i have a 2005 reg cab duramax with 50,700 miles now and wanting to upgrade to a crew and i want the same color as i have now and found a 2005 with 40,000 mile and they are asking 34,900 for it. i much should i chew them down to try and get it? the only thing it dont have is cab lights but thats an easy mod.

Is it 4X4? That asking price is too much IMO. I paid $26K for my 2WD w/ 36K miles

no way man way too much. i got mine brand new for 34 otd.

yea its 4x4 and i found another one with 30,000 mile and it was exactaly the same but had steering wheel controls for 29,900 and it had a b&w hitch. but when i called it was already sold. this one is the ls model and just has cloth seats

They're on drugs. I paid $26,500 for my 03 crew cab 2 1/2 years ago with 45,000 on it, which makes it about the same age when I bought it as the one you are looking at now. It was GM certified too.

this one is certified too. they said they have had LOTS of lookers but no buyers. hmmmm i wonder why?:rolleyes:

too much. I paid $22,500.00 for my 05 crew 4x4 with 46k miles on it. If its clean I wouldn't go over 25k for it.Alan

In 05 I paid $34,900 for my 05 crew cab and it only had 600 miles. That was during the employee pricing sale.

Mine has 62000 miles on it, and I paid just under $32,000 for it the way it sits. Lift, tires, Banks, everything. The only things it doesn't have are a moon roof, and navigation. I think you could really get him to come down. Don't be afraid to walk. If he's had a lot of lookers but no takers, he won't let you leave. And if he does make sure you leave your number and offer...he'll call you.

yea on their website you can make an offer and send it but that might not work as well as in person

I have an 05 cc 4x4 48K with every option you could get that year and I paid 30K back in august. I do wish mine was certified though, just for peace of mind sake.

here is the truck
http://www.keimchevy.com/used_vehicle_details.htm?vehicleId=598d7c954046381 e01980613861e8af7

That is a nice looking truck but really too much. I could see it maybe if it had a full size bed, leather and auto climate control, rear radio controls and a Delco Bose radio but your simply looking at a nicely painted base truck with a few options. I am not trying to lowball you but I am basing it of my truck that I paid 30 for. I know if I was after your truck the most I would offer is 28000. That is fair and they are still making a few bucks.

yea i hear you i bet they only gave the poor duffer 28,000 for trade

I bet they gave him alot less. Look here:

Just fill in the blanks, and it will give you the value. Shouldn't pay over $27k certified according to them.

I agree; they're asking way too much. Get a loan from your bank for the amount you're willing to pay, then walk in the door and wave the check under their noses. Money talks, and if you walk in with talking money (rather than offers), they're more likely to listen (especially if they're getting lookers but no offers from anyone else). But you also have to be willing to walk out the door if they don't take it.

Just my 0.02.

April '06, LT model loaded, 32k on odometer, a few minor blemishes, Furd car lot, $28k and some change. December '07, 78k on odometer, both front hub bearings replaced, minor mods, more blimishes from parking lots, gravel trucks, etc., would'nt take $40k for it.

Offer them $1k plus your truck. I bought my LT CC for $37k with no miles in May '05.

You allways take a beating trading in , I traded the SS in on my 05 Loaded 33,000 minus 22 for the SS

I paid 33,500 a year ago for my 05 LT CC LB 4x4 with 18,000 miles.

hey thanks for all the replies i am still on the fence. i might miss my long bed for farm use but could use the extra seats.

I just payed 31 for a 05 LLY with 41K on it and completely loaded except leather. You're getting ripped IMO.

azduramax04, how many times have you mortgaged your house to fill that 56 gal tank?

Ya it does suck when the fill up time comes. I can go over 950 miles though! I think of it like this. If i'm driving 2000 miles, it will take the same amount of cash weather I have a 26 gal tank or 56 gal. I just dont have to stop as often. So its the same amount of money either way.

Oh and to answer your question, 4 times man.

I love my cc but I agree that is way to much for that truck, look at mine I payed 32k for min as it sets lifted and every thing that was almost a year ago now.

I just bought my 2004.5 LLY CCSB LS 4X4 w/ 93,500 miles for $21,000. They're asking too much.
