Southern California car, one owner. Meticulously maintained, always garaged, only driven by a senior business executive. . . never a "family vehicle" hauling kids and sports equipment and camping gear. So it’s in astonishing condition. Recent synthetic oil change and fluid top off. Comes with original window sticker, original dealer invoice, full maintenance history file, two key FOB’s and leather-bound owner's manual.

​

I pushed it pretty hard on the 350-mile drive across the desert from LA to Phoenix, to reveal any issues. It performed flawlessly, ran straight and strong, no lights, computer codes, drips, noises or other issues of any kind.

​

​Custom upgrades include 20-inch KMC XD wheels and Michelin Defender Tires with only 5k miles. LED headlights/taillights. Pioneer AVIC 8200 Multimedia Navigation Receiver with backup camera. Original 6-CD Delco stereo also comes with the car. Factory Bose 9-speaker system, sounds great!

BODY/PAINT/INTERIOR

Body panels are dead straight, no dents or scrapes anywhere. The still-glossy Summit White paint looks sharp! All trim pieces, window glass, and roof rack are excellent. Small repaired windshield chip. All the weather stripping is pliable and firm. Undercarriage is astonishingly clean, restored to a stunning "Barrett Jackson" condition, with original factory chalk marks and tags visible (see photos).

 

Interior is pristine with near-mint two-tone neutral/shale leather seats. Carpets and door panels are in excellent condition. All power features, dash controls, courtesy lights, consoles controls, and rear passenger stereo and AC controls are functional.

​INVESTMENT

Great value, given its showroom condition and the fact that a new Denali now goes for $80k. These 1st Generation Denali’s are now over twenty years old and have reached the bottom of their depreciation curve. They are becoming collectable and pristine examples are now going UP in value, not down. The first generation Denali is especially valued for its super dependable 6.0-litre LS motor and AWD overdrive transmission. These early Denali's are hammering at $18k-$25k on major auction sites. Now's the time.
