Welcome back to Dealer Find, an ongoing GM Authority series where we scour the listings for hidden gems left on the dealer lot. Our latest Dealer Find comes to us from Mauer Buick GMC in Inver Grove Heights, Minnesota, where a slick 2017 GMC Acadia crossover is awaiting a new home.
The GMC Acadia nameplate was introduced for the 2007 model year, while the 2017 model year is the first model year of the second generation. Slotting into the midsize crossover segment, the 2017 GMC Acadia is smaller than the full-size first-generation models. The smaller size is paired with an improved architecture and improved core technologies, resulting in a lighter, more efficient, and more maneuverable vehicle.
This particular GMC Acadia is the AWD SLE-2 trim level, and comes equipped with the naturally aspirated 3.6L LGX V6 gasoline engine. Output is rated at 310 horsepower and 271 pound-feet of torque, all of which is routed through the Hydra-Matic 6T70 six-speed automatic transmission.
This example is also equipped with the All Terrain package, which adds additional off-roading flavor to the midsize crossover thanks to a selection of aesthetic upgrades, both inside and out. The package also tosses in the advanced Active Twin Clutch AWD system, which is designed to optimize traction in a variety of conditions, be it rain, snow, or ice.
The exterior is draped in Ebony Twilight Metallic paint, while the interior is finished in Jet Black premium cloth upholstery. There’s also a variety of safety features onboard, including Side Blind Zone Alert with Lane Change Alert, plus Rear Cross Traffic Alert and Rear Park Assist.
Inside, the cabin is adorned with a seven-inch diagonal color touchscreen with Intellilink, as well as support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
The whole shebang is listed at $41,295.

$41k?
Not a good price at all.
We paid that for a loaded Denali back in 2017 with $13k off sticker and got the floor l8ners and mud flaps tossed in.
They need to drop the price just for depreciation alone.
They have 10 new 2017 GMC models at horrible prices.
Rough price. Prob why it hasn’t sold yet. Just saying
Agreed… no way they will unload those at those prices unless there is an all of a sudden shortage of Acadias around the country. They will come with new vehicle warranties and all, but still… I guess the dealer will figure it out eventually, or not…
this “dealer find” series reminds me of those aspca commercials with the abused dogs and cats.
the only thing missing is sarah mclachlan singing angel.
don’t you want to help these neglected and unwanted cars find a new home?
Hey Jonathan Lopez, I”m finding these articles to be quite interesting. Do you have any idea if these cars from you articles end up getting sold after your article comes out? I’d be interested in follow up articles to these to see if this would help them sell. I especially liked the black Regal GS one. If I didn’t already have a newer car, I’d fly to Tenn. to buy that one!
I e-mailed the dealership because I was interested in this Acadia. Unfortunately, they said they’d sell it for what they own it for: $35,069.73. That’s a joke. Especially considering new 2019’s, same trim level, are going for low $33k without any haggling. No wonder they have ten 2017 model year vehicles still on their lot. Hopefully they close their doors soon because they are a sad excuse for a dealership.
I bet they have at least a dozen 2018 Buick Envisions sitting around.
Dealer is apparently not interested in selling it.
BTW – that body style looks better than the post-refresh Acadia.
