The Tahoes (at least since 2000 model year, probably before that) have been using the 4L60E transmission, a very reliable and dependable unit. There are known issues with a hard 1-2 shift "bump", but that just involves replacing the valve body (actually it's just a part in the valve body).
 
I have an '00 Yukon with 151K miles and I just replaced the tranny last fall. I was having the hard 1-2 shifts and could have gotten away with just a new valve body; but I plan on keeping the truck for a long time; I'm giving it to my daughter to drive when she gets her license next year. And we get GMS discount anyway, so a new Goodwrench transmission only cost me about $1800, plus a few hundred for my mechanic to install. Not bad.

Back on your '05, margins were even larger between MSRP (which was further inflated back then) and invoice, and there were larger rebates. THAT's how you got $10k off back then.
 
Right now, for an LT3 like you're looking at, the invoice is likely in the $41.5-42k range, and then there's a $2000 rebate. So your $38,900 is likely right at invoice or even lower to start with, and a great price--the typical for Tahoe, etc. buying.
 
If you wait later in the year, rebates will as always get larger to clear things off the lot (I'm thinking...back in May of '05, your '05 likely had a $4-5k rebate alone, on top of the $5k or so dealer discount), but no telling by how much.
 
So right now, great price, and very much the norm. It's not the 5-figure discount on your old one, but you also have to keep in mind MSRP's aren't as overinflated as they were with the last gen and there's both smaller margins and smaller rebates.

FYI- Texas area prices seem to be cheaper then other parts of the country. They are advertising $8K-$10K at most dealers these days. I agree; either wait a bit or buy used. Used Tahoe on Edmunds is not what they are going for here; it's $1-2K less then Edmunds for some reason...

Where did you see the 8-10k off in Texas? Just curious which dealers are offering that since I am looking right now for an LTZ or LT3.
 
Edit - looks like Ray Huffines is having some nice deals. Advertising 7-10k off so you could probably even get a bit more.
 
I am curious to see what others are paying for LT3s LTZs with sunroofs, DVD, and Navi.
 
Is now the best time or should we wait another month...May?
Thanks!

After reading this thread, it looks like I should be able to easily get $10-12k off an LTZ that has an MSRP of around $50k.
 
I am going to shoot for $38k since gas prices are still rising and most dealerships around here in Dallas have a LOT of Tahoes sitting on the lot.
 
I know some people here have bought from dealerships around Texas so please feel free to email me if you know which ones will work with me more than others. I believe one in Grand Prairie will?
 
Thanks!

I'm in Austin, just saw the deals on the Tahoe. Looking to update from 03 LT. I paid 500 over invoice and got 1.9 /60m back in 03. Can I look for the same deal on an 08 getting 10-12K off plus the special finance rate?

I am looking at a 2008 3lt tahoe which is loaded. It is an executive driven car with 15000 miles. I am looking at an offer of 33500. Is this a good deal.

Almost the same thing happened to me. I should have looked it over, but on my contract they added an extra grand for accessories that I never recieved. Also had problems with my trade in and they tried to change the trade in allowance. What a horrible business. I am sad that I ever went there. They try to use intimidation so much than they try to add unknown things on the financing. The finance guy didn't even go over the interest rate with me on the final review, what kind of shady business is this. Please never go to Thorobred Chevrolet. Horrible experience.
