    What to do with old gas?

    When I bought a new lawnmower I didn't want to use 5 + 2 gal of old gas. I wasn't going to pour it out in my yard, so I just used it. I'm still using it actually and the lawnmower was purchased in 2021.

    Questions from a prospective Tahoe owner...

    $10,000+ recommended services? My buddy has a Traverse and it was almost $3000 recommended when the car was 1 year old (scam imho). I get this funny feeling Chevy service will be as disappointing as Buick GMC was, and I'm an optimist lol p.s. imagine a cabin air filter is $185, while a 4...

    Any recently ACCEPTED orders by GM?

    I happened to check online and the virtual assistant said our vehicle has been produced, shipping arrangements are next, and the dealer is the best source going forward. I do see that this entire process isn't really handled online, it feels like 2006 when I did this with BMW. 19 years have...

    Trying to Pass Smog using O2 extender

    I can honestly attest to being able to pass in PA with one category not ready. Chased a P0420 for years with a Buick Enclave. Every shop told me NO, YOU CANNOT PASS IF SOMETHING IS NOT READY, COME BACK WHEN IT IS. To be clear, the P0420 is reset. But, having done so, there are 7 I/M...

    Questions from a prospective Tahoe owner...

    That's a great idea, we live in Phila and the dealer websites show no discount. After we ordered, I came across a dealer in MD showing nice discounts and claiming no add ons. Just curious, how many miles were on yours when you got it? Never occurred to me that it could be shipped for a...

    Questions from a prospective Tahoe owner...

    I would not have agreed 20 years ago, but today yes. So many simple innocent issues become thousands now (just the other day a person said dealer says need new screen update failed $2500). Just hope when the time comes the extended warranty is reasonable. We plan to get it prior to b2b...

    Questions from a prospective Tahoe owner...

    Welcome! Was in your boat in Mid may. We wanted a Tahoe for maybe 6 years, total loss forced our hand. Looking at the availability, years ago liked RST and wanted performance package to be like a cop car. In 2025 due to seeing a friend “swim through Escalades,” wanted more luxury. For some...

    GMC v. Chevrolet - Does Brand Matter?

    having owned a Buick and having been to every GMC dealer within 50 miles of where we live, I’m really hoping Chevy will be better. Maybe a pipe dream but Chevy sells more vehicles. Buick service was sub par and out of warranty went to an indie garage (got Bilstein B6 front/rear installed for...

    2026 Tahoe/Yukon Differences

    I'm a GM fanboy and the Tahoe order is only our 2nd GM car. When I first dealt with Buick GMC service in 2011, I felt like I walked back in time to 1982. Poor customer service, no automotive knowledge, old looking service departments and lounges, lack of communication. It is truly the worst...

    2026 Tahoe/Yukon Differences

    That's a pretty blatant gimmick, called captive financing. GM is about 3.5% higher than our CU. At what point do consumers say no to gimmicks? I say only if they are powerless or don't feel like shopping around. imho it's emotion that is ok with them. With my wedding all those years ago the...

    And I thought Tahoes/Yukons Were Expensive

    The good thing that we often forget, is that our salaries have kept pace :laughing1: I know some people whose did (43%), and they immediately got a new Escalade last year. Isn't it ironic.... (maybe this year would have been better, but it was the timing of the raise).

    Any recently ACCEPTED orders by GM?

    Has any explanation been given at all? imho the prelim status checks for constraints. If they exist, from what I understand, the order can be modified, so things can proceed. People normally can only wait so long for a vehicle, 3 mos is to be expected, but unless a specialty car like a ZR1, 6...

    Any recently ACCEPTED orders by GM?

    High Country CK10706/3LZ/GXP/HVB Our dealership informed us yesterday afternoon, that our vehicle has a TPW of 7/28/25. They said likely we'd be picking it up in August. In collectively trying to combine the info I've found online, this would imply 3 mos, from sitting down and placing the...

    2025 tahoe ordering

    I asked a question, to which noone seemed to know the answer to (likely those who know the answer aren't reading order threads), on one of these threads. It was whether or not GM knows who the buyer is, when a custom order is placed, or if it's simply between GM and the dealership. Because...

    Any recently ACCEPTED orders by GM?

    That's what we ordered and it was accepted on Friday, took almost 4 weeks to go from preliminary to accepted. But my understanding this also is dependent on the dealer applying an available allocation. So if constraints, it won't be in preliminary, from what I've read online...we really wanted...

    Any recently ACCEPTED orders by GM?

    Yes, we placed an order on 6/2/25, and it was accepted 6/27/25. Seems to be in line with what I've read online. Our concern was that our dealership is tiny. They have 1 Tahoe on the lot that hasn't sold in a month and a half, and zero Suburbans. So the concern was that people mention custom...

    And I thought Tahoes/Yukons Were Expensive

    To illustrate, I thought if a person leased, they could get anything they wanted. The Tahoe we ordered, per the website, would be $1854/mo. for 36 mos, to lease, setting it to $0 down and 15k miles per year. Not to start a flame war but I cannot imagine spending that much to drive a...

    New member: 2025 Tahoe High Country

    I see the brakes are $3700 when ordered with the vehicle. But on eBay etc. way less expensive, sometimes even below $2000. Many of us here have replaced rotors and calipers but on a new car, I'd be hesitant (as in 6 miles or 9 miles etc.). I have wondered to myself, when the six piston brakes...

    2026 Tahoe/Yukon Differences

    The next question might be, take Friendly with $5300 off. btw there is one in transit identical to our order, with a discount (so not just ones sitting are discounted), which makes me at times wonder, why wait? But this doesn't exist in our market, they are almost always with 24" rims or...

    2026 Tahoe/Yukon Differences

    I decided to take a look. Found a dealer called Friendly Chevrolet in Dallas. The biggest discounts were on the High Country's, $5k and $5.3k respectively. Amazing to me, this dealer has 23 Tahoes in stock. In the Phila area, most dealers have 0-2. When I pull up those 2 cars with the...

    2026 Tahoe/Yukon Differences

    It's hilarious you didn't get an answer. Where I am, discounts seem to be in the $2700 ballpark (larger for LS/LT). Phila metro area. But up in Hartford, CT, over list price? Just something I noticed. The ones with the discount have VINs ending in the 200's. The ones coming in are in the...

    Inventory or Order?

    I guess we can agree to disagree. There's no such thing in my mind, nor is there according to my Chevy dealer, as a non refundable deposit. She said by law they cannot refuse to refund it, when I asked. She also asked why are you asking if it's refundable? I said because I like to consider...

    Inventory or Order?

    That sure is strange. What has surprised me is most dealers I've looked up online, have only 80 cars in stock. And usually, 0-2 Tahoes. Oddly, the last 2 dealers had 5 Suburbans each, one had 0 Tahoes, one had 1 Tahoe. Per the mfg numbers, Tahoes outsell Suburbans. And sales wise is 1/2 of...
