sell the tahoe yourself then, trade-in prices are typically complete shit...although I know nothing about what you have so I can't say much about its value

The car I got rid of a month ago: Dealer first offer = $2k, Dealer 2nd offer = $3k, Carmax offer = $3k, sold to a private party for $5k.

Sell it yourself mang.

Selling a vehicle for $19k yourself and selling a vehicle for $5k yourself are two very different things.

what about selling on consignment, how much does that cost?
i know thats what we did for our pathfinder back in the day ($27k)

try a different dealer, you'll be able to find a sales manager somewhere that'll deal

People don't want SUVs these days. I bet its value back in March was probably 22k or so.

I read somewhere that all the incentives that GM used to sell its trucks/SUV's have depressed resale values.

^ All the big manufacturers did that one way or another. You "thought" you were getting a deal, but now look what you're stuck with.

in order to get the friends and family incentive which is about 5k before rebates i have to do it by NOV 30. thats why i havent sold it my self. i am not a total idiot. damn gm. i bought it used right before the first employee pricing. anyone buying a new car should beware that they will never not be upside down.
