[duramax hd]

My father and I share a name here. I have spent a lot of time on this site day after day of research and reading, hoping that one day I to will own a duramax. Well the time may have come. My dad is looking to sell his truck for a knew duramax and I really want to buy it from him. My question for you guys(and Gals) is what you think shes worth. Here she is:

2001 silverado CC/SB-roughly 46,000 babied miles-Look for the sig for mods-The exterior is immaculate to this day, I was the trucks car taker for the past 4 years so I know every imperfection with this truck-The truck sits for most of the winter months and is not driven in inclimate weather/rain(with the exception of a few times)-I know all the service records on the vehicle because I did it myself-it did tow a fifth wheel a handful of times but thats about it.

What do you guys think shes worth. Like I said, I really would like to make this work but I need to know what realistic number to bring to the table when it comes time to talk money.

Ide say 18-20k.

Tell ure dad you'll give him ten grand for it, and you'll wash and maintain his new one for him! ...Hope he goes for it!

 

[duramax hd]

I dont know that he will go for that Mike. Is it out of line giving 20k for it?

 

[SmokeShow]

Not in my opinion. That is a low mileage, seemingly well kept and taken care of vehicle. If I were shopping, I'd probably buy at that price. (Gave a little less than that for the truck in my sig with ~79K miles, though)


Good luck

Knowing the history of the truck as well as you do is worth a lot, that is if you intend to keep it for a while.

get youer dad to go to a couple of deaiers and get a price on it foryradein or blue book price then give him a thuosad or two more. you know the truck so you know if thier are any problrms with it, and youer dad should have better barganing power with no trade in . just my 02 worth

although getting a KBB price nowadays is like throwing a wet dog 6 feet( just made that up )

 

[DIESELMAN75]

[NODMAX]

Let the dealer low ball him on trade in, and then offer him that amount.

 

[Majuba Max]

its worth a fewmore dollars then that he knows the history of the truck
