What is low miles for a 2006 Yukon Denali?

[mstaake415]

Agreed. Transmissions are the week point. Much easier and cheaper to fix a trans then it is to do body work. How much are they asking? 156,000 is pretty good for an 06.

You're right... as a SF Bay Area person I always forget about rust. Not a speck of rust on my 01 Burb with 290K. Original engine. Probably original trans. Runs and shifts like new except for a misfire if I push it above 4500RPM for a long time. Don't need to do that often so basically it's no issue In other words, I'd recommend paying more attention to rust than the trans, but pay attention to the trans too

Found another one in Minnesota. Denali comes from AZ. He bought it off an older couple 2 years ago. No rust. Comes with winter tires and rims as well as summer tires and rims. He also wants 9000 for the vehicle. 139,000 miles. Going to do a VIN check on it.

That second one looks to be in good shape! Not too shabby of a deal with winter and summer times and wheels if it checks out mechanically!

So the second one, the black one. I ran a Vin check and it was in a minor accident. He said the insurance company totaled out the vehicle and he did the repairs. This is a pic. Stated no frame damage. Just bumper and hood. VIN check shows no salvage or junked vehicle and he said the title is clean . Here is a pic. You can't even tell there was damage

Do I use that as a negotiations point or move on?

That’s not bad for a 2006. My 2004 just turned 108K a couple of months ago. I bought mine 5 years ago when it only had 46K on her. They are out there, just have to be patient. I think I spent close to 6 months looking for the right one. It didn’t look this clean when I bought it, but it was well maintained with no rust, dents, or accidents.

Why would the insurance total out a truck for that amount of damage?! I can’t imagine a hood and front end would cost more than the value of the truck? That seems odd to me. Like @Danny3737 said the low mileage clean trucks are out there. I looked for mine for a few months before purchasing mine as well.

I'd at least look. Check for wrench marks under there or clamp marks on the frame.

I can tell in the second pic something isn't right. Look at the top of the bumper cap. It's much farther out on the driver side.

They go by a certain percentage of damage compared to the value of the vehicle itself.

I want one so bad but good things come to those that wait. Just keep me focused ladies and gents.
