Sad Story - I Traded My '08 Tahoe for '12 MKX!
Did you ever make a stupid mistake and wish you could take it back? Well, I made a doozie! Last December (2011) I traded my perfectly good '08 Z71 Tahoe for a stupid 2012 Lincoln MKX! Man was I ever dumb!
I desperately need to get back into a Tahoe and to heck with the gas mileage! The Lincoln MKX is just too small for me and my Grandkids.
Looks like I need to put the '12 Lincoln MKX up for sale myself cause I know I can't get enough out of it as a trade-in.
I've looked at the USAA Buying Service and they have a price on a 2013 LTZ Tahoe for around $51K which I would gladly pay if I could sell my MKX for a decent price.
Anyone else heard of any good deals on 2013 Tahoe? I'd even consider a new 2012 just to get back to a good old Tahoe!

Thanks for the response but, a Suburban is out of the question and I certainly won't settle for a 2010. I need something new and it's got to be a Tahoe. I'm in San Antonio, TX by the way.

Whoa! How can you say something like that on a Chevy Forum? 
I test drove a 2012 Expedition and wasn't impressed. The iinstrumentation was a bunch of tiny squares that were hard to see in the daytime. The navigation window was smaller than my cell phone screen!! I owned a 2002 Expedition and enjoyed it, but sadly they have changed. Also, the nav. software in all Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles (is it still around) does not work. It doesn't work at all in my MKX, well maybe a little.
Nope, I want to get back into a Tahoe, preferably an LTZ, but I'd take an LT with the Z71 package!

Guardian, thank you for considering another Tahoe! We're just a PM away if you have any questions while you search.

I am looking at a 2012 LTZ with Nav, rear entertainment, 20" wheels, heated and cooled front bucket seats. It has 2000 miles on it since it was used as a loaner by the dealer. He wants $49,013 not including a USAA $750 discount.
Any opinions on this deal?

I would ask to see any service records they have for it, not just a carfax...
I would make sure your B2B warranty and all other factory ones start at what ever mileage YOU purchase it at, meaning if your tranny goes out at 100300 miles you still have 1700 to go on the warranty...
I would start with about 15-19% off of the sticker to get in a area of what the minimum they will take is.... I got almost 10k off my 07 at this same time in 07, so this late in the year, you should be seeing a pretty deep discount of $10-14k off sticker. They want the 12's off so the 13's have room to show...
