I am new to this forum, and appreciate all of the great feedback that seems to take place. I look forward to gaining much more information in the future. I would like to purchase a 2009 Denali fully loaded. It appears that the sticker would be around $50K and the instant discount would bring it to around $46K. What is your experience on how low the price will go in this market? Anyone with recent experience at a dealer that could share general pricing discounts would be appreciated.

I'm gonna be honest--and brutal---and give you the truth. Don't buy a new one. Buy a used one.

 

Late model used 07/08 Denali's can be BOUGHT for $26k to $28k out the door.

 

Why buy a new one at near $50k, and watch the value plummet right after you sign the papers??

 

Resale on these behemoths SUCK righ now, and nobody wants them

 

don't make a $22000 dollar mistake...track a used one down with low miles- they are out there.

Hell yeah, and you still get the 5yr/100k warranty.... My local dealer has had a couple low mileage ones people traded in when gas hit 4$/gal . They were scooped up fairly quickly surprisingly enough.

I've always bought my vehicles new, but I'm going to have to agree with Stealth here. Considering the market for trucks, it's hard to justify buying new when you can get almost the exact same truck, albeit with some miles on it, and save an enormous amount of money. Buy an '07, which is identical to the '08s and damn near identical to the '09s, and use some of the 15K you save for some mods.

$41,590 is the price on a loaded out AWD Denali new in white with a black cabing at my GMC dealer. I wouldn't be used because you can't get as good of a rate on the loan. Plus your getting someone elses problems.

It's not just the trucks that seem to depreciate more than expected, but also 8 cylinder engine cars. For example, a new 2008 Impala SS stickers for about $ 32K. I just saw several used 2008 Impalas SS's advertised for $ 15K!!!!!!! They had about 25k miles each, but the price is less than 1/2 the original sticker price. That's a huge depreciation for a one year old car. And honestly, the rebates and discounts on those cars are not that great so you will pay about $ 27k for a new one.

You're getting a warranty too.

I bet if you go in for one of those cars, they'll have " . . . just sold them. But I'll show you another car you'll surely love." :cheers: Maybe not, but we saw that alot when shopping for her car last year.

 

But I do think an Impala SS would be a fun car to drive :D

It was on eBay and even now there is one with the starting bid of $ 15,500 without reserve and nobody has bid on it yet. Buy-it-now is $ 17,200. The car has 30k miles. So I was not making this up.

I had an '08 Impalla SS as a rental car - needless to say I drove the hell out of it. The only problem is that it is a front wheel drive car and when you get on it real hard it will pull to one side...

 

 

Back to the topic at hand - go used. They are incredibly cheap right now.

FYI, I paid 46 and window sticker was 48.5, when they first came out in May of '07. Had everything but rear e-window. They were hot at the time, with most dealers only getting one. As much as it makes sense with the buy used savings all above say, I have had nothing but trouble with all the 3 or so used trucks I've bought, even certified one's, while my experience buying 5 or so new ones has been pleasurable, with zero to little trouble with any of them throughout their life with me. Just my opinion, but I also can absorb the extra $300/month with no big trouble.

I would think today they would take 43-44 pretty easily, especially if they have more than one.

Good luck. It has been my favorite of many, even with the e-nannies.

Thanks to all for the comments. I am actually weighing used against new. I have purchased both in the past. There are times when new gets low enough to at least consider the additional price. I have not found the truck I m looking for as used, though I am not in a particular hurry either. I have 2 vehicles to trade or not to trade for the new truck, so I am not sure if financing will be a factor. I do like the idea of the warranty on a new truck, however if the truck is close to what I want and the price is right used would be a real advantage.

I am sure you can bargain hard for a new or used right now. People and business are strapped and cash is King. I would not be afraid either way new or used. Dealer profits can be higher on a used rig depending on what they used for ACV when they traded. It would not surprise me to find a new 08 on a lot that had plenty of room to negotiate, but I haven't been by a dealer lately. If you trade a vehicle or two, always ask what the ACV on your trades is. You may be shocked.

