Used prices and "the recall"

[vcode]

So what is up with the insane prices for used triplets from this era? $28K for a 2012 Tahoe LT with 50K miles? Holy %$#@! There are others equally high. I can get a used 2020 Nissan Armada with 34k miles (yeah, I know it's a Nissan) for $31K! Also, I have inquired about 3 other vehicles (2 Escalades and a Yukon) with low miles that have mysteriously disappeared from dealer lots. On all three I was told they were returning to the auto auction. Surprising given the crazy prices out there. Or are the dealers (these were GM) afraid to sell these with a safety recall and no parts?

Stay away from dealer as 1st pic, if possible. There are a lot of private party FSBO that n the interwebs on places like TRED, AutoTrader, etc. You’ll save enough to have a vehicle inspector check the truck out before hand and use it as a no hassle devaluation tool to motivate the seller.

This works out well if it’s an out of state vehicle. Most of those sites allow the entire trans to be completed online to keep you out of the DMV and complete the financial portion in escrow for safety. They usually offer a VSC for high milage vehicles to secure you from any surprises.

Supply and demand, fewer SUV's because the launch of the new ones was delayed and parts shortages.

I ignore the airbag recall and its a nonissue for me.

Your stimulus dollars at work.

As far as the Nissan. We bought my wife a new 2008 Infinity EX35 (she thought it was cute). It was without a doubt the biggest piece of schizer we have ever owned. A big old 1T with aftermarket bumpers backed into it in a parking and the broadside was a total. My wife was ecstatic.

True, but even then, $10K more can get you in a 2020 Durango R/T with a Hemi and 20K miles. $28K is strong for a 9 year old Tahoe LT with few options.
