Went test drive one last night and I will say it's a fantastic truck fully loaded 4x4 w/6.2 l engine. The thing has Kicker speakers embedded in the tailgate!!! With dealer discounts and my employer discount they asking approx. $64k. He told me not much wiggle room, but don't believe it. This will be my 1st GM truck. Moving on from Tundra.

Does this asking price sound reasonable? With TTL it'll be close to 69K. I'll probably keep it at least 15 years.

As a financial expert not a a good investment. I'm at the stage of my life where I don't give a shite about...."hey, look at me in my badass truck, but I think I deserve it and wife thinks it's too much. My current Tundra is a 2006.

GM truck experts....what you think?

TIA.

Well, it isn't an investment.

ETA

If you have the disposable income, then do what you want. You can spend half and get a truck that meets your needs.

Max out your warranties if you’re gonna drop that kinda coin

ETA: and as a financial expert, if you don’t have a way already set up to write off a house-priced truck, you can’t manage my money.

Sounds nice. I love my bought new GMC Sierra thru Costco’s auto program and saved a ton of money.

Costco is now offering a $1000 gift card if you buy through their program but it may not include the Denali’s.

Vehicles are expenses of modern life.

I drive a GMC Sierra All terrain which is very close to the Denali. I’m on my 2nd one and drove the first to 240k with minimal issues. Current one is at 100k

I love these trucks! The 6.2L is not terrible on gas in the newer models but also gives the punch I desire when I hit the pedal. Imo that’s a pretty good price for a 21 Denali but I’d beat him down another 1500-2000. If he did say not much wiggle room you haven’t negotiated enough. Of course, depending on trade in and down payment your note won’t change much.

I’m thinking hard about buying a new bronco though just for a change but if I don’t love it, I’ll be back in a GMC in no time.

What financing terms are you considering?

You will regret giving up your Tundra. Don't get fooled by the cheaply finished interior.

$64,000 for a truck. That’s fricking absurd.

I think that's what he meant; Don't let the Tundra's cheap interior fool you into believing it isn't as good as a Denali.

I could be wrong though.

Growing up trucks were basic vehicles. Now they come in the highest premium trim packages that auto makers offer. Luxury leather and infotainment comes with a lofty price tag.

They are lovely trucks, don't be afraid to take the plunge. I've been looking into a Sierra 1500 AT4 with the baby Duramax. I would love a Denali but $65k is a little rich for me.

Why would he regret getting a nicer vehicle? Domestic trucks on the whole are very reliable, so besides losing out on features and worse gas mileage, what do you gain by going with Toyota?
