Bonez3 Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Looking to buy 2012 Chevy Suburban or Yukon Denali XL. What kind of prices should I be asking for. Model can vary as can package. I'll take any suggestions and recommendations, thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NAZology Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 It just depends what you are trying to do. Are you leasing? Buying outright? Financing? Generally, you can look up the invoice value of a car. Usually anything less than invoice is a pretty good deal. Give me an idea on what you are trying to do and I will try to provide some opinions based off car buying experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take any suggestions and recommendations, thanks in advance. Use edmunds.com to research invoice pricing, for both the base car and all the options. Shoot for $500 below invoice and under no circumstances pay more than invoice. If you're financing, and the dealer isn't giving you good rates, you can join penfed for a $20 donation and get better rates through them (usually between 1.5% and 1.99%). I'm not going to lecture on buying a huge suv because I'm assuming you need the space for kids or whatever, but have you looking into something a little more economical? The new Ford Explorers have seating for 6, and two engine options that get 24 mpg highway for the v6 and 28 mpg highway for the ecoboost i4. Really a marvel of engineering that you should consider if you're not an anti-Ford guy. They also start at like $10k less than the base price of a suburban.

da#1skinsfan Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 You can get substantially (thousands) under invoice - I normally aim for 20% off of MSRP going into the negotiation.....depending on the car, the exclusivity, etc you should be able to end up with 8-15% off MSRP, and 20% is not uncommon especially with holdback incentives, you can get higher. First things first, check out Edmunds to see what everyone else is using to baseline. You can go lower. Go to some messageboards for your specific car and typically there are "what did you pay" threads. Find them and read...if not, make a post asking for people to provide you with that information. Typically, it exists somewhere out there. Then you know what people normally come in looking to pay, and you know what people actually pay, and you can refine your approach based on that.

canethang 305 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 well I sell GMC if you need any help.... Stay away from a new Ford Explorer its a glorified all wheel drive mini van and MyFord touch is junk I used to sell Ford and the ecoboost is only available in front wheel drive... The only true body on frame suv's left are the Yukon / Tahoe and Expedition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vehicle, tax, tags/title around 55K... what do you think? Get two of them. J;'/k, wow you can get a lot of vehicles in the price range that you are looking at. But hey get what you want, you are going to own it for awhile or lose your ass trading out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoodBits Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Good lord that's a ton of money for a car. Buy two Civics instead. Seating for 10, you'll use less gas taking both cars on a road trip, and it'll come in $15k less with decent features. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halter91 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 I love the full size Chevy SUV's. I really want a Tahoe or Yukon. For the life of me, I can't figure out why they are so much more expensive then a 4 door pick up. The new Silverado's are sharp! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
