To make a purchase attractive on these vehicles,let’s say you are purchasing a LTZ-V AWD Acadia(top of the line) @ $66,000( or thereabouts) Depreciation is about 66% on these,when you come to “flip” the vehicle after say,three years,it is worth around 21k mark,to stop losing this much money you need @ least a discount of 20k,to just “break even”.Its competitors(Kluger,CX9,Hyundai Santa Fe etc...) depreciate @ around 44%,so in three years you are better off with the comp.It is a gamble buying one of these.If you DO NOT care about depreciation & intend keeping the vehicle for say up to ten years,it is not to bad financially.But then,warranty,service support etc...is an unknown @ this stage.Getting this much discount(20k) is a really big ask from a dealer.There is a dealer in Victoria(Ferntree Gully Holden) have two.NO free servicing,no 7 year warranty.Any “further discounts” by “appointment only”.Then they can spin you their “BS”!
