So, I negotiated a leftover 2010 SLT with AT package, convenience package and they through in a drop in bedliner for no cost. Selling price is $34,095 after all rebates. I thought I did pretty good, but come to find out the truck already has 356 miles on it. This was not made aware to me. I've already left a $500 deposit and was taking care of the paperwork , when this was noticed.

 

Either this truck was a demo or there were a lot of test drives. IN either case, I think it is excessive. I've never buoght a "new" vehicle that had any more then 75 miles on. Most were <25. I'm in a pinch casuse I am supopsed to pick up the truck this wknd and have already sold my other truck. Would it be fair to try and haggle for a lower price? This would seem to be a used vehicle at this point.

Its new if it has never titled. Could have been a dealer trade and they had to drive it there. And GM gives demos a full warranty with up to 7500 miles on the odometer, at least they used to.

That would still be considered "new". It may depend on the state but I think either over 500 or 1K miles makes a difference.

 

I would question them on the miles and see what their explaination is. I highly doubt you would be able to get anything out of it but well worth a try (maybe some side steps or other accessory???)

It may also have been a dealer trade. I bought my 09 in January it was in another state. They went and picked it up and when I got it it had 250ish miles on it. Yes it is still a new truck untill it is titled in the buyers name. Atleast that's the way it is in Georgia. The dealer where I got mine still has 3 new 09's left if you want one of those. :dunno:

prices seems high for a demo. Yes its still considered new. Got mine 2010 for 33k out the door, Everything but leather, sunroof and GPS it has 4 miles on it ;) BTW i had a friend that was looking for the truck he wanted and the closest place they could find it was 500 miles away so that had some one drive it up and they took $ off the price due to miles added! i think they took off like 1k!!!

In Tennessee its new as long as it has never been titled. miles do not matter. And 356 miles is not anything sitting on the lot for a while.

Id be telling them to drop the price another grand at least. I know someone who got an All Terrain for less than that and it didn't even have half those miles on it.

hmm, well I would have thought that was a fair bit of mileage. I'm not sure how much more I can haggle. They told me the vehicle was driven from another ME dealer, so there is no way that mileage would have been accumulated from getting it from the other dealer. Must have been driven a fair bit at the 1st dealer. in any case, maybe I'll see if they will include a tonneu cover or something.

 

sic lsx, this vehicle has full leather, so your LT would understandably be less then mine.

My dealer in Memphis traded a Acadia for my truck from a place in Kentucky. So of course drive the Acadia up there and then drive the truck back down. So i got her with 354 on the ticker... Didn't bother me a bit. Think about it 354 miles is nothing.... Its like buying a tv that has been on in the store for 10 hours.

yes, but that is assuming it wasn't beat on with every test drive.

I bought my truck "new" with over 8,000 miles.... it was driven by the dealership's manager (at first I was told it was the owner, but another salesman I talked to cleared it up, between two identical trucks the option package was the one preferred by the manager). This didn't bother me, I saved substantially on the sales price for it.

 

My 2003 had 8 miles on it.

Sorry guys, there was a mistake on the paperwork. The truck isn't even at the dealer yet, so I don't know the true mileage yet. Apparently the finance guy had someone else's vehicle on my paperwork.

Looks like the truck as been on a lot of test drives. I wouldn't be worried about the 300+ miles on the truck. I'd be more concerned about the price. What did the truck sticker for? I'd compare the monthly payment on the 34K that you agreed on against the sticker price at 0% (they should be able to give $$$ off).

I wouldn't worry about the miles but would insist on fresh oil and filter. Crawl underneath and mark the filter with a pen so you can verify.

      10L1000 anyone with High Mileage ? I hate Damocles....

