What a day! After spending all of this week browsing this forum and thinking I was going to trade for a Terrain, we went car shopping today. We went to our dealer that sold us DH's Acadia and I was honestly shocked. He wanted sticker and only padded our trade allowance by a few hundred dollars to justify it. We walked. DH got on the cell and we started calling around to other dealers to see what they had in stock. Ending up speaking with someone from a dealer about 30 miles away. He had no Terrains, but said to stop by and talk to him, so we did. He found us a Terrain like we wanted, gave me a reasonable trade allowance and showed us their "dealer invoice". Now, I know that's not the actual invoice that they will pay for the car, but I feel pleased enough to pay that for the car. He totaled everything out, negative equity and all, and I was a little unhappy with the final deal. We had him search for other Terrains without NAV to bring the cost down. While doing so, he asked if we were set on a Terrain. I said for the most part, but what do you have in mind? He said he had an Equinox LTZ on the lot that he had gotten in from another dealer and he'd make me a good deal. I went and took a look and it was a no brainer! I did think to ask to drive it first! LOL So, DH and I take off in the Nox and loved it. So, DH decides that he thinks he can trade his Acadia, which is really more vehicle than we need, and take advantage of the fuel efficiency of another Nox..... so, the dealer locates him an LTZ, calculates his trade and makes us another good deal.
Sooooooo, hopefully tomorrow we will be driving home in our TWO new Nox LTZ's!!!
Want to thank everyone on this forum for all the wonderful posts that made us comfortable in this decision!
