I just traded in my 2018 Silverado 1500 LTZ Texas Edition (MSRP was ~48k, 16.5k Miles at trade in) a week ago. I got a new 2019 Silverado 1500 LTX Texas Edition with all the added safety features I didn't want to pay for when I bought the 2018 last year. I didn't spend the extra 3k last year, and my truck was missing all the safety features and I decided finally I would upgrade. I was looking at Sierras for a while, but I couldnt get them to come down in price at all after the incentives and I was still looking at 41k for the Sierra. I ended up coming across a retired loaner at the Chevy dealership and went with that. It had 3k miles on it, but it was everything I wanted in the Sierra (LTZ, convience package, cooled seats which is a must in Texas, front and rear park assist, lane keep, forward collison alert, push start, true keyless entry, rear vent, rear heated seats, navigation). MSRP on it was 51.8k, dealer discounted it for 10.1k, and I was able to qualify for another 8.25k worth of incentives. After the dealer accessories (spray in bedline [wish I didn't have to pay for this, as the rhino liner is better and cheaper], tint, and automatic running board) the selling price was 36k. I was able to get 32.5k for trade in value on my 2018 Silverado 1500 Tx Edition LTZ with 16.5k miles on it (which I had paid ~35k for last June) so I was 32.5k out the door. I added the 2k maintence plan and extended warranty, as well as the 1k Club Plus Plan. Ending up same finacing terms as previous truck and lowered payment $2. Side note, what does everyone think of the MPP Plans, both the Club Plus, and Platinum Care? I purchahsed them last year with the vehicle and cancelled a few days after leaving the dealership, and I'm thinking about doing the same this go around. Any insight would be appreciated! Thanks in advance

Why is that so high? is it 4wd? does it have a lot of dealer added packages? I purchased a 2018 LTZ TX Edition last year (just traded that in a week ago, post later), sticker was 48, got it for 34, but there were a ton of incentives, and I was super patient. I Was driving around a 2005 trailblazer before than and had been looking for a new truck for 18 months. Have a price in mind and look around. You have to be patient. With that said I have never been able to get a dealer to go any lower than what they are listing it for, but i have been able to work more on the trade, but i live in DFW and the trucks are priced pretty aggressively around here.
