New truck, good deal?
    #22380033 - 10/14/15 06:12 PM (8 years, 3 months ago)

I'm looking at buying a new vehicle since my truck is on its last leg. I have always liked the 2000-2005 style of the Silverado so I was browsing the dealerships in town and they have a 2003 Silverado 1500 4x4 with 138k miles. I talked to one of the sales people and the list price was at $11,991 and over the 45 minutes I was there I got the price down to $10,700. I told him I have to think about it (hoping he comes down a little more) and I'll call him this weekend.

Do you think $10,700 is a good price for that vehicle?

Why is it a shit deal?

Holy shit, 11 grand for a 13 year old car with high miles?

Look around tons more or go to craigslist. KBB any car you buy

that's a huge rip off


They know they'll NEVER sell it for that much unless it has some incredible mods or something done to it


I would offer 5 grand MAX, and when they say no walk. 3 days later they'll call you and offer it for 7.



According to KBB that car with those miles goes for around 4500 in mint condition

well most dealers carry a 30-45% mark up on the cost + recon of the vehicle, typically that year make model, will take 1500 +- to recondition and put it back safely on the road.

if you do the math on that, you are looking at around 3200 (trade in for the vehicle) + 1500 (recondition of vehicle) + 30-40%

if you are going to buy that truck i would wait till the end of the month, ask the sales guy how their month is doing, if he says not so good or any variant of that thereof i would offer them 6900 and settle at 7500

anything about 7500 for that truck you are getting taken for a ride.

Well this is a huge eye opener lol. I have never bought from a dealer before. I knew they marked up their vehicles but not $4,000 over.

I still wouldn't pay more than 5000-6000 for it. It's worth the extra grand not to deal with the retards on craigslist

The dealers buy these cars for nothing at auctions. Guaranteed they didn't pay over 1500 bucks for it.

dude, you are forgetting that, used cars dont always come from an auction.

i used to run a used car lot for a gmc dealership.. the price i gave would be a fair offer for that truck, giving the dealership some operational cost money.

there is a benefit and a disservice dealerships supply. thats the fine line between it.

you cant take the excellent cost of a private sell kbb and compare it to a business that has done most of the work for you and compare the two. thats just bullshit..

11k is crazy tho reconditioned or not.  it is a 4x4 tho which is usually highly desired.  it would go for like $3-5k on craigslist, but then you'd most likely have to put new brakes, brake lines, sparkplugs, oil change, radiator flush, differential fluid check, tranny fluid change, prolly some shit with suspension or control arms, depending on where you live your fuel tank will almost be rusted through. 

but a dealership well you kinda gotta trust that they did all that shit and they most likely didn't.  almost all the stuff ive bought from a dealer like big dealerships, about 6 months later they fall apart on me.  my last one had a leaky light on the roof, was a slow leak in the corner, ruined my leather seats.  Then few months later the tranny leaks, at least supposedly.  when i crawled under it, it was leaking from above the tranny like from the engine somewhere, but the dealer said it around where the wires go into the tranny supposedly......they sounded full of shit to be honest and the fluid wasn't even red.  pretty sure the light thing is still leaking tho....fucking fords

anyways my points is dealerships are worse than craigslist at this point don't buy shit from them its all overpriced and they fuck you hard on tradeins.  i had a car that booked for 6.5k nothing wrong with it, they only offered 1k trade

genuine dealerships do the work.  the ones i worked at did. 

at the end of the day, you still bought a used car.  and many times, different driving habbits will cause a car to fail differently.

oh and ford did have a tsb about the transmission electrical connector sleeve leaking. on some models.

and yes, sometimes a tech will lie to you to cover his own job.

and i think 11k for that truck is asinine, but given all the details in this thread, and knowing a little about op position, getting into a used truck thats worthy from a dealer just aint going to happen.
