Dealer Buyback Z71 Tahoe

[bharris515]

My Z71 Tahoe starting making terrible clunking noises at 14,000 miles. Take it in and of course it's lifters. After my truck sat at the dealership for 2 weeks and being told it could be months due to a national backorder on parts, I halfway joking asked if they'd be interested in buying the vehicle. 15 minutes later they offered me $72k for my Tahoe which only had an original sticker price of $68k. SOLD.....Duramax High Country Tahoe on the way. Hope these new 3.0 diesel's don't have a many problems as the 5.3's!!!

Already found and purchased one. Had search high and low to find exactly what I wanted but was able to find one in Texas!

A buddy of mine I just saw this past weekend had a white Premier Tahoe and lifters went out early at 4k ish.  Said he made a big deal with GM corporate and ordered a High Country with his preferred options for similar price.  Sucks but glad ya’ll got it worked out.

Crazy isn't it?  I thought the Suburban/Tahoe/Silverado used to be the working man's trucks.  Now they cost $70,000.  (Median/average US salary is what, around $60,000?)

If you adjust for inflation  they've never really been all that cheap

I feel as though their cost has outpaced inflation, yet quality and longevity have decreased (with the exception of increasingly flashy first glance appearances.)
