Deciding what to do with my 2023 Denali

[djnice]

They say the 25 engines are okay. Why not trade it sooner than later?

When the dealer tells you there is nothing wrong with the 6.2, see how that holds up when you ask them about trading in for a new truck. If they’re playing ball, maybe opt for a different engine?

I asked the salesman to make me a trade in offer. No reply

Go figure! I would reach out direct to the sales manger for the dealership instead. Say while you’re disappointed you’d like to remain a GM owner. If you’re serious, I would have some numbers in mind and throw in an offer on your trade and ask price for a 2025. Don’t be wishy washy. Make it easy for them to deal with you. I would find the next closest 2 or 3 dealers to you and do the same thing. You never know.

You are number 13 in line.....

The trade in value should be fine, especially with the warranty… lot of unnecessary fear I thusvfirum, remember the forum represents less then .001 percent of the vehicles and that many have already failed. That said the 25 is superior so I would expect a value hit, as is typical if any refresh, regardless if brand. There will be a lot of consumers and dealers with no knowledge of the issue and there is no requirement that you need to say a word. “Let the buyer beware”

 

[the 18th letter]

If the recall has put a stop sale on the affected units I would guess dealers won’t be offering trades on the at the moment.

My trust of this process is minimal at best. My understanding is that the engines are fine until they are not. I personally know 3 folks that have had their engines fail and there was no prior symptoms before failure

You know 3 people that had this failure? You either work at a dealer or every person you know, and you know a lot of people, drives one of these. The odds of this are low. Crazy if true. I’d like to think I know a disproportionately high number of folks with one of these, myself included, but I have yet to personally hear of a failure.

I live in Oregon and work at a good sized lumber contractor sales company.. Our parking lot is a varitable GMC lot.
