Count on it. You will be able to buy some good used vehicled and a decent price. For the most part the rental companies take good care of their fleet and most of these Tahoes come nicely equipped. The used units lower prices will also put some pressure on the brand new vehicle prices.
Monthly payment in $250???

Not a good deal. Way to much down payment. And even if you just drive the "normal" 12K miles a year you will be into the mileage penalty at the end of the lease.

Anytime you don't put down $5300 on a lease you are doing better. Just watch out that they don't get in your wallet again with excess mileage charges since you said you are only allowed 12K miles per year.
Additionally, anyone know if the 08 Tahoes & Yukons will offer the 6.2L engine w/the 6 speed transmission that's in the Yukon Denali? I liked that transmission, much smoother ride, but don't want the leather seats & 2nd row captains chairs that are std in the Denali.
Thanks!

Wife & I decided to go test drive a black one just to make sure it is the vehicle what we want - then if a color we liked up we could jump on it.
As we are walking the lot we find a White Tahoe - with the exact options we want - way in the back of the lot - the inspection sticker expires November 08 -which means it was put on in November of 06 - At first I though it was used - but it still has the MSRP sticker sheet on the window.
I ask a sales guy about it and he checked inventory - and said that I must be mistaken - they do not show any such vehicle.
We drove a black Tahoe - loved the vehicle but wanted the white - so we walked back with the sales guy and he wrote down some info - then did some checking -
It was a dealer trade from 240 miles away - the odometer has 242 miles - it has been sitting in the back of the lot since NOVEMBER 2006. The battery was dead.
MRSP $47,890 - I am thinking of offering $38,500 - maybe go up to $39K if I need to.
Anyone have a concern about buying a new vehicle that has been sitting for 8 months?

Shouldn't be a problem. Just make sure your dealer checks out the entire vehicle just as if it was a used trade-in and they were going to qualify it for their "certified" program. Since you will be the first registered owner GM considers the vehicle to be "new" and the full warranty will apply.
LT3, Z71, Nav, 2 passenger 3rd row, rear camera & rack cross beams
MSRP $47,870
Purchase price $37,190.63
Taxes $2,456.07
Title license & state inspection $115.55
Doc fee $50
Total out the door $39,812.25 - I am happy
This truck was a trade from a dealership in Dallas to Houston - it was put on a back lot at the Houston dealership - they did not even know it was there for the last 7 months (I discovered it!) - not on their computer inventory was the excuse - the battery was 3/4 dead - had to jump start it.
This was not an easy deal - My first offer was $39,500 out the door - dealer wanted $43,870 plus TT&L (about $46,600).
Even though it is still considered new - for warranty - I felt a deep discount was in order - because its really a 9 month old vehicle (built 11/06). Still a little concerned about it sitting around so long - I hope the price I got makes up for this.
The best part - wife and I went to Edmunds and picked the options we wanted - then decided on the color - white with ebony & titanium - this truck was EXACTLY what we had picked - that is a first.
BTW - sold my trade (2001 Tahoe 2wd) to CarMax - they paid me $12K - Toyota figured my trade was worth $7,500 - Chevy dealer $8,000 - this was even after I showed them the CarMax quote - I would give CarMax an A+ - very easy to deal with.
08 Tahoes are already starting to appear on the lots, and they've got to start clearing out the 07s.
Thanks!
I can't say for sure, but I imagince once Chevy broadens their incentives they will apply to more vehicles. For instance, right now (pre Labor Day) Chevy is only offering 0%/5 years on Silverados. Hopefully they will widen those incentives to other models soon. I saw that Ford is now offering 0%/6 years on just about everything, including Expeditions, so I figure Chevy will follow suit with across-the-board incentives soon. We should know more 9/5 or shortly thereafter, because all current incentives expire 9/4.

