Which Tahoe to buy?

[jd08]

My wife is looking at upgrading from her 17 Acadia all terrain to a Tahoe. New ones are out of our budget. She wants the Z71 package. Question is which is better purchase now for a better resale later on down the road? A 2017 Tahoe z71 with 30,000 miles or a 2019 Tahoe Z71 with 64000 miles? Both are priced close to the same. The 17 has bench seat second row, digital insturment cluster, push button start, blind spot, etc. The 19 has bucket 2nd row seats, plain cluster, push button start, blind spot, etc.

We do not put alot of miles on a year so miles are not a huge thing but still worries for resale.

Is there any differences between the years? Features, software, drivetrain?

this isn’t a ton of help but consider bench vs buckets wisely. If you have kids or passengers that are older. Buckets are nice. Have a baby? Or planning? Bench all the way for car rides where someone has to jump in the back to tend to the little one…. Have 3 or more kids? Get a suburban

I have buckets in the back and learned the hard way


I see people on here trying to trade their buckets often also for other reasons

No kids, just dogs. We are leaning more toward a Tahoe with a bench seat. We haul stuff that would need a flat floor and the buckets would leave a open space when folded.

Suburban is too big for the garage and my wife wants a Tahoe.

I vote for the 17 with the Bench Seat. Wish I got the Bench Seat instead of the Bucket.

That is the one we leaning towards.

My main question is in like 4-5 years which would have a better resale. A 17 with 60,000 miles or a 19 with 95000 miles?

Keep up on service records and they’ll probably be worth the same as each other just like they are valued right now

I think resale value would go to the two year newer verses the mileage especially if you take care of it and service it regularly. You could go to KBB.com and put in both vehicles and see which one comes out on top.

Funny. I never think of resale when I buy a vehicle. I think about which one is the best vehicle for me with the options I want.
I have several vehicles but the oldest one I have is a 2006 f150 I bought brand new and I still love it 16 years and 190k miles later.

Generally there has been a drop off in pricing around the ten year age. That's when prime lenders don't want to write the paper and most of the buyers statistically speaking are less financially able. Whether that will continue into the future with all the shortages and inflationary pressures, I wouldn't even want to guess.

We found a 19 Tahoe z71 midnight edition with 60,000 miles that we are going to look at.

We were looking at a few new Tahoe z71 but can't see spending that much. I can get these used ones for $15000-17000 less with out the mark up included.
