Crazy "Used" 2021 Tahoe Z71 Price

[Thomas Schneider]

I brought my wife's 2017 Ford Escape into our local Ford dealership for routine service and I noticed a 2021 Tahoe Z71 in their used car area! So I had to see what they were asking for it, and from what I could tell, it didn't have any of the sought after options (i.e., Trailer Package, Air-Ride Adaptive Suspension package, Z71 Signature or Off-road Package, etc.); just the basic model. It has 6,552 miles on it and the price is $78,750!! When I got home I checked it out on their web site and it shows a $5,250 dealer discount, so they're actually asking $73,500. I have a difficult enough time seeing dealers gouging customers with 10, 20 (or more) thousand over MSRP for new ones, and now the used market is gouging customers too?? It would be interesting to see when this one does sell, how much did it really go for...

Use car/truck prices are way up for awhile now. I could sell my 2019 Z06 for more than I paid for it new. Same with my 2021 Z71 Tahoe. Now is not the time to be buying a used car/truck.

It has probably sold already. Lots of folks are just happy to get a new one, regardless of how it is optioned.

Sure hope it wasn't a distressed trade in due to lifter problems. Being at a Ford dealer I'd be suspicious.

I bought my z71 brand new, and paid less for it then every single used z71 I could find on carmax regardless of options. It makes no sense. Used cars are booming!

yep my 18 Silverado has gone up $4000 in value since I bought it pre-covid, prices might not go back down until this time next year

I was thinking the same thing and clicked on the CarFax report they offer and didn't see any mention of major repairs. It showed a 5/14/21 entry for the original Chevrolet dealer and was sold on 5/15/21. It showed 1 recall item accomplished and then it was offered for sale by the Ford dealer on 8/22/15. As of today, still for sale if anyone is interested!

I can't believe I haggled for the price of mine last December! I actually got them down due to my trade in but it was the end of the month. Just lucky timing I guess.

I sold my 2019 RAM Limited for $6k over what I paid for it new earlier this year. I had it for 23 months and 27K miles.
