Those look like nice vehicles. Hope she enjoys it!

[DirtyMax]

Sharp! If it would have towed my boat, I was going to strongly consider one.

[jbiscuit]

so wait, you paid over sticker for it??

[Voodoo Chick]

Hope she enjoys it very much!

Sweet ride, my cousin has a silver one. I'm diggin' the black.

You gotta remove the Holz sticker and license plate outliner. :thumbsup

Uncle Sam needs his love too.

I think they were probably about $29K + TTL in my quick math...

Sweet ride...can't get over how large that "mini"ute actually is! Interested to see the real world mileage you guys get.

Good kill on the DD!

looks nice.. but why not wait a bit and pay less than sticker?? i just got my 2010 silverado for close to 11k UNDER sticker..and it was new..

Looks pretty nice for a 1LT, nice ride!

[moels]

Very nice ride!

Out the door, I ment after tax, title, tags and fees.
They ain't budging much on the prices of Equinox's. They can hardly stock them. We were particular about the color and trim we wanted. Didn't want leather or sunroof or dvd navigation. Alot of stuff on the lot was either fully loaded or nothing at all. Definitely did not want the 2.4L 4 cylinder. It's a slow pig

Crawlin helped me verify the price against employee pricing and it was within couple hundred bucks, so you are not going to do too much better than that. The dealer discount was just under $1000 off MSRP.

Taxes are $1421 (no trade in).


I just got done running some errands and got to test the sound system with some Pendulum. I'm very pleased with the stereo http://smileys.on-my-web.com/repository/Music/dj-086.gif

Not black... Black Granite Metallic :D WAY BETTER I didnt do the greatest job capturing the paints true color. Difficult in the light I had.


Yeah I'll be working on that very soon. Unless they want to cut me a check for being their billboard.

Ohh some other tid bits.

6 speed auto
18" Michelin Latitude Tour Tires. Very quiet in the interior. Way better than previous GM cars I've owned/driven.
Warranty is 3yr/36k bumper to bumper and 5yr/100k drivetrain
5yrs of free roadside assistance.
XM radio for 6 months
Onstar for 6 months
USB port (reads usb stick, iPod, etc and displays in console)

Sticker says 16 city / 22 hwy. Not impressive, but it makes 264hp and is AWD.

Definitely like the Equinox better than its new GMC twin the Terrain. That is one ugly ass SUV imo..

Looks like a nice truck. I hope she enjoys it.

exactly. i got my mom into one, she is in love with the thing. barely any price drops. it's almost the exact same as you got, color, options. oddly, i got her into the 4 cylinder, i drive it on occasion, it's most certainly not a powerhouse, but in sport mode it runs just as strong as my blazer ever did. i'm very happy with the 4cyl. plus, in eco mode, we pulled off 29mpg on the highway last trip we took. :) it appears the only difference in yours and hers is the 4cyl. great vehicle though either way

Right about 20-23 avg. My wife and I have a 2010 and that's what we get w/ a lot of Hwy. driving.

[nismodave]
