I plan to keep my 2008 2500hd a long time. Only 32k miles.
Your horse has more miles...
I plan to keep my 2008 2500hd a long time. Only 32k miles.
My 2003 GMC 2500HD with 217K miles was a great truck but it was starting to show it's age. Trailer lights were not working, had to have the fuse block replaced. While I was at the dealership this caught my attention. Dealer offered me $10,000 for my 2003 so I traded it in. Of course I get the hand me down truck, Momma gets the new truck.
I was surprised GM is not offering much in the way of cash off or special financing. I get supplier pricing through work which cut $5K off MSRP. Since the Fed has started raising interest rates and is promising to keep raising them I did not want to wait.
I would consider trading my 08 Duramax with 163KMS, except I am not crazy about the new interior styling, and wish they would offer it without the center console. A total waste of space, if you ask me. I am also not crazy about my leather and wish they would bring back nice color and textured fabric seats! Not like a plastic tablecloth!
Congratulations on your new truck. Is this also a 2500? Will you use it for towing? Do you have a 5th wheel trailer or are you bumper pulling trailers?
Looking at the prices of new, or not too old used, trucks and I wonder who in the heck has money for these things! List price for a replacement of my current truck is over $60,000! :shocked: A few years ago I was looking at a Jeep with a diesel and it's price was just as bad. :confused2:
Me thinks this is my last truck, certainly it will be my last diesel truck, at these prices. Maybe get a gasser but even a F150 is still pretty danged expensive!
