You can look at KBB.com (Kelly Blue Book) and other used car pricing sites and see for yourself the difference certain packages/options add to the trade-in value. IIRC correctly, some options on certain models add to the value. But I wouldn't base getting a certain option on how much it would add to the trade-in value; I would base it on whether I would like the option and how much use/function I can get out of it. It's like "if I buy this option for $100, I can add $25 to the trade in value 4 years from now even though having the option doesn't matter much else to me." Well, you might as well piss away $75 today and come out even. Or even ahead, as you won't have to pay for repairs if the option conks out on you. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||

I just talked to the sales guy (I've worked with him for years, so maybe kind of honest). He said they don't even look at wheels on a trade. He also said they discourage buyers from ordering the Ultimate package because of the retractable steps. They've been trouble in MN winters. | |||

Interesting. But like I said, you can turn them off. You get a lot more than just the retractable steps on the Ultimate Package. And it's more expensive to piecemeal the options you do want on instead if you forego the Ultimate. Where I live, winters are mild so it's not a concern. The retractable steps are really cool ... and they're fully lit underneath. So at night, when they retract, the ground is lit the full length of the vehicle. _______________ Mind. Over. Matter. | |||

Sure it will hurt resale, but not nearly as much as the options he doesn't want will cost him in the first place. Have a dealer locate a vehicle exactly the way you want it and have it shipped in. Most dealers hate doing this, but will if you press them......The options on resale may add 30% of what they cost new. | |||

I've been working on that today. NOT ONE Denali with a second row 60/40 bench within 400 miles. I guess the soccer moms need the walk through buckets to get car seats in the third row. | |||

It’s not a wife. They’ll make more. Don’t believe the BS. Find the right dealer, order exactly what you want and still pay same % of invoice cost. Only requires patience, a little work and perhaps some travel to pick up. They want to sell what they have, but a high volume dealer will configure to your specs, order for you. If you’re so anxious this has become an impulse purchase you can’t wait, disregard. For that coin, I’ll have what I want. You only have integrity once. - imprezaguy02 | |||

If you doing a lot of research go over to tahoeyukon forum. Also, the folks that seem to always have the best pricing is Laurabuickgmc. | |||

It's most likely that they start started building the 2018's a few months ago and haven't run the line with 2nd row bench seats yet, so there are NONE of them built yet. | |||

I suppose that's possible, but from what I've read the bucket vs 60/40 is a direct replacement. I think it's an option that is added as the vehicle comes down the line rather than having to set up for a run of them. | |||

A lady driving one got stuck between ice covered hills last week. I pulled her up it in my Dodge Ram. Hers was a full time AWD model. Her problem was that the front wheels wouldn't start helping untill the rear wheels were already spinning, and by then the rear had already slid around, and she was sideways in the road. If there's an option, get a 4wd transfer case over AWD. | |||

^^^^^^^ They have a traditional 2-4hi-4low dash switch with locking rear differential. | |||

Indeed. Very nice. I picked up a High Country Silverado in that color a few months ago. I had had black or metallic dark gray vehicles for many years until this one. I like it a lot- it's a nice change. ____________ Μολὼν Λαβέ 01 03 04 14 16 18 | |||

When I got my last truck I was looking at removing some of the options i.e. sunroof. The sales guy told me packages are a regional thing. This truck in this area has a sunroof. If I deleted this option it would be noticed by the next buyer. Last year I had the bug for another truck. I saw a used Dodge Ram limited with all the options I wanted. However I noticed this truck had a leather bench seat and didnt have the front parking sensors. Its very rare for anything around here to have a bench seat other than a work model. That truck sat on the dealer lot for a few months. | |||

I have been looking at Yukon’s and wanting one for years...from what I have seen dealers really don’t order ones with bench seats in the Denali version... I think they don’t sell as well and dealers just don’t order them very often. Last one I saw online was a 2017 left over at Dave Smith motors. The Yukon’s are no longer AWD that ended in 2014. | |||

Are you asking how much trade-in you can get for you existing vehicle ? Go to a CARMAX and see how much they will buy your vehicle. If you like the price they offer, sell it to them. If not then you have a very good idea of how much you can get for it. I hope this helps. God Bless  "Always legally conceal carry.

No. I was trying to figure out the future return on options that might be on a vehicle on the lot. I plugged in my current Yukon on Carfax and saw a value. Not sure if that's an estimate or how it proceeds to an offer to buy. | |||
