Is this still worth anything?

I have my OEM black color matched rear bumper, but has small ding in it. Could possibly be fixed, but I wondered if its worth selling this way or just scrap it? Figured I would get a general consensus to post it or not.

Got pictures to show the "small ding"? Small ding to one person might be totally acceptable to some people and others will consider it junk.

Ive seen color matched bumpers on CL similar to yours, with small dings like that for around $200-$300.

You never know unless you post it and try to sell it. Doesn't cost anything to post it on Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist. With Ebay you don't pay any fee until it's sold. The only bad thing is that the ding is probably in the worst spot, on an edge. It would be worth trying to get out but I think it would still need filler to completely make it go away and then repaint. I'm no body man or anything so I don't know, just what I think would have to be done to completely fix it.

 

You could also just keep it if you decide to sell the truck and then put the bumper back on and then sell the bumper you had on it since it seems like you replaced it with an HD bumper. I'd rather sell a used HD bumper than a used factory bumper with a ding in it.

I figured I would just post it on craigslist for $150 and see if i get any takers. Its to much trouble to worry about swapping back when I get rid of the truck. I already replaced and sold front bumper but it didnt have anything wrong with it. Just didnt want to go through all the phones call if its not worth it. Ypu have to go through a lot of bs to find the one or two serious people on craigslist, lol.

Me personally, I wouldn't pay more than $50 for a dented bumper. It'll take quite a bit of massaging to get it straight, plus another $200 or so for paint.

 

$200+$50+body work to get it straightened = Not for me.

 

Just my .02

That's probably why the listings I've seen are still there. [emoji51]

We will see, I posted it in a big city near me so maybe some one will think its worth it. If not doesnt much matter I will just chunk it in the scrap bin at work.

Slap a bumper sticker over that area and good to go. Lots of good ones out there. If someone gets up on you close enough to see the dent then they can probably read this one.

Lol, maybe I should order that bumper sticker and make it a package deal. I posted on craigslist late yesterday and have gotten a couple phone calls already, so we will see where it goes.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I’m doing an experiment on a vehicle I don’t have much money in. I’m going by the premise that after they last 100K miles they were no mechanical problems with assembly. Or defects with the parts. With oil changes by the minder for the first 127K miles when I acquired it. I quickly went through low mileage oil changes then settled on 5k oil changes with close to 170K miles on the vehicle currently. I did have the option to turn off the cylinder deactivation. I didn’t on this vehicle because in ECONOMY mode at least half the time. It should be a no brainer frequent oil changes are the key. The manufacturer gets away with the long oil changes with its severe service  maintenance. Just ask them what is normal.

      Hot air constantly blowing through floor vents, drivers side only?

      By baglie1 · Posted

      Even set to "recirculated", the air pushes out and is hot. I have noticed that sometime it doesn't want to switch between recirculated/vented air. Say it is set to Circulated Air and I want to switch to Vented, when I click the Vented button, it just quickly lights up/clicks and immediatly switches back to Circulated. It's done this a few times now. So maybe it is an actuator getting stuck? But then, that doesn't explain the hot air when everything is off does it?

      I wonder what the price is out at the coast, Big Sur or other out of the way locations as I bet they are charging quite a premium over the in land pumps.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Were you looking at the HD trucks on the GM website or the half tons as that makes all the difference. As far as I know there are only two options for the HD trucks and that is the standard 2 speed transfer case or the 2 speed transfer case that has the added 4 high auto feature and they put that transfer case by default into the LTZ and High Country although its optional in the LT and not sure if its available in the work trucks.    The half tons, that is where its been a total mess in my estimation for a few years now with most trucks below the top trim having the single speed transfer case as standard but with the option of having the two speed such as one would get by choosing the Z71 package, however then not being able to get the two speed transfer case with the towing package unless it was a higher trim truck AND had the 6.2 gas so one could combine the towing package gearing diffs with the two speed transfer case. Having said that if its a trail boss package then it gets the two speed transfer case but not necessarily able to get the tow package as it would depend on trim level and engine chosen. Believe me, people have bought the GM half tons assuming "of course it will have a two speed transfer case" only to find out after when they really pay attention to what they now own .... crap, there is NO low range !.    I don't believe Ford or Ram have gone that way yet with their half tons but like I say its been a few years now that GM has done this with the half tons.
