Update...as of 5:21pm Saturday. Original truck, Silver Birch Sierra, SOLD Sat Morning. That's a good thing...I hate Silver Birch color...

I also have to apoligize for a public display of what is simply called a Brain Fart, which I demonstrated in the original thread, by simply even considering a poor deal, which is the Pontiac Solstice.

It's easy to get sidetracked, ESPECIALLY when your own employer is waving a sign ($10,000 off) in front of you......believe me...

OK...Manager, in phone conversation, OFFERED another deal....we have another 09 New Sierra, MSRP $38025, it's mine for $27600 plus ttl. Ext Cab Z71, Carbon, loaded SLE.

Actually, it's too damn expensive, and loaded with worthless options. Worthless to me, anyways.

Also, these days, spending nearly $30,000 on a truck is insane. $30k can buy alot of other stuff, especially in the midst of a recession. Plus, I bought a loaded up 2008 SLE2 Sierra Ext Cab 4x4 NEW for $23,000, back in Feb 2008. $7000 more for essentially the same truck??? Nope.

SOO, after a few nights of good sleep, fighting the urges to buy new, etc... I came to a point where I am going to go with my gut feeling...BUY USED.

On our used car lot, we have a 2004 Yukon XL 1500 4x4 that hasn't even been out once for a test drive. Truck was a trade back in October, it has 108,000 miles, one owner, etc

Let me ask you guys...what are 04 XL's going for in your area?? SLT, 2nd row buckets, No sunroof, No DVD. Also...opinions on Sport Red?? When that color came out, I wasn't too hot about it...but now it seems ok...???

Truck as it was traded in, before detail

I have to get something lined up here...I have a group of people waiting to buy my daily driver...

That Yukon looks very nice for the miles; and the price isn't out of line with what I've seen around here lately. I'd see what you can do on it....

The price seems normal to a tad high compared to what I've seen similar Yukons listed for in this area. GMT800 SUVs are a time a dozen right now so if this one isn't exactly what you are after, keep looking. Regarding the color....not my cup of tea but that's just my opinion.
