So Im looking at buying another truck soon.. My son will be driving soon and I plan on having him use my 1999 Silverado... I was looking at a 2017 LTZ 1 owner truck with 40K on it... I found the truck on marketplace back in Sept and talked to the owner about it ( garage kept, Fluid filmed since new, well maintained, mobil1 every oil change , highway miles , trans was flushed in August and has no issues..etc)... He decided not to sell it at the time and I found out later  that he sold it to a  dealership a few months later in November and its been there since... back in November I went out to test drive it and the truck was in exceptional condition, probably the nicest one I have seen for its age. and due to the undercoating since new, there is no rust what so ever under it.  At the time i offered the dealership $1500 under their asking price and they wouldnt do anything, but now since its been sitting they have come down on the price, but im wondering if its worth the $43K they are asking vs buying a new one...I know this time we are living in buying a vehicle is crazy, but I also feel that as time goes on , the 2017 may depreciate faster than a 22, even though I would be paying more initially..I really prefer the look of the K2 models over the T1 and  I know what i should do is wait until prices stabilize, but I am one of those people who really do not like the new interior or exterior  look of the refresh models ...For me the less technology that goes into a vehicle, the better.... The 22 lTD has a nice simple interior that gets the job done without being over complicated with giant screens and digital everything...

 

So, would buying a 5 year old  2017 with 40K on it for 43K and no warranty  be a better deal than a 22 LTD for 60k and full warranty ??

Hi Jeff,

Without seeing the truck, this is an opinion with very few details. That being said, question always boils down to what are you going to do with the truck? 
If I was buying a daily, this truck would have too much premium. $43K will be depreciating with every mile, arguably if it actually is worth the premium in the first place.

 

If you have plans to collect it because of your desire to own one of the last models you appreciate, then by all means a new one will never be that one.  
 

But, best value will be a new one which comes with the inevitable upgrades, dealer support, and resale value that the 17 will have a hard time supporting. If you're already at $40, mercilessly beat up a dealership for the best buy possible and go for it.

 

If you're looking at a RCSB all these comments are mute.  Scarce and guys selling know what they got.  Good luck.

Well, this is going to be my "daily" if you will... Since the pandemic, my company shifted to a work from home policy, we went back for a few weeks, then management decided that we could stay home and work if we so desired. So with that being said, i really dont put alot of miles on , I would say at most roughly 5-7k miles a year is all I put on , so while its my daily, I dont drive alot.

 

Also, I really have no desire to "keep up with the Jonses" and get something new every 3 years or so... I generally keep them as long as i possibly can..10+ years as long as they dont start rotting out...

 

these are crew cab trucks im looking at, so theres room for my kids

I just traded an 18 LT  for a 22 LTD LTZ that is loaded.

Prices aside it's an awesome truck. Glad I bought it.

I also don't buy used so I'm biased. 

But I'm keeping my lifted 18 for now because it's also an awesome truck .

 Thanks... What you feel is the biggest difference between the 22 and your 18?? 

 Both trucks i am looking at are LTZ as well..Both have roughly the same options as well, sunroof, heated/cooled seats etc..

The tech is the biggest difference. 

In fact I'm actually think about getting another new truck.

This one will be a High Country with all the bs you could imagine .

I'm working on a deal today

Ah Gotcha... yeah, I could care less about the tech stuff as I just dont have a need for it.. 

 

Any big differences in driveability between the two?? To me it seems the 19+ doesnt seem as wide as the K2s

I recently bought the 2018 over new primarily because of price and “concerned “ quality due to pandemic blow-back. Blow-back meaning layoffs, supply chain/inventory (chips, etc), quality of detail, other cut-backs. None of which were major concerns before the pandemic “crisis “.

      Aftermath of Repair of Leaking Brake Line

      By unit731 · Posted

      Thanks for response. Leak was right under drivers seat or thereabout.   Had checked by other mechanics and have read other information.   The solution can be a tad complicated and replacing multiple parts And with some.  The issue was still the same.   The brakes do work.   Just that the pedal is softer and goes further down.  But the brakes do work.

      Breaking News!    I'm going to tell you that I'm going to tell you.  Then I'm going to tell you what I'm going to tell you.  Then I'm going to tell you.  Then I'm going to tell you what I told  you.  Then I'm going to tell you what I'm about to tell you on the other side of the break.  Then we're going to break. Then I'm not going to tell you what I told you I was going to tell you.  But I'll tell you something else that is Breaking News just coming to the desk that everyone reported on yesterday.  Then I'll tease a human interest telling I'll get to on the other side of a larger break. Then I'll tell you one item in 20 seconds and go back to an even longer break. Longest break of the night.  Then I'll tell you a fluff piece that takes 10 seconds and sign off into a three minute break while you wait for the next 30 minutes of rinse and repeat on the local news.    In al you'll get about 12 minutes of something, 5 minutes of which is worth hearing in a 30 minute show and 18 minutes of advertising at a sound level twice as loud as the news.    Of course you can switch to cable news and hear 12 different people tell the same four stories in much the same format as the Network News for 20 hours of which the majority will be advertising.  And four hours of late night Specials about things you wonder why you stayed up to listen to. Half of which will be repeats.....   OR you can go for a drive

      Audio Dampening and quiet

      By Afennell19 · Posted

      Did you ever figure this out? My 2022 Trail Boss, and now my 2026 LT did this from time to time.  I believe it was more connected to Android Auto and my phone being the cause. Maybe try going for a drive, sans cell phone.... and see if it happens?

      2026 Sierra 1500 Denali - Sound upgrade?

      By Afennell19 · Posted

      I have a 2026 Silverado LT, the non bose as well.  Upgrading the door speakers is pretty straightforward. You could honestly go to walmart, or Auto Zone/ O Reilly and get a set of 6x9s for the front, and 6.5s for the rear. You do also have to get some adapters for each, but they are like $10 a pair on Amazon. Then some plug and play harnesses that are about $10 a pair on Amazon as well.  And I would also suggest a 10 pack of the Amazon Basics sound deadening. Slap that all around the speakers and on the open metal of the inside of the door. And your golden.   I am currently doing this with my Silverado. Although I am having a bit of trouble because I am snooby I guess and bought some Alpine S2 S69c's which are 2 way components and I am having to wire from the door up to the dash....  Having never installed speakers before, its taking me just a bit to get everything correct. But if you dont buy expensive component speakers, and just some $40-$50 door speakers. You will DRASTICALLY improve the sound over these stock paper cone junk speakers. I thought my Silverado had an issue with the radio/ sound for a while.  Come to find out.  The stock speakers are just THAT SH*TTY   I cannot wait to have some decent sound in the truck   What did you end up doing?

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By newdude · Posted

      Its all automatic based on yaw sensor data.  If enough incline is detected, it engages.   My recommendation though would be to disengage it before driving off and not let it auto disengage by touching the gas pedal.  The HD trucks use the same setup as prior years, the drum in hat park brake.  But now with an electric actuator.  If you drive off repeatedly over time, it can torque the park brake shoes and can also prematurely wear them out.           Electric console shift will set the park brake on flat ground too.  Pretty sure they've got it programmed to activate every time.
