Hi Folks, I'm looking at 2015 CPO, with 25,500 miles on it here in CT. 5.3 6 speed 3.42 gear. Truck is very clean but no moonroof. Not a deal breaker though. Any idea on a fair price for this truck. Dealer has it at $39k and it has been sitting since spring. Thanks in advance for your opinions.-Steve

Seems a little high too me.  Check book value for trade in and see what they likely have in it.  Of course they need to make some money ey to stay in business, but you should be able to get it 2-3k over trade in.

I dont know if you are set on a Denali but I picked up my 2018 SLT CC 6.5 foot bed for a few thousand less then that used truck.

Hey Steve, welcome to the forum! I would say that price is a bit high, I paid a little less than that for my CPO 2018 Silverado LTZ with only 2700 miles. Full blown retail on that Denali is probably around $38k. If I were you I'd do some digging around and find a comparable vehicle at a better price and use that as some leverage. I would also seriously recommend taking a look at a 2018 LTZ or SLT, they are giving the these things away right now for less than $39k because of the 2019's coming out. 

 

Happy hunting and good luck!

I just bought one a month ago. though it has moon roof, they had it priced at dealer 35,900 with 35k miles. Only had it a week when I bought it, brought it home for 34,500. So I would agree, that's a little high. Check NADA book price.

that CPO is a cash grab, dealers typically make more money on used vehicles anyways.

 

Buy a new Denali, factory rebates etc..., better lights, new radio, etc... 2018's will be greatly reduced in favor of the new 2019's. hold out for a 6.2 its easily worth the extra dough to have one.

Was this a GM dealership?  If it was, did they not try to get you interested in an '18?  Having premium priced used vehicles on the lot can make the choice to go new much easier!

I just looked at a 2018 SLT Crew cab 5.3 8 speed w/ 3:42 gears for 39K brand new. GM money ended it's now 42,500 as the dealer just called regarding. That Denali is overpriced especially with a 5.3. Denali guys want that 6.2.

I stand corrected fine sir! Lol

Here in Missouri, sunroof/moonroofs help welcome in warm spring after harsh winters.

I Love the one in my Sierra.

      I like the idea.  I would pick diesel if I had a choice. I need pictures though.

      Help purchasing a touch screen digitizer

      By newdude · Posted

      I've installed cheap eBay new aftermarket digitizers before.  They work.  Did a bunch of Cadillac CUE (aka Cadillac's MyLink) for someone years ago.  They all worked fine after the repair.    That number 22740886, that is a component part # for GM.  You can use it to search, but its not something that's obtainable at the dealer level.     So pretty much any of these will work - 2015 Colorado Digitizer for sale | eBay

      Exhaust heat while towing!

      By fondupot · Posted

      You can install tailpipes that direct the exhaust sideways vs the OEM one that goes straight back. There are several on the market, do you own research. HOWEVER, you need to make sure the Venturi vents are still intact, otherwise it will throw a engine code. There is a sensor somewhere that detects back pressure on the exhaust. And if it doesn't collect the correct metrics, it will throw the truck into limp mode.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      "Teardown" is complete. Head surfaces are clean and ready, new intake is prepped and ready. Coolant drained and water pump is removed, radiator is removed, new hoses and pump are ready.   The replacement intake is also from a '95 (with I think 260k, the odometer said). Noticeably less pitting where it covers the rear coolant passages. I'm not sure if that's a tribute to more frequent use, more frequent coolant changes/upkeep, or if the intake was machined at some point. But it appears I found a good one.   My coolant hoses were original, and the lower hose still retained the factory spring inside. It's not really rusty, but it's got deposits all over it. Unsure if I should re-install it (will thoroughly clean it first). Someone said hose technology has gotten better since 1995 (has it?) and I don't need the spring. I think modern EPDM is what made those hoses last from 1995-2026, so it's a question of how much suction can the water pump really pull, and will it collapse the hose without a spring?   I'm stopped and waiting for parts, however.   When I first brought the truck home, the fan was intermittently hitting the radiator shroud. I could see someone had monkeyed with the shroud (put a bunch of cardboard as a spacer between the upper/lower shroud halves. Someone said the motor mounts have likely failed and the engine has sagged. I wasn't sure I believed that. The engine is really solid in its mounts: To remove the old intake I *just* nearly permanently welded to the heads with freshly cured RTV and gasket snot two weeks ago, I literally had to use the arms on my lift and a chain with a bolt attached to the intake to pull it loose. It almost picked the front of the truck off the ground before ....scuuuuuuuuuuup.... I could actually hear the gaskets tearing and it broke loose and the whole truck settled back down. Motor barely moved.   SO, those parts I'm waiting on... The lower radiator mounts/bushings had completely failed. The radiator needs to be insulated from the rad support, and the bushings help the rad stand at the correct height. The plastic "baffle" was also destroyed at some point. Someone had attached the shroud to it incorrectly, overlapping a joint that should have been underlapped, creating another suspect issue potentially causing things to hit the fan. Broken tabs, side is busted off, and it's perma-formed/bent where it was jimmied incorrectly.   The baffle? Unobtainum. Long since discontinued from GM, of course. Aftermarket/capa/chinese? Also unobtanium. In GM's infinite wisdom, it appears there are at least two different variations whether the Blazer is 2 or 4 door, and I can't yet tell if they shared the same part with the S-pickups. Plan B, if I can't find a viable used one, will be to create a bracket to re-assemble the critical joint I need to seal a gap with the shroud. But that will bug me, it won't be...perfect.   The water pump bolts appear to have been installed with...plumber's putty. I guess, sure, if it works...? I've found a few "backyard fixes" like that. Someone's been here before....   If I can't find someone to jam bamboo under my fingernails to fill my free time this week I think I'll install the driver's power window motor and replace the rear door speaker that's inop. I've got a genuine GM "9.5" ohm working replacement. Why GM used a non-standard resistance....nevermind. Of course they did, you can get more sound from a cheap factory amp that way.   And the saga goes on...
