Hello All,

 

I am new here. I have been lurking over at cf.com for a while and found out about this place over there.

 

I am about to the point of selling my '95 GMC Yukon GT. What is the used market like for these trucks now a days? It is a 2dr 4x4 with all the maintenance records with ~98700 miles.

 

Hopefully I will be looking to get into a Z71 Tahoe or Yukon after this one.

 

Thanks for any information. :crazy:

Welcome to the forum.  Not sure what the used market is like.  W/ the low interest on new cars I'm guessing it's low right now.  You may want to check out www.kbb.com to price out your yukon and see what it's worth.

Welocome Paul.It is good to have you with us.

 

I am going to move this to the General forum so maybe it will get more attention and help you out a little more in your quest for opinions.

Welcome to the site Paul.  Follow chevy4x4's advice and price your vehicle out on Kelly Blue Book or maybe Edmunds.com.  Market isnt as important as what you are willing to sell it for.  If you price it competitively you will sell it.  Overprice it and you wont sell it no matter what the market.  Where do you live?  That can make a difference too.  It still has a lot of miles left in it so pay the bucks and have it detailed. Good looks and reasonable maintenance records will help you greatly.  Good luck!

Thanks for the reply's.

 

I am in the Dallas area.

 

I have done the research on KBB but i have found inconsistancies at times and it is always good to get as many points of view as possible.

 

Thanks again :crazy:

The market for a 2 door isn't very high since they've been discontinued.  With close to 100K, you'll be looking at $8-$9,000, depending on body and interior condition and any aftermarket products you may have added.

 

One way to look and see what they are going for in your area is to to go to http://www.autotrader.com   Put in your vehicle and area and see what others, including dealers are asking for them.  

 

Keep in mind, many lenders are reluctant to lend money on a vehicle with over 100K on it.  In other words, unless someone has the cash, they are going to take awhile to find a loan to purchase the vehicle.  You'd be better off (if you're in a hurry) trading it in, taking the hit, and getting into your next truck.  Not what you probably want to hear, but just being honest -

    • Hey everyone, I recently had an issue with my 07 2500HD GMT900. My DRL’s stay on at all times. Right front turn and right mirror turn signal indicator stay on solid at all times. By “at all times” I mean the only way to make them go off is disconnecting the battery. I tore the headlight assemblies out, tried disconnecting the harnesses to eliminate bad wiring at the harness, I unplugged the headlight switch, no change and the mirror turn signal still stayed on. My first thoughts were : Bad bulb and/or socket somewhere, under hood fuse panel bad, bcm bad, tail light or trailer wiring problem, or some random short to power in the harness.  Possibly a bad ground but unlikely. I had a big clue in the fuse panel, it had a burnt smell. I started pulling every fuse that had to do with DRL or right turn/park lamp. Nothing made the right directional turn off but pulling the DRL2 fuse made the DRL’s go out.  After studying wiring diagrams, I found that both problems had that fuse panel in common, the bcm also controls both problems but knowing the fuse panel had a burnt smell I removed and disassembled the fuse panel and found a little corrosion on the printed circuit board.  I ordered a new fuse panel from Amazon for like $260. When it arrived I installed it, and put everything back together, the problem was fixed. I figured the fuse panel needed to be replaced anyway so that was a logical place to start. Hopefully this story helps someone in the future. Regretfully I didn’t scan for codes before I did everything.
    • That stinks. I’m sitting on the side of the road right now with the same issue. Never had an issue before taking it in for the ground strap recall. Now I’m outside of warranty and they’ll probably want $200 just to diagnose what they already “fixed”. 
    • I wonder kind of nuts and bolts they will come up with next? Jim
    • “It should be recognized, however, that there becomes a point where fuel economy oils do not make much economic sense for the end consumer—we talk about a fuel saving of ~€100 compared to a risk of €1000 Euros if the oil is too thin and causes increased engine wear rates. However, the benefit of these oils accrues to the car manufacturers. If their vehicles can save 1–2% fuel by using a special fuel economy lubricant, then that OEM can drastically reduce the amount of fines they need to pay.”   I liked this and the following paragraph as well but it’s really only touching the beginning of the benefits OEMs see from spec’ing these oils. After you factor in “out of warranty” service work and new car sales when these engines fail before their time, it’s a good racket for them. Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you!
