Time to replace the Envoy

[Halon]

Sounds a lot like like my 03 GM. Just last week I put $450 into it, then $100 the next day, then $150 2 days later. $700 total in 4 days.

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.

Keep in mind, I just went to a local dealer to check them out and compare them since I really hadn't seen them first hand much before. I'm not buying any of those ones. Whatever I do buy, it will likely be a Used 2014 w/ 20k miles kind of thing. So if I got an SXT, it would likely be in the $29k range. I'm just going to keep a close eye on Cars.com and wait for a good deal to pop up over the next few months.

Still want to test out a GX460 though for comparison. I think I'm taking the VW off my list since it does seem like it could fall under the typical Euro umbrella of maintenance suckage.

That Yukon is a bare bones SLT, doesn't even have heated seats, so it wasn't $50k new. I definitely wouldn't buy leather without heated seats anyways.

For reference on these newer styles, I've had almost zero problems with mine and I'm approaching 180k miles. I've done nothing but oil changes, changed all fluids at 150k(diffs, xfer case and tranny) and brakes. Even has the original shocks, although I'll be swapping those out for some factory take offs here on Christmas break. It's the most reliable car I've ever owned. I think that's why they hold their value so well, after the initial first year depreciation hit of course.

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

I think that's from the style of them. The 99-06 Yukons had better resale than the Tahoes, and the 2007-2014 Tahoes have better resale than the Yukons, minus the Denali. They did restyle the Yukon in 2010 I believe, they looked a little funny at first. Just comes down to which one is better looking.

Yes it does

Yea that SLT seems pretty loaded to me, besides nav, rear entertainment and bling rims.

It really comes down to B's moto, to each their own. :)

So something kind of like this might be something I'd like. Used 2014 SXT with Rallye appearance package (gives it similar look as an RT). Appears to have the upgraded stereo. The one I drove had heated seats and heated steering wheel all activated via the touchscreen, not sure how to tell yet if they all have that with the upgraded touchscreen. Anyway, $29k barely used.

That seems cheap (Haven't been keeping track), that's a nice vehicle.

Weird, the buttons must be totally different than mine. Doesn't look like it has power folding mirrors either.

You can see the switch right next to the door handle on the drivers door panel.
