A local dealer has a black 06 Denali fully loaded great condition paint interior etc... With 74,000 an a carfax report stating 1 owener no accidents for 25,000 here's my problem I test drove the truck when I first started it an (air bag) message popped up on the info center along with the heated seats in the front not working but the power seat work the dealer said thy can fix it they said it's the seats probably the 1st owner swapped seats an the connection are wrong an that they will order new seats....Can or does the seats have anything to do with the air bag an it displaying a message??? BTW
the cars drives very smooth

Any advice greatly appreciated I really want a Denali but don't want to be in a bad situation

25k is way too much for a Denali especially with the mileage. I saw one the other day with 42k miles and they were willing to take 20k for it and I'm pretty sure it didn't have issues with the seats or airbag lights coming on.

i agree thats is a lot of money for that vehicle. I would stay away from air bag problems as well. they are pricey.

If you seriously want the truck, and can't find one cheaper, tell them to fix the airbag light. Then take the truck to a trusted mechanic to make sure the dealer isn't pulling wool over your eyes.

I have an airbag message.. from my understanding its a faulty connection that a dealer would have to look at and in no way connected to the seat.. I've taken my seats out multiple times and had no error but like the others.. way too much! denali's are reallllly nice but not that nice haha! I'll sell you my 03 tahoe for $20k :)
