Should I buy a 2019 Tahoe ?

[playadude]

My tahoe is getting pretty high in milage, (150,000 miles). I saw this one at echo park, it's $38k.

I am really exicted about the 2021 tahoe, but I know it's going to be very expenisve to buy a brand new tahoe.

Thank you guys, I really appreciate any input.

What year is your Tahoe and what do you not like about it?

 

[gat0r]

if you have an NNBS, that might not really be high mileage

its always good to let someone else take the depreciation hit, if you have a choice.
given 2021 has lots of new stuff, could also be a good idea to let them find & work out any kinks.
since we all know they use us as the lab rats LOL


so is it worth maintaining yours for another few years? if so, wait.
otherwise an '18 or '19 could be in your future

Depending on what you have and where you are, the depreciation the dealer does at trade in would be foolish to take on a trade in instead of selling to a private party. If I had money to burn and you are itching for something else, then get the 2019 and wait out the bugs problems on the 2021. I like keeping what works for me and not making payments and insurance at a lower level and knowing what is what with what I drive. That 2019 is used. You know only what someone says about it. In the end, you will either talk yourself in to it or talk yourself out of it.

Thank you guys !

The 2019 I drove was a rental car, so I'm not really excited about that, especially here in Denver since everybody rents them and hauls ass up to the mountains, ( pretty tough duty).

It did drive way better than my 2011. I really like the interior compared to my 2011 model as well.

By the way, I drove a Grand Cherokee Trailhawk (5.7 hemi) when I drove this 2019 tahoe, and it wasn't even close.

The Tahoe is such an amazing ride on our crappy roads.

Thank you again.

That looks like a nice clean used Tahoe. If it checks all the boxes for you, go get it. drive if for a few years and trade it in on a 2022 model. I went from a really nice '12 to a 2015 and love that decision every time I climb in the seat.

 

[playadude]

Thanks Phil, I noticed that the 2015 + (This Tahoe is 2019) felt way different than my 2011.

The one I tested was a rental car, it looks like echopark dealership has all rental car returns in their tahoe inventory.

Not sure how I feel about that.

 

[OR VietVet]

I recently, 3-4 months ago thought I needed a newer rig. 2007 to 2014. I just was not comfortable in them. Shoulder comfort in seat sucked. More plastic everywhere. Give me a low mileage 2000 to 2006 any day. Ride in a newer one was great but I just look at the overall picture.

That Tahoe looks exactly like mine. You should be able to get all service records. If possible have a independent mechanic check it out. If you can get a decent warranty and all checks out I would buy it.

The bulk of my vehicles [plus everyone in my family] were all former rentals. No issues to report with those rentals. According to service records they were all serviced every 5K miles or less.

I did buy my 16 Tahoe LT new but that was because it was just 5K bucks more then a used one from Enterprise with over 40K miles on it at that time in August 2016.

I take mine on long trips several times a year and it is pleasure to drive.

It all depends upon the condition and price of the vehicle and what you can afford. For a few thousand dollars I have always gone new.

However, last year, I bought a current model year rental return Volvo only because it had 15k miles on it and it had been serviced on time at a Volvo dealership and the price was $17 less than a new one.

While the car developed some issues that were fixed under warranty, they were not related to the fact that it had been a rental. I ended up trading it for a new, larger wagon because the larger one met my needs better (did not have to shoehorn my 6 foot plus tall kids into the back seat) and the new wagon was heavily discounted at the end of the year to clear the inventory out!!

I bought a new 2016 Tacoma Limited for $40k. Absolutely the worst vehicle I have ever owned. Bitched about it daily. Traded it in for a 2019 Tahoe LT
which I am absolutely in love with. I paid $40k for a 2019 lease vehicle with 26k miles. LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS SUV!!!

 

[Phildirt]

I bought an 18 with 30K on it for $38K. Have not regretted it for a second. Do not want the independent rear/4 wheel alignment BS on the 2021, will likely switch to a pickup or another brand when its time to replace this one. Plus imo the pickup front end on the 2021 is absolutely hideous. A big step backwards in the looks department.

That Hoe looks great! I bought a new 2019 Z71 to replace my 2005 Z71 and absolutely love it, despite the thinner body panels and plastic bumper skins. It rides and drives great, is very quiet and is very responsive. Oh, I kept my 170k mile 2005 as it was worth more to me than the trade in. The old one, also bought new, has been problem free until the a/c compressor went out last year, then the emission control system, etc. I guess it got it’s feelings hurt that I brought a new Hoe home and is starting to act up!

Around here (Northeast) you could get a Denali for $40K and 50K miles. I'd think about traveling to find a better deal....

Is Echo Park the same thing as Carmax? I saw the lock box lying there on the floor. They attach that to the window and then put the keys in there while the vehicle goes on a car hauler for transportation. Also the layout of the website and even the photography angles all look the same as Carmax.

PS, my 2019 Yukon also has a September of 2018 build.

 

[cireallin]

That's not excessive mileage but if you can spring for a newer one, go for it. You won't regret the upgrade

 

[LRob]

My 09 has 150k and still rides great. Is your truck in bad shape? Has needed repairs? I just got my truck exactly where i want it mechanically and cosmetically. No leaks, tune up, fluids flushed, wheel/tires, etc. plus its paid for to boot! I have an 04 accord v6 with 266k that still purrs like a kitten! Sure i like the newer trucks but i enjoy nit having a $700 payment even more. But if you just want a new truck, the 19 would be a good choice. 2021 will be buggy as per usual so avoid that one. Wait until 2023 model year. Thats what i would do.

Any chance you parked in the Aviator lot at PHL airport a few months ago?
This was the first time i've seen a Callaway and was checking it out.

I bought my wife a 2019 as a rental fleet turn in. No regrets. it was well maintained, interior is nearly flawless. driver seat wear was almost non-esistent, and getting the certified warranty was a bonus as well. about 10-12K less than an equally equipped new 2019/2020 on the lot. 33K miles is no concern for me. I intend to run this thing into the ground. Still have an 08 that I drive with almost 200K.
