I will be interested in seeing what people think.
First, the groundwork. With the economy the way it is, especially gas prices and SUV's ability to suck gas up like a veteran pornstar, I have wondered what impact it would have on SUV pricing, etc. I called the dealership to talk to the dealer who sold me my Tahoe last year to ask him the same thing. I asked him what was he "seeing" in regards to the SUVs/Trucks. He said that the prices on the SUVs (trade in) have really went down and that when people approach the dealership to trade in they are deciding not to because the trade in price is SO low. His suggestion was that it will "come back up... so just wait".
However, I see this as a time to try and have my cake... and eat it too. Right now I have a Southern Comfort (LT) Tahoe. It's a 2007 with 24k miles, and with the SC extras (different paint, 22" wheels, body kit, exhaust tip, grill inserts, different wood grain inside). It's not for everyone, but to me it does look good.
But....
There are some features that it does not have that, well after driving my mother's Yukon, I wish it did. Mainly, Navigation, Back Up Camera, Power Liftgate, and 4x4 (it would rarely be used, but I'd like the option to have it). Add to that I really like the look of the Z71's.
So my question is this. Would it be possible (and make sense) to try and trade my Tahoe in, on another Tahoe? As long as it's 2007 or above, it doesn't bother me. Heck, even a few more miles (nothing over 32) doesn't bother me (especially if I can lower payment).
My dealer said it's very rare that you can accomplish such and lower the payment but it could happen. I just would like to know before I go and put more money into it (muffler and programmer).
thanks for your suggestions
