When appraising used GM vehicles, please note that the manufacturer has a history of turning optional equipment packages on certain models into a trim for that model in subsequent model years. For example, the LT Equipment Group was originally an option package available on the Chevrolet Tahoe LS for model years 2000 through 2006. But for the 2007 model year, vehicles so equipped were given a new trim designation, the Chevrolet Tahoe LT.
In cases like these, our Used Car Appraiser reflects the designation originally made by the manufacturer for the given model year -- so to obtain the most accurate appraisal for a 2006 model Chevrolet Tahoe, you would need to add each of the individual options contained in the LT Equipment Group during the appraisal process for the LS trim while for a 2007 model Tahoe you will need only to select the LT trim.
Please see the specific examples below for instructions on obtaining accurate appraisals for models that have undergone this transition.
