ForTop said: That price indicates no 3rd seat - which reduces resale value by $1000

$1000 seems high to me as far as reducing resale value........you can buy 3rd seats on Craigslist or Ebay for no more than $500 and I see them all the time for $200 to $300.

From what I've read, suburbans/yukons are notorious for having tranny problems. I had a 2000 sub that needed 2 transmissions (30k and 35k). Luckily, it was leased. Since then, I've leased 2 other subs for 3 years or less (i.e., all still under warrantee). Now that GM offers 100k powertrain warrantee, I am considering buying a sub/yukon. I really like the truck, but the trannys do go.

Car dealers don't use Craigslist or Ebay for pricing - they use wholesale car dealer pricing services - like Black Book or Manheim Auto Auctions. I'm not sure if the non- third seat equipped Tahoes/Yukons have mounting brackets in the floor for third seats - I'm somewhat sure that I have seen the commercial Tahoes without third seats which have no brackets in the floor to attach the seats. (Those commercial Tahoes look neat - vinyl seats, no power mirrors, etc. - a real work truck.)

How much off on 08 Tahoe LTZs? by carboy8
Dec 28, 2007 (5:58 pm)

I remember like 6 months ago it was very easy to get 9 k off MSRP and eventually to 10k after a little haggling. I'm trying to pull the trigger before the end of the year but it seems hard to get 10 k off an 08 LTZ in Texas. The dealers I visited had plenty in inventory? Is anyone else seeing these kind of deals?

Of course they do...but what I meant was you can buy a used vehicle without a 3rd seat and assuming it has the mounting brackets, buy a 3rd seat on Ebay or Craiglist for a whole lot less than thru the dealer. Last time I checked with GM they don't even want to sell you a 3rd seat that is not installed at the factory...their price was almost $2000 delivered to the dealer. I have had three Suburbans in the past 17 years and have always sold the 3rd seat as soon as I got the vehicle. And never had any trouble selling or trading in the vehicle without a 3rd seat.

You can sell or trade in a Tahoe/Suburban without the third seat - no problem - you just get less for the trade in - that has been my experience - and what every dealer has told me. I have always received Black Book trade in values, so I think it is accurate. Here is where the -$1000 comes from in Black Book trade in values:

w/o 3rd Seat -$1,000

Here in California the dealers use either NADA or Kelley Blue Book. I have never heard of any dealer using Black Book. I just checked the value of my '06 Suburban in both books and found that neither NADA or Kelley showed a deduction for lack of a 3rd seat...nor did either list the 3rd seat as an add-on in value.

Looks like I will by buying my next Tahoe in California.
Buy a new Tahoe for $27-28K, immediately trade it in to the dealer for KBB trade in value of $29,750 ($30,500 with 3rd seat). I pocket about $3K in one day.
BTW, GM's website shows the third seat as standard equipment for a Suburban, so I think KBB and NADA assume that the third seat is actually in the vehicle when you trade it in - so no mention of a "missing" third seat in the pricing model.

Good deal on 2008 Tahoe LS? by dd24fan
Dec 31, 2007 (4:36 pm)

I just paid for a basic LS model today in South Carolina for a total out the door price of $29,913.59.
 
The salesman gave me an internet price of $29,343.59. The sales tax was $300, new tag was $59, electronic filing fee was $12, and the documentation fee was $199.
 
I didn't argue with the doc. fee even though I've read on some other forums that this was an inflated fee. Do you think I made out on this deal? Please let me know. Thanks.
