A Dealer wants to buy my 2021 Tahoe for a loaded 2022 Yukon SLT. Any advice?

[My79f]

through 2022 they were standard on the AT4.....Z71 they aren't available - not sure about 2023MY

when we bought our 21 AT4 our local dealer had both an AT4 and Z71 loaded out sitting side by side (sunroofs, air suspension, RSE, etc) think the Z71 was right at $70k and AT4 $75k

the lack of the ventilated seats on the Z71 was one of the main reasons we went with the AT4.

we now have a 22 Z71...without ventilated seats


from the 2022 specs...if there was a 2022 out there without them...guessing it was either a retrofit or maybe they constrained them for a while

I stand corrected! I'm guessing that when the Chevy dealer told me the Z71 didnt come with ventilated seats, I assumed the AT4 didnt either. Thats what I get for assuming.

You're absolutely right. Mine came standard with the ventilated seats. I was one of the fortunate ones that already had it installed straight from the factory... So no retrofitting here. Same goes with the rear passenger heated seats option. That too was already installed from the factory when I bought it off the lot.

it wasn't mentioned but guessing the Yukon is 4wd?

use this link to throw up the window stickers of both if you want (just put the VIN at the end and then you can screen grab it)

Agree with the above formula and to ignore the monthly payment....

But I have some pause with your initial comment about the payment being essentially the same...maybe you're playing off the payment going down $50-100 or more with buying the Yukon...but the payment shouldn't be close to the same even using higher interest rates if the dealer is truly giving you an even swap

you've paid on a 4 year loan for almost a year (at what one would think relatively low interest) - your next payment and you've paid down the loan close to 25%

for grins...
say the 2021 Z71 stickered at $65k
you financed $50k
interest rate 2.5% for 4 years
monthly payment almost $1100

11 payments in and your payoff is ~$39k

New Yukon maybe stickers for $70k (this is and isn't really important) - he could be selling it to you for $70k and offering you $70k for your Z71 or selling the Yukon for $75k and then offering $75k for your tahoe...but all fees in and the dealer is "saying" it's an even swap

Your new starting principal amount should be the amount you currently owe on your Tahoe if it's a true even swap...

so the loan starts over...
Finance $39k
interest now at 4.5% (you can probably find lower but thought I'd bump this up)
4 year loan again
monthly payment is now $890...over $200 less than initially


just throwing that out there as I didn't know if the dealer said he could keep your payment the same or....


As far as Z71 vs the SLT, Z71s (and AT4s) will always be in higher demand over a LT or SLT and yours is unique to the point where it could demand a premium in the already inflated market prices...SLT is sharp as well and could stand out with similar mods...but stock vs stock...Z71 will be in higher demand

Without looking up your tahoes trade in value I'd think you are getting a higher trade in value than what the book says (or the dealer is "discounting" the yukon to match the actual trade in value)

I am having difficulty with following the link/instructions to see a window sticker

I'd keep yours and trade when the next generation comes out

All dealers want to buy vehicles. I was offered more for mine that I paid for it nearly 3 years ago. The question is, what will you replace it with? They don't care.

 

[BlaineBug]

Check the financing. Is it same payment but stretched out longer? Interest rates are surely higher now than they were when you bought your 2021.

If it is truly he is giving you trade in value on your 21 = selling price of the 22 + dealer fees so the net deal after trade is $0, and all you are doing is transferring the balance owed on the 21 to the 22, then yes, you are buying 29970 miles for zero dollars. But, unless you see the total purchase price less trade = $0, you are not winning.

Why in the hell would the dealer do that when they can simply sell the newer 0 mile vehicle instead????

They don't make you an offer unless they intend to profit on it.

 

[BlaineBug]

I can't imagine why people ever trade in vehicles unless they routinely like bending over and taking it straight up with a twist without any l00b.

30k miles in less than a year, wow

I have a 2019 Tahoe, and have only 27k miles on it. And that includes three 3.5k trips between Texas and NC coast and mountains.
