This is how it is in IA.Some states allow for the sales tax to be minimized if you are trading in a vehicle.
Example:
New vehicle: $50K
Old vehicle trade in: $30K
Taxable amount: $50K-$30K= $20K
So you are taxed on $20K rather than $50k.

Hey I just brought a denali from Laura last week I'm in Maryland. I'm currently awaiting my paperwork from Laura so I can do my tags as mentioned they'll cut you a check back for the taxes. As for shipping I paid $725 no hidden fees and I used montway shipping. Took 3 days for delivery.Great info thanks everyone.
Just saw this. Thanks for the reply Tee.
I've been looking at them hard again. I know the utility and function would be better than my current truck. I run a laser tag business so can leave all my equipment inside the Yukon overnight without worry of it being stolen or rained on. Just don't know if I want to buy a new vehicle at this point, or want to show up to a laser tag party in a Yukon XL Denali LOL.

I know this is a dumb question but did you test drive your vehicle or did you do the deal over the phone?Hey I just brought a denali from Laura last week I'm in Maryland.

It's been well documented that some of these vehicles have vibration issues as well as some people suffer from headaches while riding do a test drive is prudent to make sure your vehicle doesn't have these issues from jump.Dumb question...
What is it to test drive? Is new...
My mentally. I don't test drive the vehicle... I rather seat down and do numbers.
That brings me to my next question
Do you know if Laura's dealership takes the GM discount?
They got something I like for a Sale price $60,750. Discount already is $9,510
I'm been offering around my dealership $58,000 cash with my Discount so far is up to $60,890
MAke sure you take the vehicle you will purchase on a test drive and get it up to 65 to 70 MPH. If you notice any bad vibrations or rattles don't but that vehicle. You will be in the service deptpartment more than you will want too be.I rented a suburban in Texas and drove another Yukon XL in NY. I didn't had any issues. Just falling love with the new 2016/17 ride. Sold my 2007 XL and now shopping for the new babe. I hope I get a one I guess.
Thanks for the info
