Looking to buy this truck saturday.  Good deal?  Got the dealer to throw in a spray in bedliner and aftermarket heated seats.  Im a little nervous about the mileage. Worth being nervous about or not so much?

Welcome to the site.

 

Mileage is roughly 12,500 a year, so not bad, did they give details about the heated seats?

My FIL just purchased a '15 GMC Sierra (southern truck though, so never in snow with saly roads, etc) with leather seats, spray in liner, etc with 72xxx miles for $25k

Heated seats and bedliner were both going to be done by a place by me that specializes in both.  Found this info on their website. Front Heated seats were katzkin brand with 3 yr warranty for $500 and bedliner has a lifetime warranty and also $500

I might try to beat them up a little on price, if you are ready to buy and have your financials in line.

 

Reason I say this is, if they have enough profit to do the additions, they might come down some, otherwise if you are happy with it, buy the truck.

 

I would ask for all known service records, just so you the trucks background if possible.

I beat him up enough. He only had enough wiggle room to get what I needed.

Congratulations on your new to you truck.

 

Lots of good info on the site here, when you have questions, which we all do at times.

Oh man, our last truck was a 2016 Colorado that was rainforest green. Looked just like that green. I liked it a lot it, but my wife absolutely loved that color. It was very hard to give it up. We traded it in three weeks ago for a 2019 black 1500 Silverado LD. The price was right. 

Yes, GM doesn't make enough green trucks. I only saw one other green Colorado like ours on the road.

Good luck with your new ride!

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
