Would you buy a new old stock 2016 Denali XL?

Go to NADA.com and look up the value for your area code. Also, look under the dash for signs of water or sand. Lots of Hurricane Harvey cars out there.

Thanks for NADA tip. I used KBB and other for sale listings to value my trade but Nada is way higher than both. Not sure why.

Been following these trucks for a while so I know they have been at the dealer forever. Plus I checked the carfax and shows they have had possession since summer 2016.

I'd be all over that. Get some 22" replicas from on here and you're golden. Sounds like you fell into some ****!!

They had another with 22s but I hesitated and someone bought it from under me for the same price. Dealer even tried to hide the keys for me. Oh well I think the 22s made the ride slightly more stiff.

Guess I'm in the minority. Deducting 15%/year = $48.5k. I'm never paying dealer's offered price.

Guess it depends on if you look at it as 2 or 3 years old. The build date was 7/16 so it’s not quite yet 2.

My thought process was I would never pay ~70k (including discounts) for a new model year Denali and this would be a good opportunity to grab a new one at Used pricing. Closest I got to buying one was a leftover 2016 slt in 2017 for 56k.

Unfortunately when they dropped the price all theee were sold in 1 day. With that kind of demand wasn’t much room.

I'm with you...laura had a few 18 SLT XL for $57k last month. 2018 Denali XL for $62,900 (MSRP 76,500), which I missed out on. For me it would have to be around $50k or less, otherwise, I'd rather spend a little more and have 2yr newer model especially given the issues these trucks tend to commonly have. Not to mention the 10spd for 2018.

Not saying it's not a good deal because it is but owning a 15 now and knowing what I do, I'd prefer to go with 4th year model run.

PhdHusky - I recently took my '13 Vette to CarMax and had it appraised. They use Kelly Blue Book. Then took it to a credit union that uses NADA and asked them to look it up. The NADA was $6000 more than KBB. I told CarMax to look up the definition of "Stealing". If people don't know, they get ripped off. I guess that is why CarMax stays in business. Do some checking before you jump...

Other than the common issues most people face (buffering, vibrations) anything else that you have learned from your 15?

Spending a little more for a newer one would be nice but it would be 5-10k more which is a lot.

I have been aggressively looking at the value of my trade as I'm supposed to close on the truck today. I live in a state that allows for tax credit on the trade in and also there is luxury tax so I had them take money from my trade to make the selling price below luxury tax break. All in all those two things alone are worth another 4k and it would be really hard to get that much more for my trade.

Their argument to me during negotiations was that KBB doesn't buy cars and they go by Manheim, NADA, etc...wasn't good logic.
