XLT with leather, Sirius, navigation, and pretty much everything else that's on the Limited except we have 17" wheels instead of 18" or 20". Extended 6-year/100K bumper to bumper warranty.

Sticker: $37285
Invoice: $35300
Negotiated price: $36000 (We were able to haggle a bit because most people want black interior with the silver exterior. We prefer the lighter color.)
Rebates: $2500
Trade: $7500 ('07 Yukon with 155K miles)
Price after rebates and trade: $26000
After TTL: $29640 out the door

I know that many will say they could get a better deal, and they're probably right. I didn't steal it, but I feel like I got a fair deal.

Check engine light on, oil gauge malfunctioning, and the backseat looks like rainbow threw up. They'll clean it up and sell it for $10K or a little more.

Curious as to why. We test drove it in the rain and it handles great. Very smooth ride and tight handling.

Sound good to me. Brand new? I have one and love it. Only complaint is the belt line it too high. I know it's a safety feature, but it makes it difficult in drive thru's and ATMs.

Yep. I swore I would never buy brand new again, but the rebates they had were enticing for the '14.

No power at all very sluggish taking off. That is because it is a 6sp trans. Can't pull anything with it because it is fwd. gas mileage isn't as good as they say you will get. For what I we paid for our Acadia we could have bought a Tahoe or Yukon and gotten the same gas mileage and better pickup. And I could pull something with it.

You obviously didn't consult with will covers advice before heading to the lot.

Decent deal.

You got rid of one that was looking to lay down.
Used prices are down to earth so nobody is giving buttloads of money on trades like they were last year.

FWIW, the Explorer is the class of the field in that segment.

Not a good trade. Your trade is worth way more than that.

Damned good deal.

Drove one with same package as a rental for T'giving. Great ride, good mileage, electronics very intuitive and nice finishes.

Just curious what you think you'd get for a 07 Yukon with 155k and some other minor problems?

what was the trim level of the Yukon?

this is base level, no options added. A CEL isn't a big deal 80% of time its a bad Oxygen sensor.
