Thought I would mention how I approached my purchase, for anyone who might be interested. Some people live to haggle, and that's a great skill to have, but I'm not much for it. And I did decide I liked the Acadia better than the Outlook. So I decided to use the car buying service (CarBargains) of a local (DC area) nonprofit called Consumers CheckBook.
I basically gave them the Trim level I wanted and my zip code, and then they did the leg work to go around to different dealers and shop quotes and then sent me a report. My local dealer was third from the top. I went in and showed them the results and they matched the best offer, which I went ahead and accepted. I ended up paying invoice, less any incentives in place at time of delivery. And, spent almost zero time with it all.
I probably could have gone back and forth and knocked it down some more had I wanted to take the time. The service cost $190 so I technically paid $190 over invoice. Again, some of you would never go this route but perhaps, for others, you might be interested.
Bottom line... I was happy with my deal.
