It hs brand new Yokohama tires and really nice aluminum alloy wheels and new brakes. The paint, engine and interior are stunning based on the pics. My only concern is it has 99,650 miles. They are asking $24,500. So I'm thinking its clearly been cared for and with that 6.2 litre Vortec engine the mileage isn't really that considerable. Any thoughts???
You should know that the 2007 model has the same LQ4 6.0 as the 2005 & 2006 .... 325hp/365t. The L92 Vortec 6.2L V8 VVT did not appear until the 2008 model year with the beefier 6L80E 6-speed ... 393hp/412t.

24.5k for a clean 07 with that mileage sounds like a good deal to me

You know everyone seems to down KBB.com for not being very accurate. But I have to say, as soon as I found out exactly what options that came with the H2's, just clearly picked every option expecting to have and clicked to see what I should be paying. Then kept on looking twice a day though the internet and found the SUT I wanted. Everyone has their way of doing things, but if you want to be logical about your purchase then I would suggest to do something similar so you do not waist your time going places.

I have never been a fan of KBB. It favors dealers way too much ... I have always been of the opinion that KBB was published by car dealers for car dealers, but I am sure that is not true. KBB is way high on retail values and way low on trade-in values in my opinion.
Personally, I prefer researching market asking prices and using NADA. I have always stayed as close as possible to "clean" trade-in on my purchases. NADA has it's problems as well though. They don't publish the special editions as an option which do have inherent worth ... my Ultra Marine Edition and my previous Victory Red Edition for examples. Also note that clean trade-in values are NOT what a dealer will give you ... on NADA, one can figure "rough" trade-in is what a dealer will give if the trade is clean. It tracks Black Book pretty closely which is what most dealers go by for trades.
Know that, if KBB works for you, that's all that counts.

I have never tried NADA. Thanks for the FYI for future purchases. Probably been ripped off this whole time, but oh well, I am happy with what I got.
