Thanks again fellas for all the opinions.   As much as I like the older Silverados 03-07 I think I would regret downgrading to one from the TB as one user commented.  I’m leaning towards buying it for $34k and I always will have option of trading in later if I desire.  I think for the price I’m getting I’ll be able to get more than that on a private sale or trade in for a few years yet.

The car pro radio show was pushing Car bingo on today’s show. He claims his car pro dealerships don’t go over MSRP. I never bought a vehicle using the service. I usually buy a leftover or CPO. I do belong and show my card for service. Dealers are protective of the rating.

Anything you buy right now, whether it be a GMT800 or another T1XX, is going to be inflated in price. Buying out your lease is the right call IMO.

I would buy the lease out if I had the cash. If no cash, trade it and buy an older truck. My goal would be no payments.

Yes the best is if you can sell it yourself.

To me the whole point of leasing use to be the lower payment, but now there is not a lot of difference. This is a purely personal decision. Most people think leasing is crazy. 

There are a lot of great used trucks out there right now but the prices are overly inflated. 

Myself, I would say there is no bad decision in your case. If you really like the truck, buy it out.  If not get rid of it.

A bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush. 

 

You currently have the truck, and ownership is guaranteed if you buy it.  Ownership of any other vehicle isn't guaranteed at this time.  New and used inventories are very low in quantity and inflated in value.  Take what you currently have and keep it.  If you choose to part with it later on down the road, do so when things are back to normal.  You won't be able to get the money for it then that you can today, but at least there'd be a better chance of having another vehicle to buy at a reasonable price.  And, 100k miles shouldn't be an issue for these trucks, imo.

I'd buy it out, wait for this craziness to be over with the chip shortage and sell it outright and buy new when the time is right. 

 

Just my .02

I just bought out my 2019 AT4 today.  34K miles on odometer, extended cab... Buyout was 35K, and it booked for 54K.  I'd say I did alright.  If there was actually any stock out there that had all the features (Heated Steering Wheel/Seats etc) I'd be looking.

 

At this point I'm going to drive it and see what happens when the AT4x's hit the market

Nice.  Purchased mine too.  Your situation was similar to mine.
 

Feel like  we got good deal on similar trucks  for $35k as residual value…considering the insane market prices.  B751657B-58BB-40A1-AA39-D89CA8D555E9.thumb.jpeg.4dc914a8f0a683bd15f23afe710d2c8f.jpeg

      It wouldn’t have happened if the government hadn’t mandated outrageous fuel mileage standards. It does very little for the consumer. It adds cost. Back during Covid there was a chip shortage. They gave a rebate for your truck if it didn’t have the chip to turn on cylinder deactivation. It was 50$ because at best you may see 1/2 a mile increase per gallon. Splitting hairs each fuel mileage trick wasn’t mandated. The government doesn’t do the engineering work and say use this until it’s already in use and they like it. The fuel mileage was mandated. And those add ons the results. There’s a mandate and they are the results.

      It was never mandated.  Ever.    Automakers were incentivized to install it by getting CAFE credits to help with their vehicle fleet fuel economy scores.  They were being handed money/CAFE credits to install it.  Which is NOT a mandate.       The current admin removed the incentives that were behind them installing it.

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.
