Price paid?

Hey guys, new to the forums and this is my first post. I am hoping to purchase a new truck at the end of the year and was wondering if you think the numbers I came up with will be doable at the end of this year. I'm looking at getting a 2014 Sierra or 2015 F150, which ever one I can get a better deal on.

 

If I go the GMC route, I want a 2014 Sierra Crew Cab Standard Box SLE 4WD 5.3L V8, with SLE Value Package and Front Cloth Bucket Seats. Do you think I could get this truck for around 37K including TTL? If not, what would be a reasonable price?

 

I'm leaning towards the end of the year to make the purchase in hopes that there might be some used ones with low miles on them. If not, I will just buy new.

 

 

Good for you if you can get it but I don't think that price is really possible at the moment. I do think though you could get that same truck for $37k plus TTL

Thanks for the reply JJ. CA taxes will probably bring the total up to 40K then. I guess I will just have to save up a little longer and put down a bigger down payment or look for a slightly used one. Thanks again for the response.

I bought the same truck 2 weeks ago so there is my reference :) I got employee pricing plus $4k off in rebates. Do yourself a favor though, get the GMC. This truck is unbelievable and I cant believe there is better out there!

Gotcha. Yeah I really like the Sierra. Just trying to find out what deal to expect since I'll probably be throwing another 6K into the truck for wheels, tires and lift.

Would think the first 6 months of F150's rolling around, Ford is going to want as much as they can get for them. So that is going to put you roughly this time next year before they get competitive as they are now.

2014 Silverado LT Z71 doublecab all star package with the 5.3l i paid $33,000

 

That's what I want and want to pay but for a crew cab. I hope the 2015s have some better incentives next year.

First post here..... Lurking just since I pulled the trigger on a new truck about a month ago. Never had any issues with my '89 Silverado from the day I drove it off the lot until the day I sold it a few weeks ago.

 

Total including tax, tags, license, dealer processing, etc was 33,266. That's for a '14 Silverado LT Z71 Double Cab, All Star, LT Plus (with power rear window), Heated Seats, OWL 18" tires, and Trailer Brake Controller. The truck also had, but no additional cost listed, the factory drop in bed liner.

You boys that pay that much for a vehicle are outta your ever loving minds.

Why do you say that? Yeah it seems like a huge number but with inflation everything is going to cost more. I remember when a $20k vehicle was considered astronamical, now it's considered a solid used vehicle.

How long does the typical person finance a truck at that price 6-7-8 years? Yes some can afford large down payments or trade ins but sorry paying for a vehicle what ya pay for a house is nuts.

true, but the last time i had a truck payment was 2003. my last truck i had for 15 yrs. Time that i spoil myself. no buyer's remorse here. the extra options is well worth it. i plan on keeping this truck for another 15 yrs. i guess it all depends on what you use your truck for too.

Options and diversity it's the backbone of life I guess. Y'all can have them haha I proved a single cab duramax work truck and a single cab 6.0 gas. I've not been back since.

A $50k truck which mine is listed for almost $57 is no where close to my house payment monthly. A lot of people can afford it, calling someone nuts because its within their personal means is well nuts. I and many many others aren't going to be car poor after a purchase. That being said I think paying $80+ for a damn escalade is wild but many can afford it as well. No reason to knock them.

    • Just did an injector/HPFP replacement on Pepper at 192,400 miles; close enough to 200K, RIGHT? (If 200K is considered life end and to me it isn't). But hey, to each his own.    Have never run a catch can on this vehicle. Back side of every valve looked like a new valve spray painted semigloss black. Port walls looked 'neat' (all a normal result of passive EGR via VVT) Zero build up even in AFM cylinders. Just color. It uses no measurable oil and never has.    At 155,000 I put her on E-85 and a borescope of the cylinders at plug change showed very clean pistons and valve faces. The replaced injector tips looked new. (It was the pump piston seal that was leaking). Oh well, have six good backups.    Still gets 28 mpg on gas (highway average) and over 20 (highway) on alky. UOA's look good and runs as good now as it did when I bought it. Better in fact.    What improvement would a Catch Can provide this motor?     And given all this I expect that IF I installed one I'd see some water/gas/oil vapor accumulation. Byproducts of normal combustion.   Having said that, IF my motor used an appreciable amount of oil I'd consider it a useful 'crutch' until I had the situation corrected OR if bore polished, until I junked it or rebuilt it to stave off repeated plug fouling.    I'm not telling you what I THINK. But what its DONE.          
    • Love the look. I'm a SCSB lover myself.    Two items. 1.) A spacer changes scrub radius but this also changes when we use wheels of different offsets. A little isn't a big deal. 2.) Steel wheels, alloy wheels all have different thickness. Same effect on the stud and lug nut as a spacer. When hub centric the wheel isn't supported by the stud. It's supported by the hub. The stud just keeps it all together.  
    • I had a evap sol go bad a couple weeks ago. . I replaced it.  While watching live data at the time I saw I had some cylinder 1 misfires. No MIL but on live data I could see ~50 at startup and about 70 more after an hour a drive all on cyl 1.  I also noticed that the LTFT were -5% to -15% always.  And that bank 2 is always -3% richer than bank 1. Even across all driving modes, city, highway, etc it’s always 3% richer than bank 1. So I start with the misfire. Swapped coil, plug, and plug wires from 1 to 3. No follow. I got an Injector reseal kit, pulled the D/s injector rail, swapped #1 and #3 injectors, resealed them, reinstalled and retested.  The misfire followed to 3. So I ordered and replaced all 8 injectors, spark plugs, and plug wires. Also replaced the 1 time use fuel pipes under the intake manifold.  Injectors that were in the truck since new were  Part # 12668390.  I replaced them with # 12742701 Got from RockAuto. Pretty certain they’re genuine and the correct ones. I called a friend at a parts store who told me “the 12742701 were the correct superseded part # for the originals I was replacing”. So started truck after replacing all that and it’s running -15 - -30 LTFTs. I reset the fuel trims with GDS2 and drove it for a 60 miles trip each way. There have been no changes in the LTFTs.  I checked if the HPFP was leaking into the crankcase. I removed the pvc and watched the trims. No difference.  I checked the alcohol content and it was at 10%  I’m out of ideas here. Truck seems to run great. Just always rich on the fuel trims.  Anyone with any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.  I ran an injector balance test just for the heck of it and it came back this. I’m confused.  I have gds2 and some other diag tools if anyone knows of anything I should test next.
