Find GMC Dealers in Memphis, Tennessee

We just bought last week in Memphis, TN: 2008 Acadia FWD SLT-1 White Diamond Tricoat Ebony leather (captain chairs) Dual skyscape sunroof Power liftgate Convenience pkg. (ultrasonic parking, remote start) Cargo pkg. Trailer pkg. Total: $35,909.03 with the Supplier's Discount and $1,500 in rebates ($500 rebate and $1k Conquest). I'm not sure that I got the best deal but I researched it alot and this is the lowest I could get. They are not moving alot on the prices, at least down here in the South! Salesman insisted it was below invoice but I don't buy it--he even went as far to say that Supplier's Discount was below invoice...which is a lie). They have to make $$$ too, as long as they don't screw you in the process. I feel like it was pretty fair deal.

My old credit union in Memphis is showing 6.24% on new vehicles up to 66 months. re: the Holdback you mentioned from "fightingchance.com" Edmunds has a primer on that issue which includes most manufacturer's holdback amounts. http://www.edmunds.com/advice/incentives/holdback/index.html IF vehicles come on the lot and then go right back out as sales, then the dealer makes most of the holdback as profit. One discussion I've seen is that after about 90 days on the lot the dealer's interest on the inventory has offset most of the holdback amount. Might be a little longer than that depending on the interest rate the dealer is paying on inventory. So, there might appear to be a gross profit in the holdback, but the net profit after considering the holdback could be negative. A lot of consumer sites warn against using the 'holdback' issue as a barganing chip unless the dealer is giving the false song and dance about making no money on the deal. Also the sales person that might get a commission from the sale does not usually get any of the holdback $$$ so he/she is probably not going to be swayed by that argument. With holdback, volume incentives, dealer cash, dealer overhead, etc. it would be almost impossible to guess the real bottom line cost to the dealer of any vehicle...if fact they may not know until later when all their inventive/volume programs finish up. Anyway it is all speculation...figure a price that you want to pay and make an offer. If accepted, sign the paperwork, if not, either walk to another dealer or make another offer. Be sure to find out as much as possible about current incentives before going... rebates, cash to dealer support, loyalty or conquest incentives. If you get $500 under invoice and then find there were $2000 total rebates, then you may have actually left as much as $1500 in the dealer's pocket.

Hum, low inventory? Large GM, Pontiac, Buick, Hummer dealer here in Memphis shows 37 Acadias and 11 Enclaves on their inventory page. Might not have all of them still, but they really have them lined up out front. I think the sticker may go up a little, but discount and incentives will probably go down. Look at the Yukon/Tahoe going from $6-7K under sticker. Make them an out the door offer, reasonable offer and see if they bite. They want you to take their offer, not make one of your own.

Where are you seeing the $1000 Conquest cash? I've looked and on the Acadia all that show up is 4.9% apr...no Cash. The Saturn Outlook shows 1.9% OR $1000 cash incentive available. I checked for Memphis area and another state out west. I wonder if this a regional incentive not available in all areas? BTW, the Supplier Pricing I checked on the Outlook did show the $1000 cash allowance in the pricing.

Just about all dealerships have links to inventory in the area. A swap across town might not cost them much, but bringing in something from a couple hundred miles might cost someone a couple hundred (who pays that?). I just spent 5 minutes on GM Buypower.com and looked at inventory at 5 GM dealers in Memphis. If I put in a couple of other zip codes, I could check the dealerships between Nashville, Little Rock, Jackson Mississippi and even St Louis...plus smaller dealerships in the area. Contact info is available there and if I found one I wanted, I could give them a call and start trying to work up a deal. It sounds as if you really don't have a 'relationship' with a dealership or this website...whatever you feel confortable with. I have tried working with dealers in the past on locating one that was not in stock in Memphis, but never really had any luck or felt comfortable with the process.
