Help Deciding on Next Ride ...Update: Bought!

[THE YETI]

i remember that post Dylan.. there is absolutely no way that thing can lift up with a kid on there like that. I have a 3yr old and that thing wont budge...lol....

Serge, Jen and I were talking about it and I think there are secondary controls in the console too... we couldnt remember.

Okelydokely, thanks guys.

I'm trying to hook up with a friend of a friend to take me to a couple of 'dealer only' auctions in a couple of weeks and see what's up on that front. From what I know one can get pretty amazing deals there but might have to go a few times before the vehicle one wants pops up.

I vote you get an 87 K5

Yes serge I think they are the AC seats. They are awesome I love having them. They didn't start putting it in the Denali until 2009 also. My friends got an 08 and he doesn't have it :/

I'll sell you my 09 Denali... a little less than 17k miles (I believe, haven't been in it in 3 weeks). Black on black, AWD. Clean title, no accidents, dealer serviced, got it CPO with 5k on it in May '10.

AC/heated seats, heated steering wheel, Nav, moonroof, MBRP exhaust on it right now (but still have stock exhaust), BB tune/Autocal included, side blind zone alert, DVD, backup cam, power lift gate, rear seat heaters, power folding rear seats, power front seats... basically everything except for the power running boards and 2 way remote. I'm sure much more I don't remember, just ask.

Depending on where you are/when you need it, I could drive/deliver it for a charge.

See this is what I saw the other day and mean about the difference in finish between the power assist steps and the rest of the side chrome:

It might indeed be because it angles down and reflecting the grey ground, but I'm also wondering if it isn't also stainless steel as opposed to chrome, hence the variation.

I must admit it's making my ocd twitch a little.

I'd black that put anyways...

 

[THE YETI]

Thought I told ya it was SS, not chrome?

 

[soulsea]

I never read what you write.

I guess I missed it ... I wonder why it isn't chrome?
Maybe to protect it from the road ... but the regular denali boards have chrome trim at the edges.

I'm thinking GM cheaped out here.

 

[THE YETI]

Chances are its a third party vendor. The chrome in the Denali boards faces outward. The trim on the power boards faces down. I'm sure with the front wheels shooting rocks and whatnot toward the bottom of that power board, stainless was the way to go. The chrome would just chip.

I don't think GM cheaped out.. There is a just reason for it.
