The GMC Yukon is GMC's full sized sport utility vehicle. Similar to the Chevrolet Suburban, the GMC is large, well-powered, and provides much cargo space.
The Yukon seats seven to nine passengers depending on seating options and is rated to tow as much as 7,700 to 8,100 pounds when properly equipped, enough to tow cars, boats and horses. The Yukon is powered by a standard 285-horsepower 4.8-liter V8. A 295-horsepower 5.3-liter V8 is optional. Four trim levels are available for the GMC Yukon: SLE, SLT, SLT Plus, and Denali, which boasts a 6.0-liter V-8 generating 380 horsepower equipped with a six-speed automatic. Available options include a premium Bose system, a floor console, and assist steps, power-adjustable pedals, XM Satellite Radio, StabiliTrak electronic stability control, and side-impact airbags.
Changes for 2006 are minimal.
Purchasing an older vehicle, such as the 2006 GMC Yukon, 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 2006 GMC Yukon for less money than when it was new. If the 2006 GMC Yukon 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 2006 GMC Yukon 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 2006 GMC Yukon will have a very good resale value. This assumes that the 2006 GMC Yukon is in good condition and has a reasonable number of miles.
