1/2 ton sticker shock
Found out last night that a co-workers '15 Chevy's tranny let loose on him due to some kinda design flaw (at least that's how I took it). Has something like 160K miles. So he talks to the Chevy dealer...

Interesting replies gang and lots of varied ones at that. I have no idea of his credit score or exactly what he was looking at......heard everything 2nd hand, but reliable 2nd handers. Not that I'm in the market for another truck, but was thinking along the lines of most of the replies that pricing should be more in line of 50-60K. Not knowing his finances either, am thinking his current truck is paid off. Will ask him again tonight if he's shopped around or not and tell him to look for ones that can be had for much less. Lives in the capital district area.
Along the lines of a few replies, I feel as well for the amount of $$$ he was stating for a 1/2 ton, better off w/ a 3/4-1 tonner, but his needs tho don't match it. Most would probly agree that the 3/4-1 tonner would be the way to go, but we ALL HAUL heavy things that require such trucks. For him, it's a daily commuter ride.
