Late model 2011 Tahoe LTZ..

So I'm vehicle shopping and we rolled up to All Star Chevrolet in BR and they have a 2011 Tahoe LTZ with 19K miles for $48K.
Does the Z add that much?
Ross Downing in Hammond has a 2012 Tahoe LT for ~$37K with 11K miles on it. There are a few differences: No sunroof, navigation or power lift gate, but everything else is identical: trim, rims, dvd entertaiment, etc.
I'll probably go with the newer 2012, since a sunroof isn't really needed and all of our phones have navigation.
But really? Older, more miles, but $11K more?

Well let's start here:
LTZ can add things you can't see too: it could have the 6.2L engine. Also: back up camera, power flip and fold 2nd row, retractable running boards, etc. Nav is a big selling point.
I wouldn't buy either one, personally. The new body style comes out next year as a model year 2014 and your resale value is going to plummet. I just bought a 2007 Yukon with 60K miles for half of what that 2011 is going for. If you're looking for something with warranty remaining, don't let that factor too heavily - these things don't break much, except for upper ball joints and brake pads. Maybe split the difference and get an '09 with some more miles on it and save another $10K.
Finally: Don't roll up on dealerships and just look at window prices. Some dealerships are insane. Orr Acura in Shreveport had an '08 z71 Tahoe listed for $36K - KBB dealer price on it was $27K (trade in was around $24k). Go to cars.com and search exactly what you want within a comfortable radius of your house. I found mine 150 miles away. There are a million Tahoes/Yukons for sale, there's no need to get ripped off.
2011 LTZ: $42K
Another 2011 LTZ: $42k

I feel like this would be a good place to link WillCover's car buying advice thread....
Anyone know where we can find it? (Had a lot of good advice on how to shop around, emailing dealers, etc.)
TIA
(Maybe it wasn't WillCover, but I thought it was....)

Sorry but close to $50k for a used SUV is absolutely absurd.

You guys are crazy spending that much money on a used Tahoe. I'd recommend looking at some other options.
My 2012 F150 FX2 I just bought has every option except the sunroof and nav (heated and cooled leather, bluetooth, power seats), and I paid 29 for it brand new. The prices Chevy wants for Tahoes is absolutely insane.