      By Deadwood · Posted

      New member here, very long time occasional guest. Saw this thread, thought it would be a good time to contribute someting. It is only my experience and not a claim that everyone will have the same.   I bought my '20 3500 L5P new and have put 99.9% (literally) of it's current ~400k miles on it myself, with over 50% of that towing loads between 4k to 15k, and to me this truck has been nothing short of amazing. For the first 235k I had zero issues, and from there until 321k I replaced a NOx sensor, two failing glow plugs, and three of the notorious injector connectors. I believe this truck is in part, a testament to good luck, but also good care and following a decent maintenance schedule (I also keep meticulous records.) As a result, it looks as good as a well cared for 70k rig, up and down, inside and out.   At some point before that 321k mile mark I began to get a little spooked about the 10L1000, especially the valve body. Word of mouth about potential issues prompted me to jump on the net to sift through all the noise and determine what all the fuss was about. I routinely take long trips, coast-to-coast and points in between, so roadside breakdowns can be '...a thousand miles from nowhere' and a bit of a challenge, and though I had no issues, my guard was up and activated.   And then I stumbled across a chance to salvage some parts off a new 2025 that had been wrecked in transport. I grabbed a few wear items (alternator, pulleys, etc.) and on a whim asked what the ten speeder would cost me. It was cheap...really cheap. I knew some changes had been made in the '24+ version 10L and were supposedly not compatible, but I called service/parts at my local Chevy dealer and asked why and they didn't know. A call to a well known aftermarket transmission outfit revealed it was very likely it would be fine, but to them not 100% sure.   Because it was cheap (really cheap) and I was spooked, I took the chance. Had it installed by a local shop and it worked like a champ, shifted just like the original. At it's first service at 37k, I had the shop put in a Next Gen valve body kit, which after some initial hiccups and rough shifts, smoothed out though with somewhat firmer shifting.   All that said, I have a very serious concern about my newer transmission as just two weeks ago it suddenly began to exhibit a strong reluctance to engage forward or reverse. It was a bit past due anyway so I took it in for service. The reason it was sticking was due to 'glitter' in the fluid clogging the filter...not good folks, often indicates a converter giving out. We ended up going ahead with the new filter and fluid, first to see if it would move and shift, and then if so buy me a little time. It did, and I've driven it over a thousand miles and it is shifting smooth, no noises or slipping. Regardless, it looks like a third gearbox is in my future so I can resume taking long trips with some confidence. In the very short term, my curiosity will have me examining the fluid to check how much glitter has reappeared.   An earlier poster had alleged, in the context of 10L100 failures, that it is another example of how we seasoned citizens somehow descend into hysteria, lose control of our senses, and react irrationally after brief encounters with the idiocy of the internet infosphere. Let me say (and I have used and abused said internet since it's infancy) there is no segment of the populace that has a corner on over-reaction to digital garbage. Just as my offering of experience in this arena is purely anecdotal and should not be considered gospel or all-encompassing, I believe it is still worthwhile information to consider, along with other relevant anecdotal experiences about things like complex transmissions, especially when balanced with other sources.   So to answer the original question, yes I got high miles out of my first 10L, trouble free for 321,000. Now I really wonder how much longer it would have went. Did I 'overreact' to the internet ghouls by replacing a 'good' one with a 'bad' one? Maybe. Who knows, the thing might have taken a puke a 100 miles later. So I'll just fix it again, then move on and start thinking about all the other stuff that will eventually wear out. It still has the original brakes (they're at ~60%), original injectors/pump, turbo, water pump, etc....pretty much original everything. Knock on wood.

      6 Speed vs 8 Speed

      At peak temperature.  They get to cool down and warm up more, especially those with the external cooler.  I have three GMT900s and one of them has over 225K on its original transmission.  Fluid gets changed about every 36K miles, all of it.     It's not the bean counters, it was the government.  They had to meet CAFE standards and other government requirements.   To get around that, we tune them and modify them to our liking.

      Radio Update

      By newdude · Posted

      PCM?  These don't have a "PCM".  Powertrain Control Module.  They have an ECM (Engine Control Module) and TCM (Transmission Control Module).   Do you mean update the radio?     You can check what version you have in the settings page.  Should be Y181 but there might be a newer build they can update it to.
