I don't know all the options yet.

4X4
Auto
Beige
under 30K miles.

Assuming nicely equipped, should I jump on it?

Can't comment on price since I've not really keep up with selling price on them...but, I really like our '05!

I dunno, it seems kinda high for some reason.

Way to expensive. I would expect 25k or so for that truck.

Let me know where you can get it for 25K. Seriously.

KBB Private Party lightly equipped puts it at a bit over $29K. Add in sales tax, etc and you come up a few grand.

I have no problem walking past and looking for something else, but out in California the prices seem to be higher.

I would expect a non-diesel 2500HD to go for 25-27 out here.

Try 30k OTD. Worst case they say no.

Is this from a GM dealer?

Kind of.

I know a guy through one of the very large dealer networks who is working with me to find the right truck at a good price.

Sorry. I forgot you're one of the west coast people. I ran KBB with a zip of 67301 and I got about 26k with the diesel for excellent private party. I call depressed market for 25k.

But you're in California, not here.

Touche.

Maybe I should move to Kansas. It seems there is disparate car pricing in California as well.

Thanks D-rod.

I do need to find out how this one is equipped. Maybe I'll keep waiting.

I know for a fact (well, i'm confident) you could walk into a dealer here with a 26.5k check in hand and walk out with an 05, maybe 06 diesel. What color would you like? LOL.

You know, for 31,500-27000= 4,500. You could fly out here, buy a truck, drive back for less than $4,500.

On second thought, I drove to Vegas from here once. That's a long drive.

On third thought, fly here, buy a truck, ship back. Pocket 2k.

D

Something like that would be feasible only the vehicles in Kansas had the necessary smog equipment for the west coast. I don't know that they are actually different anymore, but it used to be the smog equipment was different out here.

I thought diesel's were under the 50 state plan but I could be wrong. I dang sure do not live there.

That's only an issue for new cars. Once they have 7500 miles, you don't need a CA smog compliance to smog and register them.

Thanks for the info!

Its high, diesels aren't selling quite as well as they used to... So prices are taking a little dip. However CAli has its own thing going on.

Check out this site http://dieselplace.com/forum/. The site has a for sale section or you can ask on the LLY section what the truck may be worth.

Just so you are aware some Duramax's of that year had some overheating issues.

Way high. I'm looking for an 06 CC 4x4 D/A(newer motor than the 05, but not the latest smog choked one), and my price point is $25K.

Here is a nice looking one for $23,500 with only 55k miles

or 94k miles for a little more
