Has 30k miles, for approximately 42,000, fully loaded.

My wife is smitten with the features I am worried about everything else. Is there well known repair issues with this vehicle, are there common nags and disappointments that you owners have discovered that I will discover later )).

Just trying to do my due diligence before buying this vehicle, never owned a GMC before and it makes me nervous. It got a 68 in consumer reports which is okay and well I certainly can find posts "out there" about problems that is true with any car but I can't tell if the problems have any certain frequency or pattern.

Appreciate your time!

You'll love it, John!

I can go ahead and tell you, the most expensive thing you'll have to "fix" is your mod bug. ;)

I've only had my Denali for a couple of moths thus far, but I am doubtful that you would have any regrets if you buy one. With just one press of the accelerator with that 6.2 under the hood and you will have a condition that I like to call "permasmile". Go for it man!

My boss has a '10 denali xl. He is nearing 65000 on it and has not had a single issue with it. They are awesome rides!

Hi John and welcome aboard.

I bought a 10 Denali just two weeks ago and could not be happier ... it's a huge step up in finish from my Tahoe Hybrid, and quite a considerable step down in mpg. That aside the truck is a beast. The only element I begrudge it, which is apparently typical of all these trucks, is the somewhat clumsy performance of the 6 speed transmission, but I'm now getting used to it and barely notice it anymore. In short, if fuel consumption is not a primary concern, I can recommend this vehicle without hesitation.

On a quick side note, I got mine with 18k miles and with the white diamond tricoat paint, power assist steps, blind zone alert, and 2nd row center console (about $2.5k in extra options) for $44k + $500 to ship from Dallas to DC ... so you might be able to squeeze a little more out of the seller.

Cheers!

Thank you gentlemen, I will continue to watch this thread for other words of wisdom if anyone else has more to say. Soulsea thanks for your pricing history I will see if I can squeeze a bit more out of them but if not I am happy with the price so far it's consistent with all my research.

Well we used to have pie ... but we'll get more if you want some. :)
