need buying advice 2008 Yukon Hybrid

[jesterct]

Hello.

I am the new one.

So please sorry, if I am doing something wrong.


I need a little bit help from you guys.
My car died yesterday in a crash, unfortunately nobody was in the car.

So I need a new one.

My dealer has a 2008 Yukon Hybrid for sale, but I am a little bit suspicious. The price seems to be very good for me. So I dont know, shall I buy the car.

After reading a lot of websites tonight, I am more and more confused, of course

So I need your help and your expertise.


This is the car.

Tomorrow I will thake a look on the car, so I know nothing about the car yet.
Please give me also an advice where to take a closer look at.


Thanks a lot for your help in advance.

(sorry for my "worse" englisch, I am only an "alien")

That model isn't a hybrid. It is a regular Yukon XL.

 

[jesterct]

Thanks Zach.

Due to the pics it is. I though perhaps it could be.

Thanks for your clarification.



Would be the price ok for a XL?
I still couldnt believe it.

 

[zach2011]

For that low of a mileage, I think it is. it looks very nice.

Here is a hybrid so you could be sure next time:

Also, Hybrid's will always have the navigation system.

Seems bogus.

The description says Hybrid, but the Yukon in the pictures isn't. For a Yukon XL with 16k miles on it that price seems really low. I would bet something's wrong. Run the CARFAX and make sure that's not 116k miles. If it's 116k that price might be right.

I'd be pretty skeptical.

 

[jesterct]

There must something be wrong.

Once its mentioned AWD, later drive-type: rear-wheel. In Autotrader.com its an 2WD Hybrid.

OMG, I think I should avoid this dealer.

116k seems plausible for me.

I would check around a bit, although you probably dont have much time to get into a new car because your ride got wrecked. Hope it works out for you!

 

[zach2011]

Sounds like whoever handles their website isn't very smart. I would look at it in person and do more research on it.

When I was looking for my car I found a lot of mistakes on autotrader.com. AWD vs 2wd being one of the common ones. One dealership I called the guy had to go out on the lot and look to see which was correct.

Here's what GM shows for that VIN. Considering the last service update was at 39k miles I'd say it has more than 16,850. Something fishy about that one.