      Brake Bleed Procedure

      By needafix · Posted

      I'm not sure if this should be a reply on this thread or a new topic, let me know if it's out of place. This my first post. Thanks 85077522 - ACDelco GM Genuine Parts Brake Master Cylinders. Anyone else had to replace this brake master cylinder yet. I didn't do any brake work, it looks like new parts and I've had the truck for about 4k miles. When it started to throw codes I did the calibrations with a bidirectional scanner and got the codes to clear but they came back so i did the routine; base bleed, automated bleed and final base bleed. All that with Bosch ES16-32N fluid (please look it up). That seemed to fix it but 100ish miles later it failed again so I ran the same process but with a pressure bleeder this time and got the same results, fixed for 100ish miles. The original fluid looked bad and I thought I got most of it out. The codes; P25A2, C05B0-00, C2A1B. I can get them to clear but not for long. The C05B0 indicates a leak in the front circuit (which is bone dry) so I'm thinking of doing the bleed process on that front again today and I don't know if that's taboo to just do the front but at this point it seems like it's worth the try anyway. The new master cylinder/module unit is supposed to get here today. But now I'm pretty much convinced this install is over my head. I've called several shops and some mobile guys that I know but this thing is like radio active material scary wise. I did get 2 local shops say they should be able to do it, one says he has the SPS2 programing capability. And with the battery disconnected is there supposed to be pedal resistance, mine is to the floor, then if I pump it I can get some resistance.

      I wasn’t commenting on your post. Certainly wasn’t arguing. I was making an observation on my long term experience with supposedly proper length of driving for proper heat cycles. Works for me. Although I have seen water or vapor come out of exhaust when vehicles weren’t run very long and shut off. It’s very humid in the morning. Then hot and humid.

      Not what I said but I can work with it anyway. Complete combustion produces CO2 and H20. When it's cold enough you can 'see' it as water vapor but it is always there and more so the better the tune up. It's physics, not an argument. In a cold motor when the cylinder jacket is below the condensation temperature the water goes to the pan and not the PCV system. Heating the oil moves it from liquid to vapor where it is removed by the PCV system. When and how much depends on temperatures. Of the air, the water and so on. It has little to with the humidity. Water is a combustion product.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I can only guess as well that something was clicked on that brought you to the half ton choices by accident. By all means try again and chose the 3500 and sort out that its the cab and box configuration you want and choose four wheel drive ( rather obvious to have a transfer case ) and to make sure the dually isn't chosen. I find or at least did a couple of years ago when I was sifting through the options that it would sometimes jump ahead after choosing the series of truck and in this case 3500 and skip some of the other initial configuration choices and have to watch the heading bar and sometimes back up by choosing the first in the series of option break downs. I think sometimes the computer will remember items that were last chosen and skip over the first part. Anyway go through it all and depending on the trim level chosen and I think the LT is one that may fall into that where the option of having the 4 high auto transfer case can be chosen, where as a High Country doesn't show that option as it just comes with the fancier ( not necessarily better though in terms of potential problems ) transfer case but for sure both transfer case choices are equipped with high and low range in the HD truck segment. Like Newdude said who works at a dealership, its the half tons that are the ones that will come with the single speed unless certain options or trim levels are chosen that add the two speed transfer case but as your looking at an HD, you don't have to worry about that hot mess.    One item that at least didn't show up and not sure if it does yet or not in the HD options on the manufactures pubic website is the upfitter in cab switch option if one is desiring that. Unfortunately its not wired in at the factory but the panel with the switches is on the dash but the wiring harness to be installed gets tossed under the rear seat to be installed by whomever after the fact to complete the installation.

      Yesterday we brought home a 6yr  old Havanese dog from a nearby SPCA.  We've had her for 24 hours and we are delighted with how well she is adjusting to her new home.  It  was a huge decision to adopt a dog at this stage in our lives but we believe we made the right choice!   it was reported that her first 6 years were ones of neglect.  I think she's already realizing her life is going to get a whole lot better...  so is ours!
