It happens. I bought a brand new Toyota Tacoma and only kept it for 7 months. What a POS.

There's a country song about it, "lessons learned.."

55 for an RST? I see two problems...paying a bit too much and being offered way too little.    Sell it outright. Don’t get bent by the same dealer twice. Only chance at somewhat of a recovery.

If I could find someone to pay me what I owe on it, I'd sell it outright and buy a different vehicle with cash. I got a truck thinking I'll need a truck, and low and behold I've not used it as a truck once haha

If you are a home owner, you will find things to use a truck as a truck almost weekly.

 

And as irony works, if you get rid of it, you will need a truck for something.

Go to KBB and do their Instant Cash Offer. The sites like KBB and NADA are nowhere near correct. Every dealer uses a daily market value to give trade values on vehicles for their market. The KBB Instant Cash Offer will pull in dealers from your area and give you an almost exact trade value/offer. You can almost take that amount to the bank as that is the market value of your vehicle in your area. I've used this twice in the last 2 months just to get an idea of what trade I would be getting. It was spot on both times (within a couple hundred).

 

Used car market is like the stock market now. It is up and down daily; even almost hourly

For the ones that I traded in last year, the instant cash value was spot on with what I got. The trade in value if you go through the standard process was about 25-30% lower.

 

Chevy Dude on YouTube has a good video on this topic. I can't seem to locate it now, but if you wanted to search it out you can. He's a salesman for a local Chevy dealer in Louisville, KY.

I might be late to the party here...but

Dealer gave me 35k for a wounded '19 Elevation. Had a carfax and a ruined bumper. Only 2k more for a cleaner, newer truck seems lame

Trade it in on something you like. You can even trade down. I’ve done it to get out of a vehicle I hated. As far as making payments means you can’t afford it, ridiculous. In my younger days my money accumulated to buy houses to rent to earn me income. While I drove o percent payments vehicles. Now I pay cash. I’m older not worried about investments for obvious reasons. I even buy appliances at o percent when available. My investment income pays the payments.

This is true. I've been checking my value with Carvana just in case we start talking $5 gas again. My truck is also a 6.2 RST and the value fluctuates a lot. It was down to $36k about a month ago and yesterday it was up to $41k. They monitor demand really close.

For kicks and giggles I decided to play along and hope over to KBB. Here's what I got. I have 2 or 3 paint scratches in the truck because one of my kids hit a door with mommy's car door when she parked next to me one day. Also, I feel these values are a little low because of some unaccounted for features on my truck, like the GM sport bar, light bar, and auxiliary switches. 9725af950bf1fd08921688461a314699.jpgecd2c5dee760a4e375101920b0fbb1f0.jpg

 

That private party value is what I paid for the truck new. 2020 Trail Boss LT with 6.2.

That's what I'm saying, you need to see what the Instant Cash Offer is or go someplace like Carvana or CarMax. Those websites are months behind what the actual values are as of today. Dealers use daily actual market data for trade-ins now. They do not rely on those sites.

 

It is a market game. It would be like getting GameStop's stock values from 2 months ago and thinking you were going to buy it today for that value.

      Replacing 2.7L on 2021 Silverado with 2023 2.7L

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      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.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      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.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      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.
