Pulled the trigger on a local 2007 Denali yesterday. 1-owner, no accidents, 144K miles. Husband was a mechanic, and manic about this car. He put on 22" Verde rims w/Michelins, K&N cold air intake, Magnaflow ****, dark tint all around, etc. He died a few years ago, and the wife rarely drove it. ALL fluids look like they were changed yesterday. 40 oil psi on warm engine. Almost no wear on the interior, none of the rips/tears/wrinkles usually seen. It is not without flaws...mirrors do not fold in, neither front seat raises or lowers, button for lumbar does not work. I will likely find a few more of the common things. Headlights/tails were a hazy mess, which I took care of with a buffer and rubbing compound...maybe 30 seconds each. THRILLED TO HAVE IT! And, glad to have this site as a source.

looks clean. welcome to the site.

just incase you missed it, this is the hybrid specific sub forum. it doesn't get much traffic. mods can move it for you if you want. you'll get a ton more views on the main forum. I don't know how it happens, but I've posted in the wrong threads more on this forum than any other forum I've been on lol.

Just WoW! Almost bought an 07 YXL that color in ‘14 nowhere as clean as that. Baby the clear coat on the hood and roof. It’s really susceptible to peeling.

If it’s not peeling now, I’d invest in applying a clear bra / clear wrap to keep it perfect for another 7-10 years.

Actually the hood and roof were repainted a year ago. Want to protect it, but can't decide best way to go.
