This is my wife's 2008 Acadia with less than 9000 miles. This is the second time I've had it towed to the dealer, about 40 miles away. I did post a notice with the BBB , just as a backup.

No Leases on GMC Acadias?

Written by: vmoore on Aug 25, 2008 06:47 PM

My dealer just informed me that GMC is no longer offering leases on the 08 Acadias. My research shows that this applies to all GMC dealers and not just my local guy. Car_Man, if I opt to lease through a bank, what should I expect the residual value and money factors to be for a 2008 SLT1 AWD? Thanks for the help. Read More...

I HATE this car!!!

Written by: heyyou1 on Aug 15, 2008 09:27 AM

I live 11 miles from the office and somehow have driven 36,000 miles in the first 13 months. Has ANYONE had problems with their odometer? After driving the car for a while, I thought the pickup was poor but I was coming from an V-8. So, I didn't think much of it. Now, I was caught in a bad storm and water started pouring in at the foot board on the passenger side....then, ... Read More...

My 2008 SLT has been in for roof leaks for the 5th time. The first four times they fixed the drain tubes and changed out the head liner. This week they had a regional engineer come out and said it needed a sunroof module. They will have it for at least a week, last time it was 21 days because of ordering the head liner. If it's not fixed this time I want a buy back. What did ... Read More...

Re: Acadia's April 08' lease rate & residual [ralora]

Written by: Car_man on May 08, 2008 03:13 AM

Hi ralora. I am absolutely positive that GMAC's base lease rate on the 2008 GMC Acadia is currently 6.25%. This is one of GM's most popular vehicles, so it is not surprising that dealers are trying to mark up its lease rate. If you comparison shop with a few dealers, you should be able to find one that is willing to let you use this truck's base lease rate to calculate ... Read More...
