My 07 LT3 was brand new with almost every option (plus 20' polished wheels) aside from dvd and navigation. My final sales price was $31,800. I would start negotiations at $28,000 and go as high as 32,000.
This vehicle is not certified. How important is that having the GM certification. At this time I've only spoken with the salesman over the phone and he said that to cerify this it would bring the vehicle up about 2K.
Also, as always being an owner of foreign made cars, how concerned should one be with 29K miles and only a year or so old????
Could someone please post a fair price I should be getting this vehicle for. I don't have a clue at this time. Thank you so very much.
Heather..
Brand new with no miles I would want a sales price of 33,000 for that vehicle and that's only if it comes with dvd and navigation..
Throw in the fact that its got a ton of miles and I would want a sales price in the low to mid 20's.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the sticker price on these was somwhere between $47K - $51, brand new. How would one buy new, with no miles for $33,000????
My tahoe had 14 miles on it.
I must say I'm surprised at how much people are getting off of MSRP on some of these new vehicle purchases. Having bought from the likes of Nissan and Volkswagen the last two times around it's like pulling teeth to get those guys to come down. But with these Tahoes it seems like people are getting $10k off the MSRP no sweat.
i have received my best pricing by mere phone calls explaining what i want and what i don't. they have found them on line at the smart auction, send pics, and know there is less of the guessing game. should there be a different approach? if so how. and how much do they actually have on average as profit. i didn't think there was that much room for them to move.
i have seen a number of tahoes in TX at what seems to be a better price than here in south west MI. how much does location play in pricing?
thanks for the feedback.
I sure would like to take advantage of some of the offers right now but just don't have the where-with-all to do so. Come Feb/Mar, I certainly will be buying then.
Thanks.

You better ask yourself why a vehicle with just 7,000 miles has a new paint job. And I doubt that Bermuda Blue is the most popular color choice for an '07 Tahoe when it comes to resale time.
The $20,000 vehicle was likely in one of the first two categories - sign up for Carfax and check the VIN to get a better idea, but slick dealers can camouflage anything.
If the $26,500 price was from a dealer, you can expect other charges to be added on at time of purchase (like advertising fees, high documentation fees, etc.) That price indicates no 3rd seat - which reduces resale value by $1000 and are hard for dealers to sell - further reducing ultimate trade in value.
Just some things to think about from someone who has purchased a lot of new Tahoes and Yukons over the past several years. BTW - my choice would be 4.8L base Yukon with standard 3.23 rear axle and 3rd seat and light color (silver birch or light tan.) You should get minimum 17-19 mpg city with this combo if you drive carefully, and all of the other options you might add won't be worth much come trade in time. Look up Edmunds TMV to get real trade in values to verify this.

$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.
___________________________________________________________________
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.

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.
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.
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.
I'm in Minnesota and am trying to land a 2007 Tahoe LTZ with navi, rear DVD, moonroof, and power retractable assist steps. Anyone in the midwest have experience with this beast? The MSRP is $54185 and has been on the lot for 230+ days, and the best I've gotten so far is $48850. Not good enough for me. I've been reading all of your threads, and after hearing all the money off that everyone got, I'm convinced that I missed my opportunity in December and the dealer is crazy for hanging on to this aging pup. Anyone care to chime in on my assessment?
Also, what is the deal with dealers now quoting and showing people invoice prices that are consistently $1000 above any of the stuff on the internet including edmunds?

Tahoe pricing
Check off the options, enter the color, mileage and zip and bingo you got a price.
23K miles is a bit high for one year old.
Then 2009 order banks should be open in May-June (information on them will be out next month), and 2009 production starts:
-Janesville, WI (Tahoe, Yukon, Denali, Suburban, Yukon XL, Denali XL): July 21
-Arlington, TX (Yukon XL, Tahoe, Yukon, Escalade, Escalade ESV): June 23
-Silao, Mexico (Suburban, Avalanche, Escalade EXT): July 14
In 2005 I bought a new Tahoe that had a total price of $42400.00. The same dealership including the same internet salesman as of now gave it to me for $32900.00. I thought that was a good deal. I bought that 2005 in May. Does that matter or not. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Shawn
Anyway, I was going to wait until early April to order it; but it looks like I better put in the order in March if I want it built as an '08 model.
Anyone know how long extra it takes if you order a special paint code?
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.
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.
