Default Questions on buying used Denali Sierra?

I am selling my C6 this week by the looks of it and am looking into getting a used Denali Truck.

I have a couple local choices to me that i'm gonna look into.


I was looking at the 12 with all options except rear slider and no rear DVD
it has 34k on it for 33,900 at a ford dealer close to 3 hours away.

or a 2010
69xxx miles asking price of 28,500 all options except sunroof. Loaded besides that. It's at a GMC dealer close to a hour away.


Would anyone here be afraid of picking up one of these trucks with 69k on it?

Anything to look out for? Only reason i ask is if i can get the one with 69k for 26-27k it would leave me the kind of money left over from my c6 i would be happy with.
I've owned a 2004 5.3 sierra/2004 5.7 Gto/2009 6.0 G8/2008 6.2 C6 so i know my way around the motor and trans on these things but just wondering if there is anything thats common on these trucks or things to look out for?

I will say from the pictures the 2010 looks to be clean and i bet a older guy owned it and didn't use it that much as a truck.

It has one of those bed rugs for the entire bed so i bet it was parked inside and not used hard judging off that. Also it's a one owner local trade in






Here is the 2012







Both are Tan interior.

I'd personally go with the 2010. Save a little money and basically get just as nice of a truck as the 2012.

That 2010 looks like it was very well taken care of

That's kinda what i was thinking if it's as clean as it looks in the pictures.

Sucks it has no sunroof but does have the Rear slider and Rear DVD package and running boards unlike the 2012.

I would also get the '10 and save some mod money .

Miles are nothing on a 99 -up LSx truck , the more miles the more you save , they run for ever . 60some thousand miles isn't anything , and as long as the owner took care of maintainence and interior/exterior is clean I wouldn't have any second thoughts .

No probs just smiles so far with my Denali .

Also there is a recall for the throttle position sensor on 08-up GM V8 trucks/SUV so make sure they change it out for you .
