* Shift lever - if you have buckets, why not put it on the floor?
* (I can only assume) no laser cut keys
* (I also assume) no auto up/down windows on all four doors
* No standard side airbags
* Ugly, wart-like black OnStar/XM antenna
GM Buypower will let search dealers for an '07 Denali but I'm not having any luck in my area.
It also looks like Current Offers for the '07 Denali are:
"$5,000 cash back-or- As low as 0.0% APR for qualified buyers."
Goood luck,
Token
and edmunds the 07's only have 3.9% financing available.
the cash back is for the 06's.
Thanks
Anyways, my main question is did you get the navigation system in yours and if so, does it have a 6-cd changer in it? I was told that most likely there wouldn't be a 6-cd changer in the Denali if it is ordered with the navigation system.
Thanks
Dealers in St. Louis are expecting them this week but I have only got one to give me a quote via email. This quote was $51,200-- $3,500 off MSRP of $54,700.
Can anyone share their pricing experience so I know how much to negotiate?
Thanks in advance.
You can buy the chrome GMC for the grill for about $65.00. Dealer charged me another $55 to put it on (probably ripped me off)
probably because of all XM radio and nav cd that goes behind nav screen . the previous denali had cds below radio ,not lie current set up . kind astinks , but i still love the denali and its ride
Been looking at the Yukons and Denalis and have just about decided to go Black on black Denali. Have driven them and they are SWEET! The 6.2 and the 6 speed are awesome.
i gave it a good bath yest and put on splashguards and did not notice any problems . milage has been arount 14-15 so far daily driving .
contact your dealer and they should have a regional rep that can come out and check yours out . good luck .
i liked the old information system better than the new 2007 info also
That reminded me of something I experienced--shortly (as in, less than a week) after I bought my '04 DXL I noticed an "issue" w/ it that IMHO needed prompt attention; called the service department to schedule an appointment to bring it it ASAP; after I explained to the service underwriter why I needed to bring it it, he told me that he wouldn't be able to have someone look at it right away because in his opinion, it wasn't serious enough to warrant such an immediate inspection. Needless to say, that didn't fly w/ me...so I emailed the GM of the dealership--mentioning in my message among other things that, if this is what GMC calls "Professional Grade", then they better re-examine some of their vehicles 'cuz they ain't living up to that phrase...shortly after doing so I received a call from the service manager asking me when can I bring my truck in.
Sometimes you just gotta strike the right nerve in order to get a response to your satisfaction...
I got a question for those who own one...does anyone else notice that the sound system doesn't really seem too good in it??? For me, it seems like mine just doesn't hit hard or anything. My previous car was an '03 explorer limited, and that thing's audio system sounded mean, it really hit hard.
On the main gmc webpage for the Denali, it says it comes equipped with a subwoofer...but yet I can't seem to hear it/locate it.
So does anyone else notice this or is it just me???
I really want to put in some HIDs....
you can also try removing the inner tire/wheel well piece. or try to remove the cheese grater grille.
please let me know how you end up gettin it changed. what brand of h13 bulb did you buy?
hope this helps a little.
Orange peel pretty much everywhere. Hinges seem to be covered but the engine compartment has primer everywhere as you describe and like the photos you posted.
There was another black Denali on the showroom floow with the same paint issues.
I'm not sure whether the rest of the color choices have the same issues and the Black just shows the imperfections more.
I have averaged 15mpg so far. My 4.0 6 cylinder 200hp Jeep Grand Cherokee only averages 15.5 mpg so I am VERY pleased with the economy so far.
I don't know whether to call the paint "outrageous" crap or "to be expected" and I'm interested to hear what others have to say.
Has anyone else had this problem???
I have a Yukon XL with Nav and entertainment system. My system behaves exactly as yours does. My monkeys (1.5, 6. and 9) have instantly adapted. They know they have to hit the red power button on the remote to get the rear screen to power back up. Although a bit irritating, this "feature" is helping me teach them about keeping track of their stuff; they know that if they can't find their remote, they can't watch the movie.
Have you gone to your dealer with the problem? Perhaps there is a fix available. If there isn't perhaps we can force one, if enough of us complain. Its on my list of things to bring up with the dealer on my next visit.
Is it possible to use the rear DVD player and Navigation system at the same time on the 07's or do they share the same player?
Thanks in advance,
Token
have fun.
DVD system. They work good. Did you have to do anything special to get the front DVD to work? I tired two different DVDs.
If you have any ideas, sent me a note to tdshapiro@carolina.rr.com
thanks
The Nav is nice, and I understand the idea of locking out some features when driving (I don't like it). But, the radio locks out the scroll bars when you drive too. It took me a while to figure out why the radio and XM would not show me "ALL" the stations when I was driving. They locked this out when you move... DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO SHUT THIS FEATURE OFF?
The very small dash compartment to the left of the steering wheel is about 3/8" too narrow to fit 99% of all cell phones. This would have been a nice space to store the phone. The truck is really missing storage spaces - I LOVE STORAGE SPOTS, WE NEED THEM. My 01 had a few, and the took them away this year - WHY? The even removed the two storage areas in rear wheel wells. They were really nice.
Carpet mats are very thin - half as thick as my last truck. I ordered a nice after market set - $300.
The 6 speed trans is smoother that the older 5 speed. But the truck seems a but sluggish compared to my 01. I find myself playing with the manual mode and leaving it in 4th or 5th in the city- otherwise it bogs for me... And for more fun, I leave the trailer mode - its more sporty. I do have a lead foot, that's why I picked the 385 HP SUV. The truck pulls hard and shifts smooth. You just have to push the pedal a lot more than the older 320 HP 5 speed. My wife likes the smoother 07 however...
I have not seen any of the paint issues I read about. But I will be looking harder for them tomorrow. Overall I love the truck, just a few things they could have improved...
Enjoy.
Enjoy it!
Thanks
