They definitely held up better than any Expedition I drove (although I'll admit that was a much smaller sample size)
This is your issue. You're making very broad claims off a super limited sample size.

I can get a Maserati Ghibli for that price.
Who needs an 85k$ pickup truck?

$58k seems about right.

Or I'm making admissions when I know my sample size is small, but have had personal experience with vehicles (known MANY people with chevy Tahoe's), and included my recent experience driving over 10 vehicles from a particular era of the vehicle.

That price is off by about 20 grand

Ferrari maintenance cost, schedule and that weak transmission... No.

Ok, you're right. The old ones were better in every way than the new ones. Do you feel better now?
ETA: And that price is clearly incorrect. You can't even build one on GMC's website near that much.

Are you saying old tahoes are better than new tahoes?

Unless you own a business and need a tax shelter, I just can't fathom spending that on a stock truck, especially when you can get a really nice used heavy duty for under 30k.

Don't get pissy. You were the one saying the new one's were better in every way. Don't make blanket statements and then get your panties in a wad when someone doesn't agree.
All I'm saying is it isn't like they've made massive improvements to quality to charge the substantially higher prices. They are charging them, because they know people will finance anything. If anything, the are pushing the limits to cheapen the design to make more profit. Cheaper doesn't always mean less quality, but often times crappier parts are used to save a dime.

They are. Your anecdote doesn't change that.

You're using one bad 2012 as your whole argument. It's asinine.

Yea, that 6.4 was a great engine. Must be why Ford scrapped it after 3 years. SO you're example of really nice is a tacky lifted ticking time bomb with 100k miles on it. 
Posted on 6/23/15 at 10:35 am to AUbagman
Good luck with that, truck has the second worst diesel engine every made.....that's why those years are so cheap
Posted on 6/23/15 at 10:35 am to LNCHBOX
Hey man, it's right under 100k.
Even then, you could replace the engine 3 times before you reach that price point.

I'll wait for Hammertime to get here and share his story about that turd of an engine.

It's not like I had this issue and think I'm the only one. I've spoken with several people who had the dash crack. The service guy told me the fan motors go out all the time. Yes, I am only going by the feel and things I hear from other people. I'm not Car & Driver Magazine putting hundreds of cars through the ringer. But the overall fit and finish of the vehicles that I've owned and have been in absolutely and totally is different than your assertation that the newer models are "built better".

What's funny is you don't even have a new model. Have you even been in a 2015?
