1/2 ton sticker shock

I doubt there is a 1/2 ton Chevy out there that would cost $70k after incentives or rebates. If someone did pay that kind of money they have no negotiating skills.

Probably nothing to do with this, however do a search and you will see that there is a shortage of pick up trucks nation wide. Go figure, the most popular vehicle in America and we don't have them. To order one now will take a really long time to get one.

And for the same price he could get a Ram Cummins Laramie

$70k is a fully loaded 1500. You can buy a nicely equipped 1500 for $50k. Maybe less with incentives and discounts.

And at 160k mikes, it sound like the trans failed from use. Get it fixed and keep going.

he.s lucky.now he can go buy a ford.

Your coworker must have a credit score of about 500 or something.
I know a really good transmission guy who rebuilds those GM tranny's for less than $2000 beefing them up in the process, they're better than new when he's done.

It's really hard to get a 1500 Silverado up to $60K, and that's for a loaded up LTZ on Chevy's truck builder app. Add to that depending on the trim and model they have $8500 in incentives available right now and 84 month financing at 0%. You can even get about $4500 in incentives with the LTZ with the 6.2 engine?

Sounds like the stealer took your coworker for a sucker.

That dealer is all heart, he would give eight grand off on a straight sale so basically he wants paid two grand to take the old truck.
