I unloaded my 2019 LTZ Z71 with 17k miles on Saturday for 41k to Carmax. Carvana only offered 39.4k. After four window leaks, issues with 1-2 shift slam when cold, and random electrical anomalies, it wasn't worth keeping.

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.

What did you get for a replacement?

Trade and cash-buy offers are changing weekly right now. A lot of it depends on the residuals dealers are getting passed down to them, and a lot of that data changes with the rebates on NEW vehicles. It's all interconnected. 

 

I bought my 2019 RST 5.3L CC Z71 for $43K in March 2019 ($54K MSRP). Last KBB I did on it was $42K, and I think I could get close to that on trade, from what my buddy who owns a dealer told me. I have 15K miles. 

 

Bottom line is... trucks are depreciating very safely right now. If you got a good deal when you bought, you should be doing well.

But when the time comes, it'll probably be a Tundra.

Well she's gone and paid off now. Carvana was a great experience. Paid cash on the barrel for a 2006 ford escape, feels much better to own it and be out from under that debt. The ford needs a few things, it won't be my forever car, but if I can get 2-3 years from it I'll be happy. 95k miles, needs all of the front ball joints, tie rod ends, sway bar links. 3.0 v6 so it needs a front bank valve cover gasket (oil weepage). Other than that just the typical ford rust. Wifes car, and my mortgage are the only debt left. Really can't wait to not owe anyone anything. Wish I would have never got this Silverado honestly.

I have a 2019 RST 4x4 with the 5.3 and paid $43k for it - MSRP was $53k. That was two years ago. Ford dealership offered me $42k for it just now.

Same exact #s here. 
 

Starting to look at trading mine for a 21 AT4 Carbon Pro 3.0L. Good incentives this month.

Being debt free is the best feeling ever.  (next to marrying an awesome woman) Enjoy your freedom.

The average new car price now is around $40,000.  Given how much more expensive things are now.. having adjusted for inflation, and given the low number of new vehicles available on dealer lots until production returns to normal, used car prices are at a premium.  If you want to sell, NOW is the time to do so.  If you want to buy.. NOW is NOT the time to do so.  Don't expect many if any end of year deals for 2021 models or any huge manufacturer rebates or deals this year.

new trucks cost same as used ones is what ive been finding. if not going to high volume dealer or someone who can match them than prices are crazy.....

 

given that i can sell mine for what i paid i get same on back end.....i bought a 2019 for 36k ( MSRP 48k or so)  a new elevation is 42k but my existing truck that should be 35-37k is worth 42-43k...more if i sell it private.......so i guess its a wash, but used in my area is crazy high....can get new one for same as used 2020 or 2019.....

 

i bought a 2500 back in april when deals were good and financed the whole truck so basically just rented it for a year.....and inventory is crazy low on HD....just not using it as much as i thought, but if i was to take huge hit i just keep it, not worth it otherwise......

 

if i could just sell mine and ride it out i would but i need a replacement.....so its either used or new and seems new is about the same.....very similar to even back to last summer.....except my truck shot up another 3k

 

crazy world

If it were something that I absolutely needed, it would be different. I got it just to keep up with the Jones'.. owing as much on my truck as I do on my house just rubbed me the wrong way after the "honeymoon" wore off of the truck (after the first week..)

I will, if everything goes as planned, we can be done with everything by the end of 2021. Short of another mortgage when we move, I hope to not have debt again.

Was the $42k trade allowance or cash value? Dealers like to play games with the numbers and wording. Ask them if they'd write you a check for the truck right now at $42k. If they won't, it was a "trade allowance".

It's still too similar to the 2019, I am waiting until the 2022 refresh. Ford decided to keep the cheap plasticky dashboard. At least Chevy's more stylish.

