I started out looking at and trying to buy a Outlook in February. Everytime that I got close to buying, there always seemed to be some kind of pricing change and it was nerver in my favor. When mudflaps went from $160 installed to $190, I had enough and just walked away. I thought that Saturn was a different kind of car company, but found it to be just like most of my other car buying experiences over the years, no fun at all. Next, I turned to the Acadia. My local dealer is on the small side and didn't yet have anything in stock. We tried to dealer trade for 3, but no other dealer would trade with us, so I decided to order one in. After a 2 week wait, we found out that my Acadia would not be built. We spent another week, again trying to dealer trade. Of course, once again, we were shot down on 2 tries. One day, I stumbled across a Enclave sitting in the back of another dealer. I couldn't believe that somebody had one already. I had seen it at the Detroit auto show, but figured that it would be out of my price range. I found that the Enclave made it easier to get just the options that I wanted than the Acadia and the 4yr-50000 mile warranty, plus it being a 2008 model just made it all the better. Now, if they would just get it built.
P.S. I would like to dedicate this post to the Saturn dealer that treated me like crap and The GMC dealers that wouldn't dealer trade with us. I hope that you all still have the vehicles that I was looking at. It's amazing how things work out, but I sure would be disappointed if I was driving the Outlook or Acadia after getting a look at the Enclave. You bet I'm still a little fired up over all of this. The first thing that I'm gonna do is drive my Enclave around that Saturn dealer with my head held high, and sunroof open!
