Season to upgrade and the used truck market

[TeamSaris]

Ive been thinking about trading my truck for another elevation but with the 10 spd for a few months. Now with GM Employee pricing and the used truck market being strong, its looking like I can upgrade to a 21 Elevation 5.3 10 Spd with a few more options than mine for peanuts. Anyone else noticing the same thing? The more I think about it ive seen very few 2019+ used for sale. 

Now....Pacific Blue Metallic or stick with Satin Steel?

I was torn between those two colors as well. My wife just bought a Satin Steel Terrain, so I got the Pacific Blue 2021 Sierra and I absolutely love it.

Used prices / trade-in values are unusually high here as well. 

 

New lots have new inventory improved somewhat, but are still way way below normal levels.

Dealers are parking vehicles creatively to make it look like they have more vehicles than they do.

I'm really thinking about trading for an AT4 with the 3.0 & 10-speed. GM is finally starting to offer some decent rebates again and trade-in values are still inflated. Just a matter of finding one within a reasonable distance with the options/color I want.

Just traded my 15 All Terrian for 31k and got really good rebates on a 21 AT4. Got into a $66,000 truck for pennies. Last year was offered 24 for the same truck with less miles.

Go to KBB's site and do their cash offer. You will be surprised how accurate they will be on what your trade in is. I've bought 5 trucks in the last month for work and new was considerably better than used. Used car pricing has exploded because of COVID.

everybody is getting trucks for pennies now?

I would push for an AT4 myself but I dont want a crew cab. Apparently all 21 AT4s are, which is lame. Double Cab long bed is most practical for me

Nows the time to upgrade, if you can find one to your liking on the dealer lots.  In our area Trade in values are sky high. I traded a 17’ I bought two and half years ago for a 21’ 3.0. They gave me almost 34k for the 17’. I got a 62k 3.0 for mid 40’s, if I choice to buy out the lease. Only thing you need to watch is the interest rates especially on the 21’s depending on your area.

Mid-40's on the lease buy-out AFTER you make 25K in lease payments.

It’s actually 22K in lease payments and a 34K lease buy-out.

The long bed is only available with a regular cab.  Double cab only comes with a standard bed and crew cab can be had with a standard bed or short bed.

Same here. Trade values are through the roof. Almost a no brainer if you’re planning on getting into a new one anytime soon. Sitting in a 66k truck right now for less than my 15 Sierra.
