    How many miles is to many for a used Tahoe?

    The answer is it depends. People always gripe about high mileage cars (20k+ per year) as if they're going to be problems. The reality is these vehicles were mostly used for long commutes which means a single passenger on long highway runs. These vehicles may have very little interior wear...

    What would you do? Dealer negligent on warranty repair, now out of warranty and out $1675

    I doubt you'll have much luck with the Chevy dealer because their response will be, well you didn't bring it back to us, had you done that we would've fixed it. Which it's possible they may have. I don't blame you for not returning however. The best bet is to contact GM and try to get some...

    WARRANTY HACK - it works! :)

    Dealership experiences are more about the owners and GMs than the brand they're selling/servicing. I've been to terrible Audi dealers and wonderful Chevy dealers. Awesome and dreadful VW dealers. It's all about management and how they decide to treat customers and little to do with brand.

    A/C stopped blowing

    Recalls are driven by the NHTSA and are only for safety related items or where injury may occur, non-working A/C doesn't qualify. They've done the equivalent by extending the warranty on the part. GM has sold 965k full size SUVs since 2015; while the compressor issue seems prevalent it's still...

    When to Sell?

    A huge depreciation factor is current deisgn or not. Once GM changes to the next generation design the current will drop in price. Right now your Yukon is essentially the same as the newest on the lot. It makes it worth more because someone can buy it used and still look like they're driving...

    Has Anyone Cross-Shoped The Land Cruiser

    Ha, yes, Toyota truck engines are not known for efficiency. I think they'll be plenty of abandonded cars around, so a siphon hose will get you all that's needed.

    2015 Tahoe Long Term test - Before you purchase become informed

    I'm not sure the OP's intent was to get on here to bash his ownership experience, however it could come across that way since auto forums are littered with posters who create accounts simply to complain. I assure you every single model, from every single make has owners on forums griping about...

    Can you early payoff gm finance loan w/out penalty ?

    I've done this multiple times where I had cash to pay in full but wanted to take advantage of an incentive only available if financing through them. You can ask all the forum questions you want but in the end the answer is to read your contract as it will be spelled out in it. No one on this...

    Has Anyone Cross-Shoped The Land Cruiser

    I heavily shopped the 200 series Cruiser and LX570. I was looking to spend under 60k so I was limited to used for the LC side. I started leaning more towards the LX because it has a much better interior and offered more luxury features. The model for the 200 series has been the same since 08...

    Depreciation!

    The variable one may forget when calculating depreciation is gathering the formula from the MSRP price. On large American vehicles the discount is usually pretty generous. We got a discount of $9,700 off our 16 LT. When dealers are selling new models for almost $10k off then that's instant...

    2015 or 2016,..Tahoe or Yukon???

    For the number of owners to be of concern you need to examine the Carfax timeline to see if it was really a private owner or it just changed hands between a couple of dealers. Something to consider for everyone looking at different model year vehicles; you can't assume certain time left on...

    Brembo brakes installation cost

    I concur, $250 isn't bad for that job.

    Fuel Injector cleaning???

    This is a service advisor trying to make that extra comission. I'm not saying injectors don't get dirty but a vehicle with only 34k running tier 1 fuel likely doesn't need this. You can dump a bottle of Techron in the tank at the next fill up if you think something needs to be done.

    New to forum.. GM mil discount

    GM usually always has a $500 military rebate which comes from GM, NOT the dealer. I recommend you go to truecar and build your selected vehicle. Whether you use truecar or not to buy, you'll want to click on the "view incentives" tab which will show you all of the rebates/incentives available...
