What's my Tahoe worth?

[MACHO]

2011tahoe, I am accepting donations of Belltech kits...FYI

FWIW, I would put it on Ebay as is.
i sell a LOT on ebay....here is what I do:

run it first as an auction, with a reserve.

then run it a second time, as a "buy it now" with your price.

there's a lot of psychology that i don't feel like typing out...but it WORKS, i have ALWAY sold what I needed to, if the price was reasonable.


why get "trade" value when you can get "retail"
it costs ~$60 on each auction


also, FWIW, I did up a HUGE spreadsheet of how to figure out the "ROI" return on investmetn of going to a cheaper car for MPG (it NEVER does pay for it self)


i say keep it, drive it, don't worry about it.

i bought a Geo Metro for $800 while back, put $400 repairs into it, 36mpg & AC.
if you trade it in...you will prolly lose MORE on trade than a used Honda costs

I've bought and sold a lot of cars, especially ones with low miles, I personally would not trade it, I've always had a LOT of luck with autotrader, also craigslist.
its a new tahoe basically with a not so new price, people will jump all over it.
I'm not sure where you are located but I always go to Carmax, they offer about 3k below what you could sell it for privately, but if you were to trade it in, the offer Carmax gives you will help you be firm with the dealership on what they need to give you. Good luck.

here's a screen shot of the EXCEL math:

basically, going from 16mpg to 26mpg saves you $2500 a year:



PM me your address, and I can send you the excel file.

I wish I got those gas prices. I'm in Cali, and its pretty much $5 a gal. Best to just put your card in the machine and look the other way ?

Just bought a 2011 ltz with 13k miles for $45k at a Lexus dealership

the dealer here offered to sell me a 2013 LTZ 4x2 new for $51k....


but my 2007 has a lot of nice mods...

so i did not trade up

 

[2011Tahoe]

The most we have been offered from the dealers is $45k, seems pretty fair, it's more than we owe so we would end up ok. But the wife still hasn't decided, I have been looking at diesels and could have a good one on the line I will find out tomorrow. It's just a matter of talking the wife out of a Honda and into a diesel which for us would be a better decision since it is what we are going to be buying in 2 years anyway. We will see, I don't mind the Tahoe at all, i actually love it. but long term here is we dont want to have a suv and a diesel but for our family it just doesn't make sense to have 2 cars. We are outdoor kinda people, have a trailer and quads so 2 cars just wouldn't make sense. We will see.

If you decide to dump the Hoe, I'd take that $45K and run!! That seems like a great deal.

 

[2011Tahoe]

Yeah I feel it is a great deal also. Now that we have a good price and its getting real the wife is having trouble figuring out what she wants to do. Go figure.
