Resale value on caps it downright pathetic. I paid $1200 for mine and two years later, I only got $400 for it. I hope you get $800 for yours.

I did awfully well on a Snugtop that I had on my 2002 - 2500 Avalanche. The guy who bought my Avalanche didn't want the canopy, so I was left with it hanging in my garage.

 

Sooo, I put it in the classifieds on www.chevyavalanchefanclub.com and was absolutely diluged with inquiries.

 

I live in Oregon and I eventually sold the Snugtop to a very nice Av owner in New York state.....and he paid the air freight.

 

The Snugtop cost me $1950 and I got 1400. Not bad. Both the buyer and seller (that would be me) were both very happy, and that is as it should be.

 

 

Interestingly, I have a 2003 Chevy Silverado Z-71 EC/SB in pewter. Your canopy would be a perfect match for my truck and I surely would entertain purchasing it if you lived in Oregon or Washington. My point is that locality is a very definite issue; I found a guy who would pay for the shipping, but that was sheer luck. Most likely, your buyer is going to be in your local area. Maybe it would be good to try TruckTrader or the local Nickle Ads. Heck, even try putting a up a notice in your local grocery store might work. With a bit of hustle on your part, you'll move it.

 

Good luck in your sale.

I think it use to be that way, but with the price of new fiberglass toppers as high as it is, added to the steadily increasing popularity of them over aluminum models, the resale value seems to be better now.

 

I just sold my old Leer high-back that I originally bought new for my red "94" Sonoma, and then later had re-painted black for my "97" Sonoma. I paid $1149.00 new, and just sold it for $800.00. The new Glasstite that I have on order for my new Sierra crew cab came to a total of $1618.00.

    • This is a really late reply but I just found this thread. They won't sell the hinges. I've gone 7 rounds with them. Their solution is to buy a new cover. I'm about to buy a new cover and it won't be a Bakflip. It also won't be from realtruck.com. 
    • Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver. 
    • Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....  
    • 4 low is really nice on steep boat ramps. 
    • Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.
