2023 Tahoe HC with SC. Should buy it or wait?

[Deuce16GMCs]

Placed my order on my White 2023 Tahoe High Country with Super Cruise, Adaptive Cruise, Air Suspension, Black Wheels, Black Emblems, and pretty much every other option on December 1st. Order got picked up December 20th, and arrived at the Dealer Thursday the 9th.

Problem is, since placing the order, I've learned of all the things a Yukon Denali has over the Tahoe High Country.

1) Fog Lights
2) Laminated Side Windows
3) Integrated Infotainment Screen
4) "Real" wood trim vs Plastic Simulated
5) 4 extra speakers
6) Center Console Wood Trim covers
7) 100% All leather seats vs just the uppers layers in the Tahoe
8) 3 years of OnStar Premium with unlimited Wifi
9) Full LED tail light assembly.
10) rear eLocker vs the G80 mech one.

Told the dealer I wasn't interested and why and they totally understood.

They removed the dealer fee, took $3500 off the sticker, and added $2k to my trade. Honestly wasn't expecting that.

Even with the pricing incentives, I still don't know. I can have a Yukon ordered, and will take longer, 3-6 months they say. And the GMC dealer (completely different BTW) would offer about $2k off sticker, but my trade will also be worth about $2k less by then. Plus the Yukon dealer is 5 states away. I'd have to go pick it up or arrange transport. The Chevy dealer is here in my home town.

I have the Tahoe with me. Did a over night demo to take time to think about it. But I have to decide by 12pm tomorrow.

Should just take the Tahoe, which is indeed very nice and good deal from what I've seen folks paying especially for a car with Super Cruise or just wait for what I want.

Your advice is really appreciated.

A bird in the hand.....

You don’t sound like the $$ will make your decision so it comes down to timing (now or hopefully in next 6-months) and personal preference.

Seat material: most people won’t even notice

interior differences: which do you like better and do you really care?

Onstar and Wi-Fi: you pay for them either way be it included in sticker price or paid for separately.

E-Lok vs mech: most people wouldn’t know the difference

Fog lights: Yukon has them in the bumper and on Tahoe some folks have added aftermarket lights. If you are a real fog light user this could be a deal maker for some…

With all that being said, maybe just flip a coin.

Tahoe trade may be worth retail in 6 months from now if you’re still dying to order a Yukon. pretty good chance you won’t loose much or very little. like one said. bird in the hand.

With those incentives you won't lose money on the deal. So really up to you.

Beautiful Tahoe. I think most of said it above.. Flip a coin. It’s really just a preference thing, they are very similar for the most part besides a little thing here or there which is cosmetic. I’ve always been a “Chevy” guy. Only owned Chevrolets but I ordered a Yukon as I just love the way the Yukons looked (especially the Denali). With those pricing incentives maybe you take it. Order the Yukon and then when it comes in make a decision if you wanna trade it in and get Yukon or pass on it. I don’t think you’re really gonna lose out on much money in next few months with the discounts you’re getting.

I don’t know what you’re driving now but if it was me I would take this deal with those incentives. Order the Yukon with the other dealer and then when it arrives compare it side by side and make the decision then. You may fall in love with the Tahoe over next few months and decide to keep it!

Tha passenger side running board doesn't work. Didn't work at the dealer yesterday, stated worked when we took it to dinner and now it doesn't work again.

Engine in the Tahoe? 5.3 (?) vs 6.0 in the Denali might be a turning point for me. They are making you a really good deal on that Tahoe though.

6.2
HC. Loaded with SC.

Me, I like the front end look of the Tahoe over the Denali. I'd take the deal on the Tahoe, drive it for a year and see if you still like it.

I think the High Country comes standard with the 6.2L

Take the Tahoe now. See how the ‘24 refresh hits you once it’s released.

Nice Tahoe!!! I love the interior color. The only thing I still can't believe is that the HC Tahoe doesn't get the laminated glass, especially at this price point. My 16 Ford Explorer Sport has the laminated glass (sound screen I think is what Ford calls them), while my 09 Tahoe LTZ does not. They do make a big difference in making a quieter ride. It's puzzling why the Tahoe HC doesn't get them.

We just traded up from an ‘09 Tahoe LTZ to a ‘23 Yukon Denali and I was underwhelmed by the noise improvement. I should have done a decibel reading before we sold it, but from memory it was not a night and day improvement.

Take the incentives and run. They are incredibly rare especially with GMC. You can brag about having equity on the car while all of the people who payed 10-15k over msrp are still underwater.

Id take the Tahoe, wait for the 2024 refresh if your not happy by then. Tint the front windows, pay $200/year subscription for wifi, way cheaper than what gmc charges already built into msrp, get some $20 leds for the reverse lights.

 

[Deuce16GMCs]

Bough the Tahoe.

They did 4k off. Plus waived the dealer fee of $999. So I save $5k off sticker.

Plus my trade was worth $20k, maybe $22k on a good day, they gave me $24k.

Plus threw in the All Weather Premium Mays for all 3 rows and trunk, so $500.

Now I just need to do something with this brown in the high country grill.

Nice. Congratulations!
