Just had this conversation with my assistant. GM products are junk. She bought hers a month and a half a go and it is in the shop.

5.3L V8 or the 6.1?

Be sure to take care of the 5.3L motor. If maintained properly (especially oil changes) you'll get 300K miles out of the vehicle. If not, you'll be dying to ditch it after 75k. I know it sounds kind of obvious but those are fantastic motors that get pretty finicky as they age.

Yukon.

I had a tahoe before I traded it in for my 4runner. It was a POS too.

Not sure what slightly used means, but you can find some 2016s in the 35k list price range


Only if they have ~100k miles on them.

Take the advice given here with a grain of salt.

After 15 years in the car business, I've learned 2 things to be true:
1. Everybody pays more for their houses and less for their vehicles.
2. A "good deal" is when both parties are satisfied.

Good luck on your purchase

I think closer to like 60k. To some that is a lot, to others who drive a car to 200k, that isn't much. I wasn't advocating one purchase over the other, just providing info.

Considering the beginning price was in your ballpark, yes

Why not? There is likely additional rebates you can get by financing. Once you leave the lot, and your first payment date comes in, pay the loan off in full.....

Not only that, let your money work for you. The market is way up right now, invest your money and pay a low interest note. I guarantee you'll make more than you pay in intereset

No Carplay in the infotainment system.

You always have to check for mechanical and software advances between model years. Engine/Transmission maybe more important but I think computer/software/autonomous driving features are going to become much bigger deals when it comes to how many model years back you want to go when buying used.

probably 2 years. It is, but likely highway miles that are less stressing on a vehicle.

It may have been owned by a rental car company. There are a lot of these out there.

I would assume people that rent Tahoes which are much more expensive to rent don't rag them out like a mustang. Also, you can bet rental companies keep the servicing current.


ETA: All of the ones I have seen are sold as certified pre-owned and have a better warranty than a new Tahoe.
