Well we finally took delivery of our 21 Denali!
everything went really smoothly. Got supplier pricing plus Costco discount and a great interest rate. The entire deal was smooth thank goodness.
my first impressions of the Yukon, wow! Just amazing fit and finish on the inside. I really love it. Tons of space!
Unfortunately there is an issue though with the paint. I thought for a second should I be buying this thing given how big these issues are, but I’m hopefully they can take care of them. On the rear right of the vehicle it looks like there are scratches on the very top. Most of them look like they can be buffed out pretty easily. The same thing with the right rear. My biggest concern though is on the hood. It has a few marks on it that I can only describe as being burn marks. It looks like someone left a buffer running on the hood and burned the paint. I’m really worried about that one. The dealer told me they’ll take care of it but I’m not sure how they would do that without reshooting the entire hood on a vehicle with four miles. I’m hopefully it was just the light I saw it in but the dealer saw it too and took photos of it as well.
Also has anyone noticed an extreme burning smell? I’ve had a lot of new cars but I’ve never smelt one like this.
I’ll post pictures tomorrow.
Update:
Working on the picture upload. It’s really too bad about the scratches on the top. They’re worse than I saw last night, but they seem to go away when I lick my finger and rub at them for a second. So I’m confident they’ll come out. The hood mark is really hard to see in the daylight, which is good, but you can kind of see it at certain angles. I provided pictures. We went from four miles to 50 and the smell has gone away a bit. It’s still there but not as bad. Does anyone know what normal transmission operating temp is? On my Duramax with the Allison it was ambient plus 70-90.
