If a dealer is offering you 30k, do your homework, they are screwing you on the other end.
How so? I see nothing that tells me otherwise. Kbb is $28k

That is a lot of "custom" mods. Are those painted stock bumpers? Is that a bolt on grill you purchased? Does the truck sit in a garage? Mods don't add value, especially when you paint stuff as that sh

^this. Mid 30's is a pipe dream. If you truly want to maximize your dollar, de-mod and return back to stock and sell your mods. Have to weigh whether it's worth your time and effort though.

How so? Do your research on the vehicle you are purchasing...what people are actually paying for that vehicle right now. Rebates, out the door price. That’s the “other end”. 
 

Dealers will often give you “more” in trade to trick you into thinking you got a good deal, then they simply won’t give you the money off on the other end. Happens every single day. Everyday.

Seems you have your mind made up.

IMO

First establish the price of the new truck.

Now you know the best price they will give you.

Don't mention a trade in.

Then bring up trade in.

I agree with Doublebase. People allow the dealers to jive the numbers around to their favor.

So $42 + the $22 you owe is $64 of debt. How deep hole you figure you can fill? Someone is going to get a really nice truck and your getting a mountain of debt and a stock truck. How long before the modify bug bites? How much did you spend on the mods you did? You're going to throw that money away. I've never had enough money to do a trade like this and go, "Meh".

Pretty much.  Sometimes the high trade works in your favor and sometimes not.  When I bought my 2015 Silverado I had a 2013 F150 I bought 18 months prior and paid 32k out the door for.  It was a weird oddball XLT extended cab with a 6.2 in it so not a common truck.  Everyone at the time was offering around 13k in rebates on a finance deal plus then whatever else you could negotiate on the GM trucks.  When I mentioned trade in they would offer me about 23k for the Ford at the highest.  One dealer though did better and I say that's why you watch.  They offered an initial 9500 off the new truck but then offered 30k for my trade... well you do the math... still better than anyone else.  I ended up having to threaten to walk when I got to the dealer with my trade in as they of course changed their minds miraculously but I got my deal in the end.

 

It's all a numbers game... shop around asking first on an out the door price then bring up the possibility of a trade in after... you will find something.

42k after your trade? 
 

That truck is going for 56k out the door with rebates in my area. And that was before all this madness hit. I’d shop around.

I don’t know much about these particular trucks, but here’s one near me.

 

 Brand new out the door.

It appears that way. 
 

It’s obviously a buyer’s market right now, BUT that changes dramatically when you have to trade something in. Because in a sense you are now not really the “buyer”, you’re also now the seller. And they will take full advantage of that.

Vehicles are such a lousy use of capital. If you use it for work - and can expense it, that is one thing. but, please be careful with trading these $50k trucks, the taxes, the insurance and upkeep will ruin you, unless you really have the scratch to do it...

I'm wondering how come you still owe 22G on a six year old truck. 

 

Also wondering this.. that’s an intense amount left.

 

Did you do 120 month or what? Is that possible?

 

I would finish paying it off then evaluate your financial situation bc from the sound of it you dug yourself into a hole when you bought the truck in 2014.

 

Also something seems not right with the number they gave you for trade in. Drive out (February 2019) for my SLT 2018 brand new was 38k.. msrp was like 54. I think 30 would be a stretch.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Progress... sort of.   Intake is disassembled, spider is out, fuel lines removed. Used a torch on the stripped screw with the lower intake off, much easier when I've got the intake sitting on my workbench, I made it talk. Walked right out with a pair of vice grips once it was nice and toasty hot.   New parts are piling up on my service cart waiting to be installed. Distributor, temperature sensor, new gaskets, fuel line kit, themostat, water neck.   My new pickle is I don't want to spend $600 on a replacement spider. I'm not sure IT is bad. I'm probably splitting hairs. Or it's $300 to send mine away and another 3 weeks of the truck just sitting. I have half a mind to assemble everything with the old spider to see if I can get away with just replacing the fuel pressure regulator to be safe. The obvious issue was the gushing high pressure fuel line which will be replaced. Getting to the spider really isn't that hard, and now I know what I'm doing , swapping it would be a breeze should it absolutely need one. Stupid, or smart?   The part that gives me pause is replacing the distributor. Well, it's already out. And I didn't mark it, whoopsie! Engine was at TDC when I removed it, I know that, so upon correct reinstall the metal tip on the rotor should point to the TDC mark on the distributor because that's where it was pointing on the old distributor. Worst case I'm a tooth off and have to re-stab it.   But then, what? I assume the truck will start. It doesn't appear the timing can be set. Here's the problem: These distributors can't be rotated but a degree or two, by design. What I read is Cam ****** needs to be -2 to +2 degrees, ideally at 0 (and checked/set above 1000 rpm). There should be enough wiggle to get that properly set, but checking the reported value is another potential issue. My Actron 9185 scanner says it supports enhanced GM PIDs and Cam ****** is one of them but it's unclear that I'll be able to correctly see it over OBD 1.5. I can see why people end up junking these things with life left in them. They're an absolute nightmare with tweener-year diagnostics/electronics and unobtanium parts.   Fingers crossed it starts and idles nicely. There can be hope, right? I'ma buy a lottery ticket the same day just in case.   Next steps..DO IT. I have not installed an intake before so I've been reading and watching a lot. Some say NO RTV except on china walls, some say DO RTV on water ports but not fuel/air intake. 1/4 or 3/8 bead on China walls? I think my strategy will be, obviously, RTV china walls with overlap on the gasket corners. Chapstick-style RTV the water ports. Leave intake ports dry. The only set of intake gaskets I could find locally are Edelbrock performance gaskets (uh...for an asthmatic 190hp V6? LOL) so we'll see how they do.   #NoToolLeftBehind. It took an hour, but my recovery mission for my deep 10mm socket was successful. It had rolled down the bellhousing and wedged itself between what I think are the fuel lines? I couldn't see it at all, but with a junk antenna I had laying around, I blindly went poking/sweeping for it, heard it clink, raised the truck, and caught a sliver glimpse of chrome with a flashlight way up there in Narnia. I had pushed it farther along the lines holding it captive, but within access of severely improvised tools, poking and cursing at it to finally knock it free to where I could get a fingertip on it to bring it home.    Not much to see.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By KARNUT · Posted

      It wouldn’t have happened if the government hadn’t mandated outrageous fuel mileage standards. It does very little for the consumer. It adds cost. Back during Covid there was a chip shortage. They gave a rebate for your truck if it didn’t have the chip to turn on cylinder deactivation. It was 50$ because at best you may see 1/2 a mile increase per gallon. Splitting hairs each fuel mileage trick wasn’t mandated. The government doesn’t do the engineering work and say use this until it’s already in use and they like it. The fuel mileage was mandated. And those add ons the results. There’s a mandate and they are the results.

      It was never mandated.  Ever.    Automakers were incentivized to install it by getting CAFE credits to help with their vehicle fleet fuel economy scores.  They were being handed money/CAFE credits to install it.  Which is NOT a mandate.       The current admin removed the incentives that were behind them installing it.
