You price out a Denali lately.

Mid 70's

Starting...

Just looking at Fox Valley Buick GMC

2017 Yukon Denali = $77,050
2017 Yukon Denali XL = $79,520

I've seen them well into the 80's and pushing 90's, then you start getting into Escalade territory.

holy inflation?

 

[bikrboy128]

80k starting, worth maybe 30k in 3 years.

 

[CMNTMXR57]

I've seen Escalade's around $105k.

I love 'em, but those prices, I don't get it. How are people affording these things... They're all over the place out here.

same way people afford multi million dollar homes, & yachts.

big money.

id bet a significant amount of these are just paid for with checks

GM suv's are holding their value much better than they used to- probably becuase they are making 1/4 to 1/3 that they did in the early to mid 2000's

This. I was hoping I could get an 09+ LTZ Tahoe in the low-mid teens by this point... Nope, still $20,000 with decent miles.

Not everyone makes 100k a year or less


I worked for cadillac for 4 years. One of our salesmen always told us what each client did for a living and what they made. Plenty in the 300k+ range. Not to mention we got a lot of multi millionaires as well. $100k SUV is pocket change. They don't ALL feel the need to drive bentleys or lamborghinis.

 

[CMNTMXR57]

It isn't just the Caddy's though. The Dealership I used to work at has a couple Suburban's in "Premier" package that are pushing $80k if not more. And that's a Chevy, not a higher target demo like a Cadillac. People strolling into Chevy dealerships to buy Aveo's/Sonic's/whatever their name is this model year, and Cruze's surely don't make anywhere near what someone strolling into a Caddy dealership does... Statistically speaking. I'm sure a few do and chose to be "frugal," but still...

I make a very healthy living and when you factor in my Wife's income, I am pretty certain we're fairly well off but I wouldn't dream of going out and plunking that kinda of coin on a new one. I'll wait 3-4 years...

Hell I know a lot of guys that make 90-150k/yr that have Sonics, cruzes, sparks etc. They have expensive vehicles at home and just let these get the sit kicked out of them.

 

[CMNTMXR57]

Hey, I'm with them... My Daily's are an 18 y/o Suburban and a 10 year old mini-van.

Let them get the shit kicked out of them.

 

[Spivitz]

Lot of coin new, best to buy used with about 11,000 on the dial.
At least that's how I roll.

 

[Outlaw]

I don't disagree whatsoever. When they were doing some rebates on the Sparks that got them down to like $9,900 brand new like six guys that work with my friend at Meade all bought them as commuter cars because their trucks were killing them on fuel.

 

[Spivitz]

Still though, classy ride... Needs more power for $80,000 imo
