Prices - Trade in, Sell or Keep - Tahoe LTZ / Denali

[tomsquad418]

Need some advice here

Do 2015 Yukon Denalis have keep lane assist not just departure warning, CarPlay, and intellibeam headlights or did those options only because available in 16? Looking for these features as I either want to get into a ‘16 Denali or Tahoe ltz. I’m currently driving a 2015 Tahoe ltz that is missing these options. It’s pretty loaded up but missing 4x4, max trailering and electric side steps. It has about 33,000 miles and is the tungeston metallic color. How much do you think I could get for it? Trade in or by owner? Should I hold off for another year or two until the price drops some more on the 16 or will my 15 have plummeted by that point?


Thanks!

Those are '16 options. They were not yet offered in the '15.

I have all those options on my 16. Took 45 days to find one within 500 miles equipped like that in a decent color (not black or plain white) with lower miles. In Aug it was 55k. If you're not in a rush, selling to private party will get you the most out of your 15, you'll never get a "great" price from a dealer when trading. When figuring your 15's value, don't use KBB, use NADA or Black Book. Good luck!

Why not consider a GMC Yukon Denali, which has the 6.2L engine and offers more features?

other than the 6.2 what "more features" can you get on a Denali that aren't available on a loaded Tahoe LTZ? Personally, I didn't even look for a Denali over a Tahoe due to two things: 1. I don't like their front end 2. They were thousands of dollars more (5-7K)for essentially the same thing (other than the 6.2). Hopefully Chevrolet wakes up and offers it in future Tahoes other than the RST.

It is my understanding from a previous thread that a fully loaded LTZ is closer in price to a base Denali with the same options for less than $5000. I thought I had read it was something like $3500.
With that being said the 6.2l engine is definitely worth the upcharge if doing any type of towing.

Right now you can get close to 15k off a 17 Denali with 0% APR for 72 months!

Refer to #1.

I don’t really want to spend more than 3-5k on top of whatever I get for my car..whether that’s the trade in value or for sale by owner value. I would assume my car is around 40-45k so I’m really looking for a fully loaded ‘16 Tahoe LTZ with electric side steps for 50k. Has anyone seen these out there? Would love tubgeston metallic too!

With the options you want, I doubt you'll find any at $50k, unless it's got a lot of miles on it. In a quick, nationwide search, the best I saw was right at $54K, staying below 20k miles and I'm not sure any of them were fully loaded. Like I said above, it took me 45 days to find mine and at the time it was a steal at $55k. Good luck searching!

Denali has different leather, more insulation, more acoustic glass, real wood trim, upgraded interior materials on the doors and center console.

It’s possible to find a new 2017 ‘base’ Premier in the $50s but it won’t be 4x4 or have power assist steps most likely.

Some of the other options of the Denali vs Tahoe are real wood laminate in the interior and real metal trim also on the interior , but that 6.2 sold me I also have a 69 Cutlass with a Rocket 350 and I think my Denali pulls almost as hard as my Muscle car .....

Try an intake, exhaust, tune. If you haven't already. It really improves the 6.2 and transmission!

FWIW, I Carmax'd my '16 Denail with 16k miles (no 4x4, 20" wheels, no steps) and got $51k for it. That price was around what I was seeing online for private party. So a '15 Tahoe comparably equipped would fetch around $45k tops, my guess anyway.

Except that is not what he wants.....by the time you add 4x4, 22s, power running boards, adaptive cruise, lane assist, HUD, DVD player, etc (all the stuff he wants), you're back up to what I originally said above for a 16 LTZ. CarMax is giving you "trade in" value, far different than retail.

There is a fully loaded LTZ with all the bells and whistles listed at 47.9k at a dealer. It’s got about 36k on the odometer, however, it’s black on black which I think it’s a bit boring..

 

[tomsquad418]

I don’t mind mileage up to a certain point. I’ve got about 33k on my ‘15 and would go up to about 40 Ish so on a ‘16... and I think I’d actually want to keep the stock 20s over 22s.

 

[Rockytfox]

I bought a ‘16 Denali fully loaded with the Lane Keep Assist, Adaptive Cruise, Power steps, etc. 28k miles for around $57k.

I was thinking the same thing.

I assume the 15 Yukon Denali came with those items standard as well?

I have always owned Suburban's and never considered Yukon XL's. However, I am looking to get into the newer model ( price wise will be more comfortable in a 2015), and am seriously considering spending the extra money it will take to get into a Denali XL. I do tow, as well as go on long distance trips, thus the 6.2, upgraded mag suspension and the 8 speed transmission would all be important factors.
So while I do not like the exterior cosmetics of the Denali as much as a Suburban, those other features are more important.
I assume the 2015 Denali XL's are fully loaded with every option?
