#39 of 176 2004 Yukon SLT by amilby Feb 17, 2004 (8:06 am)
I bought a Yukon last Saturday (V-day present for wife). I was able to brow-beat them into a low price (lower than invoice) on a loaded SLT (heated seats, leather, 2nd row captains chairs, XM, OnStar, 6 disk in dash, etc, etc) Only thing we didn't get was sunroof. We got it for around 32k plus 0% financing for 60 mo. We caught the dealership as they were moving locations, so they were more willing to unload cars quickly so they didn't have the expense of moving them across town. Plus, it was a snow day here in Dallas, so the dealership was very slow - they were happy to make ANY sale.
#40 of 176 rebate by dardson1 Feb 18, 2004 (6:08 pm)
I bought Jan. 10. Rebate was $3000 but there was an additional $500 (forgot what they called it). Anyway, they lump it together to = $3500
#41 of 176 700 miles on Tahoe at Delivery by mattrig Mar 01, 2004 (8:49 am)
I just purchased an '04 Tahoe for what I feel was a good price. The features we wanted were not in any Tahoe on the lot so they had to locate one for us in Pa. As we went to pick up the veichle the dealer said it had 600 miles on it when it really had 699 miles. Now if they picked up the vechile in PA there is no point in PA 600 miles from us. What should we have done? We feel like we were taken advantage of. Any comments would be appreciated.
#43 of 176 High delivery miles... by mitzij Mar 02, 2004 (9:44 am)
Your Tahoe may have been dealer traded before it was traded to your dealer. It may have started in Ohio, traded to Pennsylvania, then traded to your town. At any rate, warranty starts at delivery date and delivery mileage. You could go to your dealer and ask for a 'GM VIS' report. It will show actual warranty numbers, when it starts and when it expires. If the salesman is confused, ask a service department person. You will need to have your vehicle identification number handy. If they have high-speed online access, it should take about 2 minutes.

I'm a bit confused--are you concerned that the Tahoe in question had at least 600 miles on the odometer, period...or that it had 99 more miles (699) than what the dealer originally stated?   In any case, as mitzij pointed out, the warranty coverage as far as miles are concerned begin at whatever the odometer reads at time of delivery...in this case, 699. Now, if you're a bit miffed that the Tahoe in question now has 99 more miles on it than you would have liked (or, accepted?), 99 miles of "who-knows-how-the-vehicle-was-driven-during-that-time?" It's your call (assuming you hadn't already signed all the paperwork), but personally I wouldn't take it unless the dealer is willing to give you a fair discount for the "excessive" mileage--which one would hope he's already doing to account for the 600 miles on it already, let alone another 99 miles on top of that. I know that many a potential buyer would just walk away from it, period...I mean, it isn't unreasonable for one to expect very few miles on the odometer of a brand-new vehicle, no? Or put it another way--should one be expected to pay a new-car price on a new vehicle that has been used as a demo/test-drive vehicle? I would hope not...
#45 of 176 one more thing re: high miles by tdoh Mar 03, 2004 (9:35 am)
The dealership where I bought my DXL didn't have the exact model I was looking for, so they had to do a vehicle swap with another dealership 35 miles away. Since I wanted to buy it that very day (income tax reasons and other time constraints prevented me from waiting a few more days) and they couldn't arrange for a vehicle carrier to deliver the vehicle, they had to send a guy to go fetch and drive it back. Although doing so meant that there would be almost 40 miles on the clock at time of delivery (I'm a bit anal when it comes to how many miles should be on a new vehicle at time of delivery since I don't really like buying new vehicles that have been used for test drives and such), it turned out not to be as bad since the dealer permitted me to drive it back to his dealership so that I wouldn't be concerned about someone else putting the miles on my soon-to-be vehicle and/or wrecking it; note that the dealer allowing me to do this was a bit of a risk on his part since I hadn't signed the paperwork at that point.   Anyways, just wanted to add a little more to the high-miles issue...
#46 of 176 On the other hand, by blockislandguy Mar 15, 2004 (6:21 pm)
the new car warranty just got extended out 700 miles (assuming the buyer goes thru the registration suggestion posted above). To have an additonal (lets assume that the buyer didn't take delivery with some obvious warranty problems) 700 miles of free warranty is certainly a partial off set to the mileage.
#47 of 176 Mileage by ishaw Mar 17, 2004 (12:54 pm)
My dealerships have always allowed me to go pick up my dealer trade so that no one else would be driving the truck. Since I have always had to go to Denver to pick up my new truck, I use the 100 mile trip home to begin my break-in process for the vehicle.   I realize that my position is a little over the top, but I won't accept a "new" vehicle with more than 50 miles on it (and both my Tahoes have been delivered to me with less than 20 miles on them). I'll bet the hardest miles a vehicle ever sees is when it is being test driven. Can't you just hear the sales person in the back seat: "Put the pedal down sir . . this truck really has great power . . . ." Or, as one sales person suggested to me recently, "hit the brakes, you'll be impressed with the anti-lock." Or, as yet another sales person told me while test driving a sport car with only 60 miles on the odometer, "bring it up to red line . . . that's where it really starts to perform." Imagine what a great deal the person who bought that car got after it had been on 10-15 similar test drives!!   I realize some of you sales people out there would never suggest a customer abuse a vehicle while on a test drive. But, in my admittedly limited experience, it happens regularly. Perhaps the sales people just don't like my granny driving style.
#48 of 176 Talk to Press by Sylvia STAFF Mar 23, 2004 (8:08 pm)
A reporter is hoping to interview a recent car-buyer who participated in an overnight or 24-hour test drive and then purchased the vehicle. Please respond to 248-890-8582, faratayeyahoo.com or jfallonedmunds.com by 5pm Eastern Wednesday, March 24, 2004. Thanks, Jeannine Fallon PR Director Edmunds.com
