Very tempting however I can’t get over the $80k plus high interest rates, kills it for me. The Tahoe is very nice tho!

That's my problem too. I don't really want to spend $80K plus. That's why this was SO tempting. $85K list, loaded, a few months old, 9K miles and they were asking $75K. Probably shoulda bought it. Sadly, it's gone!

With only $14k left on the loan and only 44k miles, I would keep it. Any repairs you have from here on out would be way less than $80k. Toyotas have a great reputation but that's no guarantee of 100% reliability. Maybe once you reach 100,000 miles, think about a new vehicle. Ha, of course by then the way things are going a new one might cost $100,000.

We are in the exact same predicament. We too are disappointed in the ride quality . 2019 limited. Got 100,000 miles. Have done engine transmission and electrical repairs all under extended warranty. But now that extended warranty is up and we're scared of it. I was thinking about trading it for a grand Highlander hybrid. But hate to give up the towing capacity. On a positive note, we got 100,000 mi on the hankook dyna pro and I think they still got at least 5,000 mi left on them!

If you put on a new set of Michelin's your ride quality would be greatly improved. 100,000 miles on Hankooks...wow.

Most on highways, I guess.

I’d ditch those. Have to be getting hard due to age. These hankrooks are worst tire I can remember having. Flat spot overnight, spooky feel in rain. Pick up and carry each and every small stone imaginable.

Unfortunately I got an unrepairable flat last year while on vacation. With only 22k miles on mine, the best decision based on local availability of tires was a new hankrook at a dealer. It went on the front and I could feel less vibration in the steering wheel. I’ve been feeling the slight vibrations getting worse as the tires age. I just can’t justify changing them all just yet. But I eagerly await the day.

My Local Cadillac/GMC store called me. They just took in a 2023 Tahoe High Country on trade with 9K miles. Lady wanted a diesel and a yukon for her travelling. It's beautiful, literally brand new, and about $10K below what a new one would be. Soooo tempting.

New ones are selling for 10k below msrp today. Wait till October and that discount will be bigger. Currently there is 2 years of new inventory sitting n lots

I only made it 12,000 miles on those tires. Horrific wet pavement performance and straight up unacceptable snow performance. BFG trail Terrain literally transformed it into a whole different vehicle. Better ride, massively improved wet performance and could ho places in snow 2w drive the Hankooks couldn’t go in 4lo.

I don't know where you live or where you're shopping, but what I see for Tahoe's and Yukon's in AZ and surrounding areas is full list. Some stores in NM are list plus. A couple of stores in near PHX are discounting around $2000 off on Tahoe's. Tell me where new ones are $10K off please.
