Buying new truck but what truck is the better deal?

Unless you can inspect them or have a reliable person do that you are buying a pig in a poke. Value is determined by your needs, vehicle condition and the local market. You have to determine which one would better fit your needs then do your research.

The truck that matches best with your TT or 5er.

Trucks in question are a 13 Sierra SLE 3500HD SRW extended LB cab with 60k in miles and price of 30k

Second truck is a 15 3500HD SLE SRW Double cab same as the Ext cab LB with 118k on its clock with a price tag of 36,500

Both trucks are out of state and I am in ca ...what would you do?


Thanks

118K on a 2015 is a lot of miles is a short period of time. Must have been used for commercial work/delivery or some such service.

I assume these are 6.0 liter trucks. I don't think that motor really cares about the miles, but the price on the '15 should be in the lower 30's in my view for an SLE with those miles. All things being equal, I think the interior of the '15 and the exterior handle on the excab would make that truck more desirable. However the price is too high in my view for that trim level with those miles.

SOrry about that but both trucks are duramax powered and yeah the 15 was a rental from enterprise .... and I’m in ca and both trucks are in another state so don’t really have a way to check em out ... last truck that was totaled because of a dam ball joint made it 381k and still ran like a raped ape sun or shine and I bought it off eBay only seeing pics I just hope I can get lucky againg??

I wouldn't mess around with out of state unless it's a heck of a deal and so far not seeing that here.

Well maintained and not abused, they can do a lot of miles but you haven't given us enough info to know if that's the case. That's why going to see the truck first makes sense.

The new body and interior is nice, but a LML is a LML. I'd have to take the older one with half the miles.

Why do you say you have no way to check them out? Are the airports closed in California?

Spending that kind of $? Invest in some due diligence and fly out to the trucks.

If the '15 was a rental truck, I'd be awful leery of it based on users who probly didn't know a thing about diesels.

Hmm an airport whats that? I do have a career so just getting up and leaving because my truck was suddenly totaled doesnt leave me with a lot of time to fly to separate states at a moments notice but like I said my last truck went almost 380k and it was also bought online never seeing it but that time there was no other truck to compare it to. So the 15 was a rental to a fleet company with every service record you can think of the 13 im not sure about it and lastly what would you guys call a good deal if you were not seeing one here or what would you offer for either ? just trying to get some help from some that may see one as a better way to go then the other , both trucks will be deleted and tuned ect and both will serve the same purpose dragging a big toy hauler around and whatever else....
