What kind of a discount can/should I expect on this vehicle? I think it must sticker for over 61K and invoices at approx 56K.
Thanks for any help you have to give.
A dealer here in St. Louis has a new 2004 V8 AWD w/ ultraview and the navigation package. Shows MSRP @ $57,235 and has offered $46,127. That a good deal?
Thanks.

My understanding is that $10k was given to dealers for each V8 SRX after Jan 3rd. Anybody know what was provided for remaining V6 SRXs. I am guessing somewhere around $5-6k but I haven't gotten a solid answer yet.
Thanks,
Tom
Both cars are brand new and similarly equiped (includeng the ultra view roof, StabilitTrack and Magna ride), the 2004 has the rear DVD player In addition. $42,600 for the V8 and 44,200 for the 05 V6. But the 04 model is offered with 3% financing compared to 7% for the '05. ('05 V8 not available here yet and not for some months)
I have test driven both, and the V6 felt softer and more responsive, Is this due to the RWD being more nimble than the AWD? Another surprise was the instant fuel consumption of the V6 was reading 11 L/100 km at 60 Mi cruise, while the V8 read 9 L/100 km at the same cruise speed???
Finally does any one had, or expects a problem with the AWD system. I am really concedrned that AWD drive won't age niceliy say at 100,000 mi, while the RWD will age much better.
Any one knows of horror storied concerning the AWD system.
I have 2003 CTS and I love it.
Thanks
Sorry for the delay,
Tom
I think this was a good price but I maybe could have gotten another thousand off. Anyone do better/worse/same?
My build date was 1/04 so I had them put a new battery in, replace the engine oil, and do the three recalls (seats, suspension, and stearing).
Can anyone advise me?
Thanks!
V8, RWD, black/black with 2K miles for 34K
I consider carmax the bench mark for used car pricing and i think that is a great deal. too bad i am not planning on buying one for a nother six months.
The dealer was excellent. Sent me alone with my wife for the prepurchase test drive, I returned it after an hour, and no complains.
Love, it, really nice. built 3/04. Were there any recalls???
DETROIT March 9, 2005; Dee-Ann Durbin writing for the AP reported that General Motors Corp. announced a new round of consumer incentives Thursday intended to help clear slow-selling vehicles off dealers' lots this month.
GM will give cash bonuses of between $500 and $1,500 for vehicles that have been in dealer inventories for at least 125 days, GM spokeswoman Deborah Silverman said. Most of those vehicles will be eligible for $1,000 bonuses, but Cadillacs will be eligible for $1,500. Cadillac sales were strong at the end of 2004 but fell 3.3 percent last month, according to Autodata Corp.
The "March Madness" promotion is similar to a red tag sale GM held in December. GM's sales fell 7 percent overall that month, but the bonuses helped sales of individual brands like Chevrolet and Cadillac. Cadillac sales rose 19 percent in December, helping the luxury brand achieve its best sales year since 1990.
P.S. if i was in the market, i would look at a 2004 AWD v8 SRX with all the options except meybe 3rd row seat for 40K. Is that possible?
GMAC is also offering 0% financing for 2005 SRX on a 36 month loan in the Northeast.
Before engaging dealers I was curious if anyone knew whether these offers are deemed mutually exclusive. Nothing in terms and conditions to indicate that they are exclusive of each other, but there is the ubiquitous "See your GM dealer for details" phrase contained in the terms and conditions.
Thanks in advance for any feedback.
$299/mo. for only 24 months.. $2595 due at signing..
About $400/mo. total for only a 24 month lease.. Not too bad for a car that MSRPs for well over $30K, even if it is used.

Edmunds MSRP is $49,550
Edmunds Invoice is $45,098
Edmunds TMV is $43,639
There is a $1,000 rebate and $1,000 marketing support on the car right now.
One dealer offered the car to me at $42,000 (plus tax and tags). This seems nowhere near the end of 2004/beginning of 2005 prices discussed above. Have I not shopped it enough yet?

I got it for 48k + 2.9% financing. This is in Seattle area & excludes tax & title.
I am interested in 15k miles and was wondering lease payments for these terms were???
its over 900 a month purchase over 60 months
great ride excellent power it could step up the interior luxury though
Not really applicable to Cadillac, though they may have their own advertising fees...

Two things Cadillac could do to make me look next time.
First, drop the complexity. When buying a car for $40K-48k+, do people really want to "choose" a list of "package"d amenities similarly priced cars just include (sun roof, a 3rd row seat, AWD, heated seats, univeral home remote, etc, etc, etc)? Who has time for this?
Second, information is power, so use it to your advantage. Most people buying a luxury vehicle are armed with all the info they need to know they're getting a good deal. Even after informing every dealer I spoke to (4 in all) that I was only going to buy a car from a person/dealer who did not waste my time, I still got the usual (or should I say, "dated") run around. Unfortunately for Cadillac, it's not hard to find dealers of other car brands who understand this.
Too bad for such a great American brand.
