Currently I drive a 2004 Yukon SLT with 250K(I would like to add that I just drove across country and back with it). I have loved my SUV ever since I purchased it in 2006 and have kept it in excellent condition. I have done my own maintenance, so I know how to fix or repair most things on it. My friend's wife drives a 2005 GMC Yukon SLT with 160k on it. I see it everyday and have always wanted to replace mine with it. They have had no issues with it, and she only drives it a few miles each day. It is almost flawless compared to mine that has cosmetic issues like paint starting to fade in places like the roof, paint chipping off, and scratches. The other day I asked him how much he would sell it to me for, just for fun, and he started out at 8,500. I did not try to negotiate at the time because I wasn't all that serious, but now I'm seriously thinking about, but I don't know if 8,500 is too much (I also want to mention that he is an insurance adjuster so I don't know if he is overpricing it). KBB has it listed at 6,600, but I guess my friend has the advantage on me since he's not trying to sell it right now. Keep in my mind they are not trying to sell it; I just made an offer to buy it.
Before thinking about the 2005 I have been really interested in buying a 2015 GMC Yukon SLT over the last few months: brand new design, all new features, much less miles, and about 35k-40k more in price. The 2015s are obviously way more advanced than the 2005 models, but I'm worried about the cost of maintenance, recalls, and all of those electrical features failing. I could save a load of money buying the 2005, but I somewhat want a change in design. What do you think, 2005 Yukon SLT 160K miles vs 2015 Yukon SLT $$$?
