No dice on the truck. I called the owner to buy it on Sunday and they had traded it in on Friday. I asked how much they got on trade and they said $22,000. I assumed the dealer just played with the numbers on the new vehicle. I go to the dealer assuming he has $18,500 at most in it. It was on his lot for a couple of days. Offered $21,500 (cash deal, no trade) out the door. He said that did not come close to covering what he has in it. Did not even counter. I was surprised it that far that he did not counter. The search continues...

Question-I was working the salesman who sold the owner a new car. When I arrived he pushed me to a new truck. Did not seem real interested in showing me the used truck. He did not even take my offer to the used car mgr. Am I just getting road blocked by a new car guy. Any value in talking to the used car mgr?

Deepv - 3/4 ton won't work for me. It won't fit in the garage.

You seem interested in the truck - what's the harm in trying? Nothing ventured, etc.

The Chevy dealer would not go for it. Wanted 24K + taxes and tag. Found an 07' GMC Sierra SLT 4x4 with 20 inch wheels. 22K miles. Private seller. 23K. No sales tax on private sale in GA. Truck is in perfect condition.

Nice ride. So have you given it a test tow yet? I pull my smaller boat (22') with the same 5.3L engine and at about 5200 lbs. (best guess) I wouldn't want to pull anything heavier with my Avalanche, but I am relatively new to towing so take that into consideration.
