Yes, he needs a modern full size truck but let's show him 1953 F-100s.

If they were to discount this one more i really like the GMC and have had a couple just like it. Might just call them and offer them 36k cash out the door for it and see if they want to move it.

Talk to John Harrison at Liberty...
I bought an Acadia in 2012 from them and felt I was treated very fairly.

I just bought a 2016 Silverado 2500HD diesel crew cab 4x4 for 42800 out the door.

I have not bought a truck for awhile and seems prices have went way up anyone buy a truck lately? Any thoughts on out the door vs MSRP?

Been a bubble for years. Not seeing it end soon although I keep hoping. A used Duramax has actually gained value in the last five years.

2016 Colorado with Diesel pulls 7700lbs and gets 30mpg highway. I paid 38k for the Z71 loaded with everything I wanted.

My 15 4x4 quad cab regular bed Z71 has reached 26 mpg highway in the mountains here when I was really trying, average is 19-21.

Have gotten 43+mpg in the Z71 colorado diesel on the hwy... Hit high 20's city driving...that adds up (got the truck in March and have over 30,000km on it)
It works out to about $65 Cdn to drive around a 1000km

That's awesome...up here loaded, out the door with $4700+ off i was still at $57,000+ Cdn.
I agree you have to WANT a smaller truck to pay those prices though... Plan on trading in on a ZR2 in 2018...

It was one of the specially designated high discount offers given by Chevy to get rid of the 2016 models.

I know the GM of the dealership and had him set the discount on the exact truck I wanted. It's good to have connections.

I felt guilty when I went thru F&I as the dealership normally makes a small profit with financing. I paid with my credit card, wanted the miles. Not only did they not get the financing, they had to pay the credit card processing fee.

Ha Ha... you did well all the way around.

I got bored while waiting on the new Camaro so thought I'd take advantage of the 16 deals and they had a list on a white board of all the designated trucks. I picked one not on the list and due to having supplier pricing they were able to make the deal just like the discounted ones. Still only got 16% off and quite sure I could have done better.

In the big scheme of things, none of us saved anything. We still spent a boat load of money.

I enjoy spending my kids' inheritance on the things I want. Good thing I don't have any kids.

So True... if I get a decent trade in number I may even do that at the ZL1 purchase to save taxes and then shop for a 17. Just so glad to get rid of the Colorado.

Off topic but I'm looking at getting a new truck as well. I currently dd my 2016 platinum 4x4 Tundra I owned for 5 months but just hasn't grown on to me yet. I need (want) a 4x4 diesel 3/4 ton. I'm not brand loyal so idc who makes it. Looking strongly at a new Dodge mega cab 4x4 Larimie longhorn cummins. They are just a hair more than a loaded gas 1/2 ton. I've heard both good and bad things on the 6.7's but so far it looks like the route I'll go sometime next month.
