The Yukon XL is GMC's version of the Chevy Suburban. It's a wellequipped vehicle and a good choice for families of six or more. The Yukon XL offers comfortable seating for six people and can be equipped to seat up to nine. It's a good choice for families who find themselves needing three rows of seats on a daily basis. Even when fully loaded with people, there's space left over for large amounts of gear. Where the Yukon XL really comes into its own, however, is when heavyduty towing is needed. A standard Yukon XL 2WD 1500 model is rated to tow trailers of up to 8,400 pounds. A Yukon XL 2500, the heavyduty model, is rated to pull a 12,000pound trailer. This makes the Yukon XL an excellent choice for families with boats or horses. Though identical in many respects, there are differences between the Suburban and the Yukon XL. The GMC is generally more upscale in its appointments than the Chevrolet; the Yukon XL offers a higher level of comfort and convenience features than the Suburban. The Yukon XL Denali is an upscale model that combines a big 6.0liter V8 with an allwheeldrive system, a combination not available at your Chevy dealer. Styling cues distinguish the GMC from the Chevrolet. Revisions for 2003 brought improved brakes, smarter airbags, a modernized electrical system, and improved interior features. For 2004, the Yukon XL is better and safer still. It comes with a tirepressure monitor and a seatbelt reminder for the driver and frontseat passenger. New Hydroboost brakes promise improved stopping power, even if the engine stalls.
Purchasing an older vehicle, such as the 2004 GMC Yukon XL 1500, makes good financial sense. You're able to avoid the steep depreciation rates that occur with brand new vehicles. This essentially gives you the advantage of getting a 2004 GMC Yukon XL 1500 for less money than when it was new. If the 2004 GMC Yukon XL 1500 was properly maintained, you also have a good chance of steering clear of problems that would have developed when the car was new.
The amount you pay for an older car depends on various factors. One important element is where you buy the vehicle. You're likely to get a better deal if you buy it from a private party, as opposed to a dealer. On the other hand, a reputable dealer will normally have some kind of limited warranty, so you can drive away knowing that if the car breaks down right away, you'll be covered. Another factor that may affect price on a 2004 GMC Yukon XL 1500 is whether it's "certified" by the manufacturer. A certified vehicle will cost more because warranty service is provided that normally doesn't come with a used car.
Another dynamic that will play into the purchase price is the resale value. A used vehicle with a high resale value will obviously cost you more. It is expected that the 2004 GMC Yukon XL 1500 will have a very good resale value. This assumes that the 2004 GMC Yukon XL 1500 is in good condition and has a reasonable number of miles.
