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.

      Ac not keeping up

      Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
