Time to replace the Envoy

[A//// Guy]

It is true the dodge wont hold as well, but the jeeps hold, so thats a plus. Just have to keep the dodge for 10 years lol.

I agree the Dodge will probably depreciate quicker. But on that same note nothing is going to be immune from depreciation. The Yukon I test drove was a barely used 2014 SLT that seemed to be pretty much fully loaded. It was priced at $34k. Seemed similarly equipped to this new 2014, so it probably had a similar price point new ($50k). That's some serious depreciation. The Durango's I'm looking at are in the low 30's brand new.

I also agree the Jeeps would probably hold their value better too. I just really like the 3rd row and overall increased length of the Durango's better, and at a slightly lower price point than the Jeep too. I do love those GC's though Peter, would be a sweet ride if you picked one up!

And oddly, the GMCs have a higher rate of depreciation than the Tahoes, despite being the same vehicle.

Interesting.

Bobby actually I wanted to talk to you, I have a coworker looking to buy a brand new Colorado. She went to the Chevy dealer in Anoka, got to financing and started to feel like they were being sleezy and giving her the 'stupid girl' t yesterdayreatment, so she decided to leave. Told her I knew someone who could hopefully be fair to her. I think she's going to try looking at one in Forest Lake to see if they treat her better. You work tomorrow, got a number I can give her?

And also, let me know if you get a line on any used 2014 Durango or GC for a killer deal. Or a Lexus GX460, need to test drive one of those yet.

The Rallye I really liked how they look from the outside. The used Limited was nice since it had sunroof, leather, flat screens for people in back, and the led eyebrow lights. Not sure what I'd buy now, either Rallye or Limited...

[A//// Guy]

Those are all super nice! Id go with whatever you feel drives the best and the style you like most. Otherwise very comparable.

[Speedfreak]

The limited will be easier to sell and likely have a slightly higher value when it's time to sell. Generally a good idea to buy the top package when it comes to resale. Specially when the price comparison looks like your post above. Also, someone else took the first depreciation hit on the limited, you would take the hit on the new car.

I like the Durangos, that would be my choice for a full-size SUV w/3rd row seating and a decent tow rating.

We have a denali and a Durango (2003's) and hands down the Chevy is better. I am always fixing the Durango and we hardly drive it. It is going to be sold soon.
