GM Certified Vehicles- are they worth the money

Ok it looks like I am going to upgrade from my 2002 Chevy Surburban to a 2005 Gmc Youkon xl denali. Question is for $500 I can have the Denali certified. This basically means 12month/12k miles bumber to bumber warranty. 5yr/100,000 powertrain warranty (about 21 months remain with about 50k miles remaining- so i will run out of time before the miles). other stuff like road side service.
DO YOU THINK IT IS WORTH THE $500 OR NOT!
I am not going to be able to neg. this into the deal since I have a great price now as it is. It a matter of if I want the certification or not.
Any advice or folks that have taken this option would greatly help.

RE: Tow Vehicle Upgrade?

Thanks for all the help. Is there any difference between the AWD and 2WD as far as towing?

Tow Vehicle Upgrade?

I am considering trading my 02 Chevy Subruban for a 2005 GMC Yukon xl denali. my bur is 2wd with 5.3L and the denali is awd with the 6.0L. I guess the question is what difference should I expect and what kinda of gas mileage difference would there be. Currently I get about 15/16 around down and 10/11 towing with the 02. Also, would the AWD verus the 2wd make a difference?
Thanks!!

The Al Bundy Vacation

Maybe with all the gloom and doom with the economy I am thinking about going on the Al Bundy vacation where he sits at home in the same position with the same hand in his belt or pants. I could dream about what it is like to be camping at the finest RV resorts, eating steak and ribs each night and reading the latest issue of biguns magazine.
Oh well just a humerous throught I had while sitting at home wishing I was camping at the beach with my wife Peggy.

RE: A weathered "new" trailer

I purchased a 2006 in March 2007. Sit on lot for about 13 months. Never had any problem and saved about $4500 off of new best cash price. Also, if they offer a second year warranty that is full coverage (mine was $100 extra) I would go that route. For $100 or $150 it is a piece of mind issue. Enjoy!!

Preparing TT for Hurricane

When a hurricane hits would or could you just hook up the tt to my tv?
Would this be enough to keep in place? Trailer weights 4800 dry but I have my stuff on it. Tv is 2002 chevy suburban.
What do you think?

RE: preparing TT for possible hurricane

Could you just hook it up to you tow vehicle? I think that would be enough to hold it down. What do ya'll think? I am in eastern nc and it looks like we may be facing a storm this weekend or so.

RE: How much should we pay?

I purchased a 2006 model last March (2007). The difference in the price made this an easy choice. New price was around $22000. I paid $16800 out the door. I would offer say $16500 out the door but what is $500 (only about 2-3 tanks of gas when pulling the TT). Good luck and let us know how things turn out.

RE: GPS ??

I got the garmin streetpilot c340. I did not want to spend much so I looked on Ebay and found this one (which is refurbished with a 1 year manf. warranty just as the new ones). I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!! I see why everyone wants one...just type in destination and GO! For $129 ($119 plus $10 shipping) I feel like it was a great deal. Text to speech, internal battery and best of all very easy to use. Send me an email and i will get the info of the person i purchased the unit.
