What is low miles for a 2006 Yukon Denali?

[Stimpy911]

I have been looking at some rust free options for this year Yukon Denali. I found 1 for sale that has 156,000 miles. What are your thoughts? How long will these engines last if maintained properly?

I drive about 5 to 10,000 miles per year so I am not against buying a higher mileage rust free Yukon.

They are asking too high IMO. What would you pay for a used 2006 Yukon XL Denali with 156,000 miles?

I wouldn't worry about the engine, but the transmission is going to be the weak point. Pay attention to how it shifts during the test drive and check the fluid. Is it full? How does it look? Super dirty like it's never been changed? Or brand new like they changed it two days ago to mask a problem?

As for how much it's worth, that's very dependent on location.

As mstaake415 suggests, prices do vary, from region to region, and current condition is primary factor in the purchase decision. I'd recommend that you focus more on the rust-free status and the available history of service performed on the truck, more than miles alone. I purchased my new-to-me 07 Yukon XL Denali in mid 2018 for $14,000 with 125k miles. The truck spent most of its life in North Carolina, and it was rust free.

Other folks on this Forum will chime in with their thoughts and perspectives.

I wish you the best of outcomes on your search.

Agreed. Transmissions are the week point. Much easier and cheaper to fix a trans then it is to do body work. How much are they asking? 156,000 is pretty good for an 06.

I agree with everything said. I looked a long time before finding my 01 Hoe with around 150,000. Clean with no rust and maintenance records sold me.

My 02 had 148k on it when I bought it almost 4 years ago and 160k now. I live where I work so the mileage stays low. No rust and bought it for just under $4k. Around here they tend to be pricier but I got lucky and got all repair and maintenance records with it. It is the area that can make the biggest difference in the price asked, especially with relatively low miles.

My 2000 burb is still on it's orig transmission at 233,000 miles. [emoji16]

Damn that’s the exact truck I wanted when I bought my 2006 XL Denali 5 years ago! Hah! Beautiful truck!
Like the others have said maintenance and repairs done on the truck will give these things a long life span. 156k on the odometer isn’t terrible. It’s not what I’d consider “low mileage”, but like I said not bad. I’m currently just shy of 135k on my 2006, and I have had it 5 years now. Bought it with 74k on the odometer in February of 2015, and I paid 15,000 for mine when all was said and done. Which was right about where it was worth at the time I purchased. Price point for you will be based on the region. I spent more but that’s because it was under 100k mileage, in very good shape, and that demands a higher price point here in Southern California. Rust free vehicles may demand a higher price point for you based on location, and it might be worth paying that if it doesn’t have any rust and doesn’t need body work right out the gate after purchasing.

I bought my 2005 Tahoe here in SoCal 110,000 in the clock for $4500. No oil leaks just had to change the hose the ran through the A/C. Truck runs like a dream.
