How Much Should I Pay: 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe
Question: Hi. I’m looking to buy a new or used car. A Chevy Tahoe is currently on my short list.
Year: 2008
Make: Chevrolet
Model: LT 4WD
Trim: LTZ Package, Sun Entertainment & Destinations Package
Mileage: New
Buying or Selling: Buying
Private Party or Dealership: Dealership
Zip Code: 93611 (Clovis/Fresno, CA area)
A local dealership gave me quote of $41,999 plus tax, tags, and license fees. This is after Chevy’s current $6,000 rebate.
I’m also looking for a similar used Tahoe (2007 or 2008) with less than 20k miles. The same dealership has a 2007 LTZ with ~9,000 miles with a sticker price of $39,000.
Thanks in advance for any help!

What are all these blue links for? The first blue link breaks down the numbers so that you don’t have to do any math or researching. You’ll see exactly how much money you’re saving if you pay the “Internet Price”. It also lists the National Average Discount, the National Maximum Discount and the National Average Price for each vehicle. We also provide our personal opinion to whether we think the deal is good or not.
If we approve the deal, we’ll show a thumbs up and “Bring Your Checkbook“.
If we think the deal is ok, we’ll show a thumb tilted sideways and “Fair Market“.
If we disapprove the deal, we’ll show a thumbs down and “Keep Shopping“.
The second blue link is the proof you’ll need when you step foot onto the dealership. Don’t leave home without it! It’s the page that shows the price which you’ll be asking for. It’s basically what you need to pull up on their computers if they don’t believe you found that price online form that dealer’s inventory.
So now what? Print out all the blue links above and take them to your local dealerships. But before you go, we highly recommend you call and make an appointment to see the Internet Fleet Manager because he/she should know exactly what you’re talking about. Avoid the floor salesmen, head straight to the Internet Sales Manager.
If they don’t believe your prices, ask to use one of their computers so they can see where these figures came from. It’ll be impossible for them to doubt you because you’re pulling up dealership’s website and checking their inventory. Remember, cars are a commodity so these prices apply everywhere in the U.S. If you want to research more new car prices, poke around on www.AutoBrag.com.
For a 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe 4WD 5.3L LTZ with 9,000 miles, prices range from $31,800 (being in above average condition) to $29,100 (being in average condition) and $26,400 (being in below average condition). Keep in mind that the numbers above are the wholesale prices. A dealership will usually aim to sell it for +12%-14% more than wholesale, so their estimated retail prices could range from $28.8k to $34.6k. $39k asking price? What a rip off. The scary thing is that some folks will buy the car thinking it’s a steal.
