Front needs to come up a little; Zone leveling kit should take care of that nicely.

I almost started to get the idea to dump the truck for a pre-owned 1500 SLT/Denali.

Would be dumb with the trade in value of the Colorado being in the shitter and the pending unemployment in April.

How deep in the :knot: are you in terms of original purchase price and current trade value?
Paid 39, trade in number I was given was 32, threw up a little.

32 trade seems like a reasonable price. Our own :dillerman: only got 29k. So :doit: if you want out, that’s the cost of owning 40k paperweights, they ain’t
Going up in price

The mid sizers overall don't seem to be the depreciation proof assets. Looking at the used market some of the Colorados are pretty cheap

I found a diesel one for 30k and posted it here. 2017 lb crew cab with leather etc. going into cars/trucks thinking they don’t depreciate is :fullretard:

Yeah, but my sales price was quite a bit lower. I only paid $32500. 7k is a lot of crow to eat. :(
He is getting quite a bit more than you on this trade number as well. 32k... vs 29... seems fair to me especially for a non :dillerman: hookup. That 7k was gone the second he drove it off the lot, that's just how this works. You can't :plac: cars for free, it is insanely expensive. You buy a car you commit to 5-10 years. In a sub 12 month transaction especially with sales tax that expense is somewhere around 10k on the average vehicle (37K ATP)

I blame rebates.

When I got my truck, I was able to take advantage of $3500 in rebates.

Rebates are the devil for resale.
That's the name of the game, the MSRPs got inflated like crazy, so rebates bring it back down. Full sizers are inflated by 5 figures. A work truck is nearly 40k when it comes to full size trucks. Which is insanity.

Except in states that do give a tax credit on trades. Much lower in that case.
If you trade...

I usually play the game very well, my SS sedan cost me nothing, my Z06 made me 4k and there were other scenarios where I came out ahead or broke even, I understand in some situations there will be cases of drastic depreciation values but $7k is hilarious.

How much it cost me to get out of a 370z that depreciated from 44k down to 27. Still lots of room to fall have been leasing since it is cheaper for someone in my state that :plac: s

So Saturday I drove out to my dads place to install my HID kit. :truk: barelllyyyyyy fit in the garage so it was a pain in the ass to work around the bumper and get the housings out. I got the passenger side wired up for HID low beam and tested it out; light was awesome but I got a ton of buzzing from the relay harness. Looks like instead of running a full relay harness I can run can-bus adapters and run right off the factory low-beam wiring.

Wiring it up with can-bus would be way cleaner, which I would prefer. Need to look into where I can mount the ballasts a bit more too.

I put everything back to stock for the time being and ordered up some Philips upgraded H11s for now. I'll wait for a warmer day so I can keep the truck outside and take my time getting the HIDs installed right.

I too :wub: my :truk: drove it the other day to fill it up for :tits: and remembered how much fun it is.

I really think I may buy it at the end of the lease and slap a blower on it and make it my only vehicle.
