I'd be hard pressed to spend $23,500 for any of the big three 03 trucks. That seems to be about twice retail.
Edit: Oops! Spoke too soon. Looked up the blue book on that truck. That the price they show. Still NO way would I pay that for an 03. Much newer more powerful trucks available for that price. Bet no dealer would even come close to that for trade in value. Must have some special niche on the market that I'm not in.
I was offered $20,000 for my 2005 the other day from a dealer. I was not there to buy. He was going to give $20,000 straight up.:W Me and the DW laughed about it. Got the tax bill the other day also (:S) and the value went up again. Three years in a row it has went up. Valued the same as it was 4 years ago. The DW is taking 4 years of tax slip to the courthouse today and going to try and tell them there is no way that the trucks value has went up 3 years in a row. I told her to let me know how that works out. HAHAHA!!!!
When we purchased our 05 we didn't pay anything near that price from a dealer and the truck had less than 120k miles.
