Those aren’t worth 75k right now. They aren’t even worth 50k right now. Selling price seems to in the 40s depending on condition. 

My wife’s insured with Hagerty. They keep us updated and adjust the coverage accordingly. We’re at 50K now coverage The record at BJackson is 63K. If someone is selling an excellent condition for under 50K that’s a deal. I wouldn’t buy one for that. Ours new was 22K. My wife drove it daily for a year and put it up. I’m a muscle car guy. I didn’t keep mine, the wife did. Mostly to prove a point. And she did.

Please don't do this.  This stopped being "cool" 10 years ago, yet I STILL see folks all giddy driving these things around - and yes, they are fully-grown people!

We looked at some of the yellow and black camaros back in 2010 when I bought my current silverado. My kids love the yellow and black. I do as well. I am not worried about resale value as I tend to keep my vehicles until resell doesn't matter. I have 190k on my 2007 silverado that I bought in 2010 with 75 miles on it.

I despise the fact that 99% of the vehicles on the road are just so DAMN boring.  I feel like I'm living in a monochromatic world of boring people.  The world and our nations highways and byways need more vehicles that POP with loud, bright and emotion generating colors.

 

I can't stand the constant parade of nearly ALL vehicles that are either:

1. White

2. Black

3. Silver/Gray

 

I realize it's not a truck but here's my prior car that I think was stunning in yellow/black.  My current one as depicted in my avatar is red as I can't stand the dull, pastel and matte looking "Racing Yellow" they offered when I bought the red one.  My C8 Z06 will be ordered in black but I'll have it wrapped in Kawasaki MX racing green the day I take delivery.  Similar to the green one depicted below.  The last pic is a full on picture of my current red/black car.  I be lovin' me some POP!!!

 

LIFE IS TOO SHORT FOR BORING COLORS/CARS/TRUCKS!!!

 

And yes, I'm a bit of a hypocrite in that my daily driver is a black AT4.  IMHO, it was the best looking color offered on the AT4

I've done the white, charcoal , and silver on all of my vehicles in the past. I even had a Satin Steel Metallic just about headed my way after the Silver 2018 got towed for the third time. Then I saw the Red Hot and something inside of me said do something different.

 

It's not everyone's cup of tea but I like it and I'm glad I didn't settle for the Satin Steel Metallic.

 

I've added 4" round OEM black step bars since this picture was taken and I have a couple of other ideas I am toying with.

Yes sir, it is.

 

Reminds me if the Accelerate Yellow on the C8 except for the metallic part.

    • I’m definitely interested to hear the end result here. 
    • My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.
    • Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken. 
    • Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.
