I had my heart set on a 2018 Tahoe Premier, but all of the lease numbers I am seeing are making me reconsider. Is this just a fact of the Premier being the top-of-the-line trim which normally doesn’t lease well? MSRP: $72085 Sale Price: $63215 MF: .00222 Residual: 54% DAS: $0 Terms: 39/12k M…

Low residual, high MF, and lack of rebates make it nearly impossible to get a good deal on a Tahoe in general (Premier doesn’t really make a difference). If you want a full-size SUV, consider buying a CPO Lexus LX570. They hold their value extremely well and nothing goes wrong with them.

LX570 is nice - but seems to be out of my price range in the $90-100k range. It’s frustrating that it’s difficult to get a good lease on a Tahoe. Guessing we are in the same boat with GMC Yukon as well?

The Yukon will be the same. I suggested a CPO LX. This is around $71k in my area

Ah - sorry, I missed the “CPO” part! I would really like to stick to leasing if possible. Any other suggestions for full sized SUV’s in the lease world?

Tahoes seem to be fairly bulletproof and simple/cheap to fix. I wouldn’t be scared of one used. But yeah, the residuals on these are absolutely terrible. This is typical of the top trim of any vehicle, it doesn’t really make any sense to lease unless it’s a unicorn deal. If you are set on leasing a…

Wow - the residuals on 2019 Infiniti QX80 looks too good to be true. 66% on a 36/10?

Is the Tahoe an RST? I leased a 2018 Tahoe RST MSRP 78,335 it included the performance breaks and the Borla exhaust. Long story short, i put down $1500 974.00 for 39 months. Not a great deal, but not horrible. This was back in May. By the way the truck has been in the shop 7 times for noise issues. …

Nah - it’s a Tahoe Premier line. Can you post more details about your deal?

You need to stick with the LT/SLT, wait for better incentives and get a good dealer discount. It’s possible to get a decent deal but will take some work and patience.

Yeah - my plan is to work on a GMC Yukon SLT lease instead of this Tahoe Premier. Missing some features I really want, but I think I should be able to get a slightly better deal on it.
