Methodical, thanks for your very well thought out and informative post. From my calculations, you obtained about $4500 under invoice, not counting the $8K trunk money. That is the best deal I have come across with the most recent cash incentives from GM. What geographic location are you in?
 
I have been searching for a similar deal on a Tahoe LTZ or Yukon SLT (or less loaded Denali) for a few weeks here in So Cal. No luck so far, but your post encourages me to keep looking. Thanks.
 
Care to share which dealers wanted to truly "deal?"
 
Mike

Two thoughts:
 
1) When I was buying I was weighing a fully loaded 2008 Denali and one with about 3k less in options. It was noted that the 18k off MSRP might not fully pertain to the cheaper vehicle, which makes sense. I didn't negotiate a price on the cheaper vehicle so it's unclear how much less that discount would have been.
 
2) A dealer in Sunnyvale, CA had two prominent newspaper ads in the San Jose paper this past weekend for 18k off MSRP on all 2008 Yukon Denalis and Yukon Denali XLs in stock.

My how some things change. I bought a new 2001 Yukon XL that I'm still driving today that stickered out at $44K. With access to the G.M. discount I was able to pick it up for a little less then $37K . I thought that was a pretty good deal.
 
I love the vehicle & have had no issues with it and with only 80K miles on the clock, I fully intend(ed) to drive it for several more years.
 
Methodical, when I read your post I ask myself if maybe it's time to get while the getting is good.

thank you methodical for this very thorough post. it's the best i've read on edmunds. i'm also a long time lurker and user of the forums to inform myself of prices. i have a similar negotiating process to you. however, i actually sold yukons and escalades in the past, so i have some insider info as well.
 
friends ask me all the time how to get the best deal on a car, so i started a wiki recently to document all the different buying processes i've been through for different cars. the goal is to create even more transparency by listing prices paid and buying experiences in an organized way for buyers to help other buyers. my last deal was a lease for a 2008 bmw 328i. i listed it at wikibuyer.org.
 
thanks again for the post! i always wanted a denali, now i'm seriously considering it. if i do pick one up i'll definitely post it here.

In florida, 2008 Yukon SLT w/4sa package in silver with titanium leather trim and captains chairs with the 5.3L Flex Fuel V8 OHV 16V FI Engine for $31,400 out the door. We have 6% sales tax so you can adjust backwards for comparison we are right where other people pay. Apparently two weeks ago they got another incentive package from GMC (according to my dealer), he said I could wait, but there are very few SLT's w/ captain's chairs left in inventory (captain's chairs were my wife's deal breaker), but he still had lots of 2wd SLE in cloth and lots of Denalis.

Price on 2008 Tahoe with LT1? by formulavee

I am wondering what sort of price I could get on a 2008 Tahoe with LT1 with a few options. Something with MSRP around $34k. I am wondering if I could pick one up new for $23k or so. I would think after the Red Tag price and $8000 customer cash, I should be able to find something. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Keep it simple. With everything that's going on, I think I'd shoot for around $5K under invoice, negotiate from there............

Buy new vs. trade in by lexlan

I am itching to take advantage of good pricing on an 08/09 XL either SLT or Denali but am concerned about what i will get on my trade. i currently have a 2006 black Denali with 36k and am afraid i will get low-balled on the trade in. KBB shows $20K for tradein...even though i got it for less than $40k originally, 50% depreciation in 2 years stinks and i'm not going to give GM a lot more for the same truck that only gets 15 mpg. any thoughts out there?

That's a bit of a tough call. You can drop it in the paper or Craig's list and sell it yourself. But on the trade your paying tax(at least in Ohio) on the difference so the question becomes, "Can I sell it for that much more myself to make it worth it?"

Suburban/Yukon XL by murphy4
Jan 10, 2009 (11:42 am)

We have 3 small boys, a dog and seem to always have a bunch of gear on trips. We have never been SUV people, always foreign wagons. We rented a Suburban last summer on a trip and I love it. The gas mileage was better than expected, managing the right foot and the cylinder de activation on the highway makes a huge difference.
  
Now our lease on our volvo wagon is close to coming to an end. I am thinking Suburban/Yukon XL. What should we truly be paying? Is a 2009 better than a 2008? The 2009 do have the 6 speed, that has to help highway miles.
  
Any advice to a SUV rookie would be appreciated.
