Yukonquestion is what type of vehicle because for some the 2012 is near the end of its expected life and for others it is just getting broken in at 75K

Yukon
Both at regular intervals, clear carfaxAlso, need to know service history of each vehicle to make an educated choice.
Also assuming the condition is the same? Be seems like way too obvious of a choice. I'd wonder what the owner knows is wrong with it.Assuming they’re both identical models and features and no other options will be considered, which vehicle would you buy?
a) a 2012 with 75,000 miles for $20,000
b) a 2014 with 45,000 miles for $25,000
I thought Mrs. Paul preferred fish sticks...I feel like B is the better choice also. Mrs Paul prefers the cheaper one based on price only.
2014 model year is in the window of those that have almost 100 percent failure rate on the AC. You may want to find out if it’s been replaced yet. It’s not cheap. Also there is a transmission issue that has to be fixed on too many of those model years. Might want to look into that as well.I feel like B is the better choice also.

I feel like low mileage is the way to go despite the cost increase (we can afford both).
Would love any other thoughts you guys have on build quality /reliability with these. My parents had several in the early 2000s and they were solid.
Probably in rehab again. Or jail. Or who knows where else he could be. But being off Twitter is probably exactly what he needs.Anyone check on Greggo? The Hammer hasn’t tweeted since March.

Being off other things might be even more advantageous.Probably in rehab again. Or jail. Or who knows where else he could be. But being off Twitter is probably exactly what he needs.
The 1st and 2nd gen Tahoes/Yukons (1992-2006) were beasts. Common issues with the 3rd gen models (2007-2014) have been stated above. The big one was the switch to the 6spd transmission (6L80) from the older 4spd (4L60). Have seen the 6spds fail at an alarming rate. My recollection is that there's a design flaw where some internal part literally rubs on the trans housing and wears itself out over time.I feel like B is the better choice also.

Starting to think I should avoid them or maybe pony up for the next generation.The 1st and 2nd gen Tahoes/Yukons (1992-2006) were beasts.

Well the good news is, when they DO fail, just about every competent mechanic knows how to fix it and use improved parts that won't fail again. Also, the 5.3 and 6.0/6.2 motors are pretty much rock solid.Starting to think I should avoid them or maybe pony up for the next generation.
Next question: would you buy a 2012 Denali with 75,000 miles for $20k or a 2015(new body design) with less upgrades and 85,000 miles for $27k?
I’d buy a Ford so that way you’re not buying a piece of ship
I’m just busting balls about GM because I drive an F-150.Only way I'd suggest getting an Expedition is if it's 2015 or newer with the EcoBoost. My wife had a 2012 Expedition and that thing sucked (5.4L V8 version). I ended up discovering that engine was awful... almost always had problems before 100K miles, apparently. Terrible gas mileage as well. Wife now has a 2018 Yukon and that 6.0L is so much better

I do like those new Expeditions though, they look sharp.
