car shopping doesn’t normally stress me out much. It’s actually kind of fun to bring a new one home for me. This time it was stressful; just because I’d see something I was interested in only to find out it was already gone. The sales manager at the Ford dealer selling the Denali has been working with me directly on getting it purchased. She told me right now that 4-6 days on the lot is average for each used car they bring in. She said last month they set the all time record for monthly sales for that Ford dealer. Crazy stuff.

I was after a suburban or Yukon xl as I’ve got two little kids and one on the way with one more planned in the future. For now I’ve really been getting less and less enthused at the money it takes to get into a decent suburban. 40K will barley get you in door of something semi nice right now. I think We’ll drive this one around for a few years and then look back into suburbans at that time. I was able to get into this Denali in the mid 20’s which is still pricey for how old it is(2011 with 67,000 miles) but it’s in excellent condition inside and out, so I think we’ll be ok on it. I foresee a lot of people being WAY WAY upside on there loans in the coming years because of the inflated prices right now.
