably all they can do..
You'll have a door ding within a month and forget all about it, I'm guessing...

Thoughts?? Thanks!!
# of dealers in an area to prevent competition. The equinox is sold by the 3500 chevy dealers in the country. (Honda has 1000 Saturn 700).
Equinox regularly sells for $3500-4500 off MSRP (rebates, hidden dealer cash, etc.) I don't think the Vue gets reviewed with flying colors, although I like its styling. GM may have a better deal with the 100000 warranty.

Anyone here cross-shop the Equinox versus the VUE? What did you find? Seems to me that the 8" greater length of the 'Nox isn't translated into 8" more space inside?? I think overall we like the 'Nox better but are debating if its worth a couple extra grand.
Thoughts?? Thanks!!
Is this a reasonable price? anybody help? I am down in CA.
