New or Used 2500 Denali

[IFlyEm]

So I am considering buying my first Sierra and honestly not real familiar with the pricing.  I have owned Super Duty's in the past and know that Ford inflates the price a fair amount then knocks it back down to "reality" with tons of rebates. That said my pricing was generally $500 - $1000 below invoice plus rebates.   My last purchase was a 2011 F-350.  MSRP was 60,000 and I bought it for $49000+ TTL.   Shopping the Sierra it seems the typical sale pricing isn't quite as  discounted off MSRP as the Ford.

 

Anyway,  I have been looking at 2016's and newer 2500 Denalis.    There isn't a whole lot to choose from even 500 miles from where I am at in SoCal.   From my initial shopping it seems that a used 2017 with approx 10k - 15k miles is priced similar to a new one with the 10% discount off MSRP.     Is the 10% promotion more aggressive than you normally see?  Or is it pretty close to what you can negotiate on any given day?     Looking at the pricing I could find in the internet 10% off MSRP puts it below dealer cost.

 

Thanks!

Like all the big 3 do, they give out deals around holidays. 10% seems average but if you wait till around Labor day they usually give bigger discounts along with financing deals. You looking at gas or diesel?

Ok that's what I was wondering.  I am wanting to try the Duramax.

If you're looking for a duramax, be aware that the 2017 and 2018 have a different one (L5P) than the 2011 thru 2016 (LML).

 

Yes, the body style changed in a different year that the engine.

This^^ especially if you want to delete. I chose a used 15 2500 mainly for that reason (no emissions here). Well that and the price. Paid less than half of  the original price was in 15.
