Bought my 2017 Silverado new. Used car prices are out of control and sold it for almost what I paid new 4.5 years ago. This post is to the future owner. 

 

VIN: 3GCUKSEC1HG190764

 

If the future owner stumbles on this post, shoot me a PM. I have the window sticker, receipts for the tires from Discount Tire, some other stuff you might be interested in. It was under warranty for the duration of my ownership including extended GM platinum warranty. No warranty work was ever done. The brake booster recall was not completed. No accidents. No prior body work. 

 

To anyone looking at this truck, feel free to PM me. Tried to sell it on Ebay and Facebook marketplace. Few nibbles but no takers. I started at 43 and dropped to 41k. I sold it to the dealer to 37,500. I suspect they will list it at 44-45k or wholesale it for a quick profit. It was sold to Viva Ford in El Paso. The local GM dealer wouldnt match the price despite it qualifying to be a CPO. 

 

Have not yet bought anything to replace it. Looking for a Suburban 2500 if I can find a good one.

Seems like a good deal, at the right price:

However, @bovineplane, you're gonna have to go back to 2013 to get a 2500 Suburban.
They don't make them anymore.

You sold your truck for $45,580?!

I'd doubt that, that's retail price.
Still, kinda crazy! O_o

I’m actually thinking of selling mine as well. 2018 Silverado Z71 LT with 16,600 miles on it. 

Well, since you edited your original post to delete what I quoted earlier, if you're selling, remember, you'll have to replace it for 10K more, or so, at current prices.

I edited before you quoted lol. No pun intended. Anyway, I did a KBB Instant offer and quoted me at $39,600, but a couple Toyota dealerships kept calling me that they will offer over that if I bring in my truck for them to inspect. Im stuck now. Sounds like it would sell for what I originally got it for.

Sure, but do you really want to do that and find yourself 10K upside down in a new truck?

I actually wasn’t going to get a new car/truck. I was…I am thinking of just selling it. I work from home and hardly drive anywhere except on the weekend to do errands. That’s why miles are pretty low since I got it with only 25 miles on it.

Indeed, I had the Chevy dealership call me a few months ago to upgrade to a new truck.
I asked if they could cover the 8 grand I already put into it. (much of it dealer installed and even more I did on my own)
They mentioned I was better off with what I have. :)

Also, @BattleBorn iZ, remember, you will always need a truck, one day.
And the day you don't have it is the day you wish you did.
I used to rent a truck from time to time but after years of building big trucks back in my 20s, I knew I didn't want a rental truck anymore, I wanted my own truck and make it mine. :D

Ok now you’re making it hard for me to give up on big Red, but you’re right!! Even though I hardly drive it. I know it’s there when I need it lol!

I work 2 miles from my house, my truck rarely sees long rides, but I've used it for a number of hauling items for my home.
I'll be on a road trip to Colorado next month to help my Mom after my Dad passed away so I'm gonna put it through its paces. Gotta pick up some tool boxes and other stuff yet to discover.
You'll need a truck, one day, you just never know.

      2026 DENALI 6.2L

      By pyoung62 · Posted

      I agree with Tim.  As tech heavy as engines are these days, no way I’d be an early buyer of the new 6.6.  Of course, I bought my ‘26 Denali w/the 6.2 after dumping my Tundra with it’s defective 3.5 liter imploding engine disaster, so I’m a little gun-shy.  That said, my 6.2 has been rock solid.  I don’t drive it like I do my BMW Z4 M40i, but I don’t baby it either.  I got a V8 for a reason.  But I’m averaging 18 around town and 22 highway.  I have seen 24 highway as well when I wasn’t loaded up heavy.  Considering my Tundra with the twin turbo V6 only got 14.5 in town and 17 on the road, I’ll take the 6.2 all day, every day.  If I were you, I’d grab a ‘26 while you can.  Inventories are probably gonna start dropping and I’ll bet the deals will start looking sweeter as well.

      Can you add a 360° Cameras hard button to a 2021 Sierra?

      By ShowMeShooter1332 · Posted

      I am curious if anyone has figured out a way to add an hard button AUX or 360 Camera switch to the center row of switches. I have a 2021 AT4, and want to split the hill decent button and add a 360 camera button so that you don't have to go into the center display and locate the camera functionality, etc...   My father's 2024 Yukon XL AT4 and it has a hard button, see below. I found this thread on the Yukons, but it seems like there may not be a part number for the 2021 sierras. https://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/255339-adding-hard-button-for-camera-on-2021/ Anyone else figured this out. Seems like it would need to be a custom switch!   I am getting ready to install the auto stop/start eliminator, so would be nice to knock them out at once.     Upvote1Downvote0Go to comments

      Oil Consumption

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Through the years it hasn't been my typical method as I tried to drop oil on an engine that was hot from having been worked, however that was not always practical and had to fire up a unit and let it warm up reasonably well and drop the oil when I had the time to do it but am referring to not only vehicles but a variety of farm equipment and highway tractors etc. However on a vehicle where one is crawling under it and the exhaust is nearby to ones body and if wanting to pull the plug without danger of being hit with boiling hot oil or attempting to remove a HOT oil filter, its sure safer and easier to not have everything smoking hot and can remove the filter right away when under the vehicle and let it all drain. Of course its not the end of the world if a bit of oil stays in the engine that might have eventually found its way out, I like to get out as much as possible but any oil changes that take place in shops would rarely be sitting around for very long at all before the plug is thrown back in and filter slapped on and oil poured in and sent out the door quick like. There would be very little time spent ( assuming they even did it ) in starting the engine with oil to fill the filter, then waiting to verify the level on the stick. A good reason to check ones oil level shortly after a shop changed the oil on a vehicle just to make sure its correct and to look under for any oil around the drain plug or filter.