      Doors lock and mirrors fold in while driving

      By BIGBOYS · Posted

      I have a 2015 Silverado and sometimes I can not get in to the truck. I use the key to unlock the driver door. Something is locking the truck when I unlock it, last night I left the truck open and this morning it was locked with the mirrors folded in. This happens while driving so it is now a safety issue. I reach down for the folding button and they open, then they close again.  Any advice, thank you,   Ed

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      tl; dr I've now reached the 6th floor of hell. I'm chronicling my journey for my morning readers.   Pulling the top of the intake apart was moderately easy but it involved a lot of parts, connections, and minutae. I was preparing for the new fuel lines to arrive ("nut and bolt kit" it's called). The fuel line connections are notched and held in place by the manifold and a metal plate with a T27 screw.   It's on the back of the intake, under the firewall, with little clearance, and two hard metal fuel lines in the way. I was using Franken-tools (weird combinations of 1/4 inch ratchet with/without an extension, with a bit holder for my T27) to get in there. One of my sockets and bits fell off and has yet to emerge on the floor. I lost a second setup and that's when I almost started throwing tools. But that was the point at which I had gotten traction on the Torx head, and it promptly stripped. No more traction.   I started humming "1-877-kars-4-kids" because I was about at that point. You know what? I'm $1500 into this thing and I can make it disappear just as quickly. This isn't fun anymore. I had spent a lot of time already "tidying" around the engine bay: Fixing all the "someone's been here before!" BS. The truck has been exclusively dealer- and shop- serviced and I'm reminded of why I never let other people work on my cars unless absolutely necessary.   Speaking of dealer service. This truck has a 1" stack of records going back to 1995. I put them all in an excel spreadsheet, date/mileage/description.   The CPI spider has been replaced 4 times in 85k miles. The EGR? Another 4. Multiple, multiple O2 sensors. One Cat. 4? Sets of plugs and wires, and I swear half the stack is diagnosis paperwork for "misfire, runs rough, extended crank, dies at stoplights".   GM was producing some proper crap back then. And it was still well within the era of brittle/crappy plastic. (Windows 95 was released the same month this truck was sold new, we HAD the technology!!)   There (was) a plastic shroud around the evaporator core and HVAC fan in the engine bay. I noticed a chunk of it missing so I poked at it some more and it literally shattered. Touched it some more and pieces were crumbling off. Had a good laugh. Clearly whatever plastic garbage they were using had broken down over 30 years and was literally turning to dust. That was a good half hour of using a shop vac to remove the rest of it.   Back to it.   I was going to give up for the evening but then decided I'm already level 10 pissed off at the stripped screw: G* D* it, give me my tools back -- and my JOY. We'll do this the hard way: The whole intake is coming off.   Blazer won Round II. After finally finding and accessing the 12 intake bolts and using a pry bar to unseat it from the heads, it popped loose in an explosion of gunk and grime raining down into open ports. Awesome.   6 times I reminded myself: Be careful of the temperature sender on the front of the intake.   YEAH, I forgot again and snapped it clean off in the removal. Add another $20 to the ever-growing list of new parts this thing is consuming.   The shame is, long before removing the intake, I had changed the oil in prep for Tuesday's momentous fuel line replacement that was going to be the magic fix and I'd have a running Blazer to tool around in this next weekend. The intake removal, including raining gunk, also gushed dirty coolant all over the valley. Of course it did. Welp, there goes another $35.   I now need an intake gasket set, bolt set, coolant temp sensor, another 5 quarts of oil, some RTV. Don't worry, I've already got 3 new jugs of Dexcool and a thermostat waiting. I'll fill it with clean water first to get it running, dump it, and then add the Dex later on in case... well, let's not go there. I'm only tearing this down once, next time the truck is going on Marketplace for FREE.   Oh, and I'm going to need vacuum hose for all the stupid connections placed at the rear of the engine which have since disintegrated. Come on, GM....tell me you don't do that anymore?   Oh, and the ears on the distributor where the cap screws down are both cracked. I mean, why not put a new distributor in it too. You get a distributor, YOU get a distributor, Everyone gets a new distributor!   This truck isn't out of the woods yet...I'm already questioning how much more time I'm willing to sink in.

      Bent valve in 2025 GMC Canyon Denali - Requires engine swap at 14K miles

      By William Aldrich · Posted

      NewDude, thank you for the suggestions!    I did follow up and the dealer indicates he has an open CX case and is working with DPAC (Dealer Parts Assistance Center).   Per the dealer, GM has had a quality spill and is not providing an update for when a replacement engine will be available.
