looking to purchase a 2008 denali xl

[michaelinman]

just wondering if this is a good buy with 99,000 mile for 25,000 ...are these good for another 100,000 miles or am I wasting my money?


thanks for your input

We just bought an 07 Denali with 120,000 miles for $21,000, so I think it looks like you are in the ball park.

That isn't a bad deal. I bought a 76k 09 Denali for 29,900 recently and thought it was a fair deal.

With all the problems my 08 Denali XL has... I can't wait to get rid of it, and it only has 87k. They started all the way back since 36k right after warranty ran out. This 2007-2014 of GMC products is utter crap. From the Body Side Moldings falling off because of cheap tape, to the dash board cracks, to the HVAC control buttons just wearing away (and no replacement buttons only whole assembly!) And the list can go on. I am not happy with this vehicle what so ever. Sadly of all the full size SUVs left on the market these are the only ones who fit the size requirements. The 2015 looks promising, but of course those already had issues before they left the manufacturing plants, so probably more of the same.

If only some Import would make a solid full sized SUV to battle the Suburban/Yukon XL lineup I'd be on it like hotcakes, because this American standard is crap. The closest thing I see would be the Sequoia, but it just pales in comparison of the XLs...

Sigh maybe it just wasn't meant to be.

Insane how these are holding their value. Bought my 2007 LTZ in 2012, with 79k on it for $20k. I can probably still get that out of it now with almost 140k on the clock.

I sold my 2008 denali xl a few months ago, and it had 90,000 miles and had no real problems to speak of, and ran very smooth when i sold it.. The CEL light would come on once in a while, but other than that, it was great..

My friend has a 09 chevy sub ltz, with over 150k, and he cant even get $12k for it. The high miles kills the values on these suvs.(at least in ny). I need to move to your area, the ppl there must have money to burn!

Just bought an 07 Denali with 102000 KM or whats that 60000 miles for 20 last month. Like new and runs and drives like new. i think its luck of the draw for some. i had the same experience as irish did with my Expedition. The ride and quality is night and day couldn't be happier with the Yukon Denali!! Really its like I bought a 80000 SUV for 20 grand. What's to complain about. I expect things to go wrong but im sure they will be easier to work on than the Expo was thats for sure.
It doesnt matter what Make import or domestic your going to hear a horror story about every single one on the net. The odds are in your favor though for a good one. More pros than cons is what I've heard about these.
