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.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By No1UKnow · Posted

      Hello All!   My 2019 Colorado 3.6 LT, 4WD Crew Cab has approximately 77,500 miles and I recently began experiencing the well-known transmission shudder between about 30 and 65 mph. The problem had worsened to the point that I could no longer attribute it to road conditions - and I had decided to bring the truck to the dealer - when recently, I experienced a sudden loss of power while driving at maybe 40 MPH. Several warning lights flashed, the “Check Stabilitrack” message appeared, and the Check Engine, Stabilitrack, and Traction Control icons remained illuminated. The truck regained driving power, but it stayed in a low gear with unusually high RPMs for the speed. (limp mode?) Because I was only about two miles from home, driving slowly, I was able to make it back and run an OBD-II scan, which showed fault codes U0101, P0700, and U0100. My next trip in the truck was to drive it to the dealer the following day. That trip began normally, but after about a mile I experienced another loss of power, along with the same warning lights and the same “Check Stabilitrack” message. As before the truck remained driveable, but again operated at an abnormally high RPM-to-speed ratio and seemed stuck in a single gear. About a mile later, the dashboard lit up once more, this time displaying “Check 4WD.” Soon after that, I arrived at the dealer. I have verified that the truck still has its original factory transmission fluid, which means it has never received the corrective fluid exchange outlined in GM Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355.  That was Thursday of last week and I've heard nothing yet from the dealer.    According to Technical Service Bulletin #18-NA-355 and the build date of my truck, my truck should have the newer LV fluid. I've done a little research and read something about a problem with the wiring harness as well.   Anyone have an insights into this situation?  Thank you!!

      Gas Prices

      By PhilB · Posted

      Did you even read this article?   Even the title of the article says "U.S.-Iran Deal Doesn’t Mean a Swift Return of Oil and Gas Flows"   Remember, crude oil prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the oil companies.  Gas prices are based on FUTURE purchases by the station.  This article stated that many of the oil producing nations have to restart their processes to get the oil produced.  Then the oil has to be shipped to wherever.  And it doesn't get there overnight.  And most of that oil is not coming here. Check out this site:  https://afdc.energy.gov/data/10621   A graph will pop up to show where the US imports their oil from.  Notice that there isn't a lot of import from OPEC and Iraq.  Most of the US import comes from Canada. The US oil produces are selling their oil on the open market, which is why the US fuel costs went up.  So you're correct, the US oil companies are going to slow walk the price downward.
