Has anyone recently gotten rid of their 2019 Trail Boss? I have roughly 19k miles, and I'm on my 3rd replacement rear glass... While the vehicle is "fixed" I'm thinking of jumping ship and going with something different. What should I reasonable look to get for my TB? It's got leather, the convenience package 1 and 2, basically fully loaded... I also added the bakflip mx4 bed cover and rough country side steps. Thanks in advance!

Check KBB and Truecar. My RST is rated between 38-41k. I flirted with the idea of getting something new during the incentives the past few months and had offers of 38k from multiple dealiars, but they wouldn't budge on theirs. I suspected I could get it closer to the 40k had I pushed. Being a Trail Boss, I suspect they'll be a bit stronger. KBB is at least a good starting point before talking to dealiars.

I traded my dbl cab 4x4 RST with 10k miles in in april....KBB was 32k for trade and most werent giving KBB because auctions were closed..i went to 6-10 dealers,  car max, car stub, and 3 other private buying institutions

 

at that time it was retailing for 36-38k ( 36k was selling price i paid new and 48k was MSRP) and i got 31k for trade....another dealer was offering 32k but didnt have truck i wanted but most of them were offering 28-29k.....crazy right...... since then used truck prices have skyrocketed but new truck prices have went up as well.....so get more for yours but pay more for new (if you can find one) type a deal.......guess it all works out the same in the end

 

probably doesnt help you as alot has changed in cpl months....and that was here in california

 

what i should have done was hold onto mine and sell it privately but was scared having 2 loans out on 2 new trucks and having to sell 1 fairly quickly in midst of this issue we have.....but seeing how used market went up i dont think i would have had a problem,  at the time was unsure....i did have feeling deals on new trucks wouldnt last as inventory was low back than but didnt see used market shooting up like it did......makes sense really but whateves.....

Funny, I literally just sold mine to the dealer today, 19 fully loaded TB MSRP 60k that I paid 51k for in July 2019. Dealers best offer was $46.5k. I honestly couldn’t believe it but needless to say I jumped on it and it’s not mine anymore.


Same as you, my truck has been messed with too many times with as recently as this week they replaced the rear window and entire headliner, AGAIN. The build quality of this truck has been abysmal for me and it’s had way too many issues for me to keep long term.

I used to work at a Chevrolet dealership for a few years and trading could be good or bad. Good if you're upside down and you get something with rebates that will eat up some of your negative equity. Ideally, dealers want to make money 3 ways (with the trade in buying it below wholesale which is a shitty back and forth with their sales desk, they try to make money on the rate of the loan, and lastly the vehicle they are selling which includes the vehicle itself and all the extra BS products they try to add). It depends on how much you owe. If you own it outright and want to get rid of it fast then Carmax gives the most money for vehicles compared to regular dealers. There is a wildcard scenario though that you can take advantage of if you're lucky. Dealers compete with other dealers within their area. If you go on the last weekend of the month or even the last workday of the month they might do what we call in the car industry "pull their pants down " and give you a ridiculous deal just so they can make their sales goal and be on top. Sometimes they hit their money sales goal early in the month that they can do loser deals the rest of the month to be top volume dealer for the month as well. Sometimes though they haven't met their money sales goal and the situation can be different. Use your judgment and SHOP AROUND dealers and make them compete. Don't be afraid to show quotes from other dealers. Whatever you do don't commit right away until you're ready. Salesperson will try to get you to commit right away by asking questions such as "if I can beat the other dealers price do we have your business today only?" Good luck!

lucky for me i was dead even on equity.....i would have never done it otherwise, even all the dealesr were shocked that i only had it 7 months and wasnt upside down.....but i still lost money.....tax i had to pay twice plus few k on the truck....never do it again thats for sure.....the new 2500 werent out yet, when i got 1500......got fair shake on both ends but you cant buy, sell, buy new vehicles in short period of time and not lose something, lol

What do you think it is worth, realistically? Different markets will bring different values.

Are you going to stay with GM, or go to the competition? All things to think about, because you are going to get answers from all across the US, and Canada.

Didn't have a TB but I did break even on my 19 after driving it about a year (minus tax) and the dealer I traded it to sold it within a week.

 

As others have mentioned, truck values are very strong right now but again that does apply for new as well.

Have you thought about getting in another TB but with a solid window? Seems like there are zero issues with the solid window. Love mine

Check Carvana or Vroom. Enter all your info and they’ll come pick up your car and give you a check. Carmakers has also been giving numbers close to carvana recently if you have one of those around you.

 

Used car values are sky high right now with the shortage of inventory.

 

I paid $45k for my truck in Nov and just got an offer from carvana for $46k.

 

If I can find a suitable replacement, I’ll pull the trigger this week.

Carvana gave me a quote of 44k, which is more than I owe on truck, and gives me hope that I might be able to get more at a dealership...

Carvana was about $4k higher for me than any dealership but that being said, if a dealer offers you say $42k trade in its worth it just to avoid the taxes on the new truck if you sell it to Carvana.

Good to have options regardless.

      Of course refrain from political debate but I myself have very dismal hope for what is all going on up here every where we turn so I nodded my head when I saw this joke.

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      While waiting for parts I have been working on installing the AC compressor, new accumulator, and orifice tube. Also changed out the high side ball valve (original). The orifice tube that was in there wasn't too bad. Slightly dirty, a little bit of junk, but not blocked. Glad I changed it out.   The accumulator, which should have been a 5 minute job, may have just burned $50. Put some PAG in it, wrote the date and mileage on the side, fresh o-rings and gooey'd up the threads and rings with Nylog. Got everything connected and snugged and was going to vacuum down the system, and....   My manifold gauge won't fit on the port. It's not an R12 service port. It LOOKS like an R134 service port but the diameter is a hair too large. There's a sticker on the accumulator that says it's designed to be used with R12 and R134a systems only. So it's not R1234yf. Even if I reduced the diameter slightly with a file, the shoulder on the port is too large so the quick-connect valve won't lock on. I'm stumped. It's going back, and 50/50 on if they'll give me a refund.   Also, I did a fuel pressure test.... Key on, the gauge spikes to about 60psi and quickly bleeds off, like 2psi per second. The fuel isn't going into the plenum, no smell, starts fine, so I'm guessing there's a bad check valve in the pump and the fuel is just draining back into the tank. oh, hell. But, it shouldn't be a problem, pump primes just fine and the truck starts right up. It just means I can't really ever use fuel pressure to verify a leak at the injector or intake.

      SERCICE ESC message?

      By No F-bdy Bs · Posted

      Got this yesterday out of nowhere. Truck is a 25',6.6 gasser with 8k miles.  Only semi anomaly is that the truck had been sitting, uncranked for 6 days. Elec Stability Control showed immediately upon cranking, not while driving. No drivability issues, just the message. Battery didn't seem to be weak when cranking over.  I drove it, killed it, let it sit a few hrs with no avail.  Truck is 100% stock. No damage.
