Possible new Denali/tahoe

[DonnyJones]

My wife and I currently drive an 08 Acura TL. We have outgrown this and I have always liked the Tahoes/Yukons. We dont want a huge car payment, or to have payments for a substantial amount of time. We currently pay around $375 a month.

My wife isn't exactly the most comfortable with the Yukon Xl's or suburbans, but we are open to all ideas/recommendations. Also open to all years.

I'm looking for ideas of things to look for when test driving or inspecting? Any tips, pointers? I've read the threads on here and received some decent information, just looking to make a wise decision.

We found 2 denali's that we are looking at now. Also some tahoes. Trying to keep our options open.

04 Denali

06 Denali

Thoughts? Price too high?

The only downside to this is we owe about 2.5k more on car then what it's worth as we first started out with a very high interest rate on this loan.

Looking for all thoughts, recommendations, ideas.

Look at the top of this section, it has a what to look for thread. We have a 04 yukon xl and a 05 TL. I will definitely admit those TLs have a tiny back seat lol. We don't even bother putting the car seats in it.

Good luck with your purchase!

The 06 is high, I wouldn't pay 15k unless it had like 60-80k miles... at 100k+ I wouldn't spend more than 10k on any of them

Thinking of possibly pulling the trigger on the Denali for 15k, unless I should wait and find a better deal? Most of the ones I have found are sold already.

Any tips to find good deals on these vehicles? Either overpriced, or high miles it seems.

I would probably go 12k max on that 06.

but it also depends on your area...

I just happened to stumble upon this. Looks like it has the rims everyone likes as well.

A couple grand cheaper, looks very clean as well.

I tried posting this earlier, but for some reason it never updated.

These are the 2 options I'm currently pursuing......

Wife wants to look further into getting that 06 denali for 14995. I was quoted a price out the door of $15000, which includes us trading in our current car, with 3k down. We are currently at neg equity and that would balance us out.

If approved payments are around 270 a month. I was told by dealer it Blue Books for 17,800 but I couldn't get KBB to have that number show up.

Im trying to hold off and see if something better pops up, for less money.

If your comfortable with it, then go for it. As long as your happy with the deal you get. How far under are you on your current car?

Your saying after trade in, and 3k down that gets you to 15k? Dear god no lol
