Buying a new truck to replace my beater

I know this is an Acura forum but I don't feel like joining the Envoy forum--

I need a slightly used truck to replace my 94 Blazer(FYI-not trading in). I have been looking at GMC Envoy XL Denali's (what a mouthfull). They seem to be a dime a dozen on all lots.

I found one that I really like-2006 with 20,770 miles, 8 cyl, sunroof, NO nav
Dealer asking $32 k

What would you guys offer and what would you expect to pay??

I am thinking about offering $25 k and slooooowly going to $26.5 k Am I in the ballpark? Thanks for your help

If they are asking 32 I don't see you getting down to 26k...

Also, I would rather have a Yukon Danali for that kind of money...Yout could find a 04 for what you want to pay @ 26...

6.0 motor, AWD, not to big, and comfortable

$26 may be a streatch, but you never know. It doesn't hurt to ask, and shop around a bit.

Also, you're probably going to get a lot more help in the Car Talk section.

That is what I would do. You can wheel and deal on those things big time right now.
What's the worst that could happen? He'll say no.....
and then negotiations begin...that is the fun part.
Just have a price say 26.5 in your head that you know you wont go above. And work 'em. I love going to buy new cars!