The longer you wait the better deal you will get.....but don't wait until all the '07s are sold. Find a dealer you want to work with and find out how many new 07's they have in stock. That should give you some idea of when you should get serious about buying.
I have never bought my own car I have been driving a Blazer since '99, so I am a little out of touch with the ins and outs of not getting taken to the cleaners by dealers.
Any info/tips would be greatly appreciated.
:confuse:
GM certified (increases bumper-bumper warranty to 39k)
24,000 miles
Interior is spotless.
Local trade to the dealer.
Some of our goodies...
black leather
bench 2nd row (didn't want the 2nd row captains, my son sits in middle)
heated seats both rows
sunroof
bose/ 6 disc changer
power pedals
rear park assist
power liftgate/ glass
remote start
dual climate
side air bags, all rows
etc...
Dealer was asking $31,900 and we paid $30,000. We thought this was a great deal for the exact truck we were looking for. (The truck had been on the lot only 2 weeks)
We were very specific when looking for this vehicle, with what we wanted (black leather, bench seat) and what we didn't (3rd row, would end up in garage).
Truck rides like a dream and is averaging 18 mpg with stop-and-go and interstate travel.
Only additions we may make are a dvd player (I'm having trouble with this due to the sunroof) and maybe 20's.
Took us all summer, but very happy we found it, the extra goodies were just a bonus to us, and have been fun to use
Love this truck!

According to my sales rep, the current incentives can change at any time. So even though this has been announced thru 10/1, it could change to something more attractive any time between now & 10/1. I guess it could change to something less attractive too, but that wouldn't make much sense LOL.

Leather seats
DVD and Navigation pkg.
sunroof
power assist running baords
Asking was 56k, but i got them down to $100 over invoice, plus it's an aged unit, meaning GM is offering $3k for that, plus the $2k on the rebate. Ballpark $42-43k for it....good deal or wait to see if financing changes at the end of the month? Alot of people are saying the Tahoes are leaving the lots, so GM is not going to drop the rates.
And would it be better to wait on the 08's??
Any feedback would be great, before i spent that kinda money.

This is a dealer demo, supposedly driven by a manager back & forth to work. It's never been titled. So if it's been in an accident, I'm guessing no one would have had to report that, right? Anyway to be sure it's not been in an accident?
And lastly, what do you think is a reasonable price for this? I don't know how to figure out the invoice price. If I ask the dealer, they'll probably just show me a fake invoice. I'm guessing they keep those on file for just that purpose. Plus there's holdbacks & incentives to consider for the dealer. I see this as essentially a used 1 year old vehicle w/6000m. I'm thinking $28-29K. Thoughts? It's only an LT1, so it doesn't have a ton of bells & whistles, but that's cool w/me.
Sorry for the dumb question LOL.
Bummer.
Edmunds MSRP 44K
Emunds Dealer Invoice $40,029
Edmunds TMV $ 40,917
Minus 2k Customer rebate $38,917 w/o Title and Tax etc
Did I just hear there is an additional 1K in consumer rebate available? I dont know how long its been on the lot so not sure if I can get any manf to Dealer 3K incentive.
What is realistic price to pay? Should it be 5% over dealer invoice after deducting the 3K for aged vehicle(assuming its available) and the after deducting the 3% dealer hold back. This is confusing could use some help.
If so 40K - 4300 (Aged and Hold back) = True dealer invoice of $ 35,700 + 5% dealer profit = My price should be $37,485 + TTL ?
Walk in and offer 37485 OTD - if they dont take it walk.. They will call you back.
Looks like you are getting a nice tahoe for 7k under msrp.
Maybe even go into another dealer, get a business card, write a number down on it and go to the dealer in question, stating you received the following price on the back of the business card from a competing dealer. A bit of a snake move but wth - and hopefully the nonsense going on with GM further fuels deals.
Saw the following posted in another thread:
Kickingtires.net reports that GM has 67 days of inventory left at its current rate of sales.
Does anyone know if this incentive is still valid? Is there anywhere else to check besides edmunds or can i call Chevy directly?
I hope I didn't miss out on this nice additional 3K
I'm a first time car buyer and I've decided that I am dead set on getting one of these Tahoes (after lots of saving).
Really the only specification that I want is leather seats and a black vehicle. I have had a dealer tell me that it would be "cheaper" for me to get an LS (vs. LT) and have them install the leather for me. Is this a good idea?
I'm in Houston and there seems to be a ton of tahoes at every dealer I go to. It seems to be a good time to buy considering the 08's are here and inventories appear to be high....Any feedback for a first time buyer is greatly appreciated....My head is already starting to spin and I've only been to a couple of dealers....brian
