A new guy here from Italy!

[Alessandrolomb]

Hello everybody!
I'm Alessandro from Milano, Italy.
I was thinking of buying a GMC and told my friend about this, so he suggested I look for my insights on forums, and I've decided to join here!
Looking forward to meeting you all!

Hello Alessandro. Welcome to the forum! Lots of knowledgeable folks here.

What year vehicle are you looking at? Different generations have different pros/cons or things you should be aware of. Note the forum is categorized in the different generations to help keeping things a bit more concise.

Thanks everyone for a warm welcome!
As I said, I have a big family, and sometimes we travel together across Europe. With kids, we have to bring a lot of stuff with us.
I saw a GMC Acadia 3.6L V6 for sale for around 60K euros, which is a lot. But my friend told me that I could find a cheaper option.
What I like about that model is that it can fit all of us and our stuff, and we can travel in one car. Still, this car isn't that massive, so I can drive it on our narrowed Milano streets if needed.
I hope you can navigate me among different models, and I can see what I can afford.

A bit far away from where I live, but I've been to both places, and they are beautiful.
Do you plan to visit your wife's grandparents' historical motherland?

We did make a two week visit years ago to relatives on her mother's side. That side of the family was still in touch. Sadly that generation has all passed on now.

Welcome from Russia. There are few Europeans here)))

I've noticed that. I think it's because this car is widely popular in the US. But you can spot it in Europe too.

I'm sorry to hear about the generation that passed away. But it's part of life.

Yes, I agree, but also because this is an American forum))) in Russia we also have a Tahoe/Yukon/Escalade Forum))) but there is not a single American there))) But it’s cool here, since you’re right, these cars are popular in the USA, here you can find answers to many questions)

I think you can find more answers here since this car is widely popular in the US, and many people can share their experiences.
I wonder what the prices are in Russia for this car?
In the US dealerships, you can find one in mint condition for a reasonable price. But the one I found in Italy seems way too expensive. So, I'm looking for a one in other countries.

It depends on what kind of car you mean. They are represented in Russia by different years of issue)

At our local dealership, I saw a GMC Acadia 3.6L V6 for more than 60K € (which was approximately $65K). The car wasn't in the best condition and needed some major work. When I saw the price tag, it seemed way too expensive. Then I googled the same car for sale on the US market and found one (I'm not sure which state it was), but for $30K. Visually, the car was in better condition, but of course, you need to have more detailed info before jumping to conclusions.
