Dealer Wants My Sierra...

[98 Z71 SLT]

I talked with my Main Boss at work today. He is the Owner of the dealership where I work at.

 

All of us know that new vehicle sales have been very *spotty* lately...sell 14 on a Saturday, then sell 3 Monday.

 

Well, turns out that he will do "whatever it takes" to sell another vehicle off his lot.

 

I briefly asked about a Yukon out in the front lot--it has been in inventory over a YEAR.

 

We still have alot of things to "iron-out", but a move like this would cost pennies...if anything at all.

 

Here's what I own...2008 Sierra Ext, SLE-2, 4x4, 1200 miles on it...bought new 2-9-08

 

Here's what I actually thought about buying back in Feb...right before I bought the pickup:

 

2008 GMC Yukon, Sonoma Red, Cloth, Trac control, 3.23 locker, BUT it is a 2wd truck.

 

Would this be a dumb move...go from a 4x4 Sierra to a 2wd Yukon?? Opinions??

 

I NEVER go off-road; street use only. And in the Sierra, I've never used the bed yet!

I'm afraid only YOU can answer that.

[JoshRDavis.84]

If you wanna go for it. If it were me I would keep the 4x4 and the bed. Hope it works out for you either way

only you can prevent forest fires.

 

 

sounds like a good idea to me, how bad are your winters?

[98 Z71 SLT]

I'm afraid only YOU can answer that.

 

 

Yeah...just looking for opinions from some TRUCK guys !!

 

I'll sit down later on with a wholesale auction book...and I'll see how the values compare to each other in a few years.

+1

Well, this past winter was a pain...we had alot of snow here.

 

But, that is a winter, according to history notes, we get once every 140 years.

 

I'm not worried at all about winter driving, in either 2wd or 4wd...

[98 Z71 SLT]

And, I will add this...the 2008 Yukon has the good 'ol 4.8 V8

 

Which means NO AFM

I would not go to a 2wd vehicle here in WI. Where are you located in WI?

[03blackz71]

are you sure it is a 3.23 rear end? If so stay away!!

 

 

 

Also what dealership are we talking about since I am from WI too?

What's so wrong with the 3.23 gear package??

 

I've driven this 08 Yukon a few times...it has plenty of acceleration for normal street use.

[98 Z71 SLT]

Forgot to mention...there is another stipulation about this whole idea...

 

I don't know if the Dealer can authorize anything of this nature...

 

I bought my Sierra under GM Employee Plan...GM likes the purchaser to own the vehicle for 6 months. Well, I've owned the truck for around 11 weeks...

 

Maybe the Dealer can waive this?? I don't know.

Maybe the Yukon has been on the lot so long because it's a 2WD. Probably sell more 4WD in Wisconsin. I moved Colorado from Texas and had a difficult time unloading a 2WD Tahoe - no market.

[03blackz71]

3.23 is too low. You need at least a 3.73 if not the 4.10 with the 4.8 if you want to tow anything. You will regret it if you get it down the road!!
