Hi guys,
First post here since I do not own a SRX yet.
I have a 2008 SRX V6 on order. According to the dealer, it will be built on July 16th and it should be delivered up north here in Canada about 3 - 4 weeks later.
I'm really looking forward to let go my Chevy Equinox and trade it for the SRX!
As far as the price is concerned, I have no details yet. However, since the car will be leased, I expect my monthly payments to be close to a late 2007 model since the price will likely go up, but the residual value usually follows at the beginning of the model-year.
I never heard of a "group buy" for cars, but there are association "rebates" out there. An example: I work for Bell Canada. As an employee, I'm entitled to different rebates or incentives depending with which manufacturer I deal. With Ford, we get cost + 4% or something like that. With GM, we have access to a "reduced" price or something like that. I didn,t use these programs but I would qualify them as "group buys".
Let us know if you decide to take the plunge!
