How much is my truck worth? |
|
Ok I have done Kelley Blue book and it told me five great. Its a 2000 chevy silverado 1500 2wd 4.8l v8 280,000 miles. Its not that I think its worth more just wondering with all the extras. It runs great new fuel pump new water pump new catalyc converters flowmaster exhaust. It has a small dent on the left side in the bed and its scratched up. Inside It has an alpine deck and two bazooka 12" subs louder then you'd think and two pioneer 6"x9"s and stock speakers have been replaced with sony explods.If it assists I live in west Texas. What do you think My truck is worth?

It doesnt usually matter about all of the cool or new stuff you put on it, if your trying to trade it in you'll get less than it's worth this is because they want to purchase it at wholesale prices, because they still have to sell it again.
If you plan on selling it private party, than you may get a bit more for it, based on the people that coem to look at it, some don't care about those things, and others do, it depends on how you promote it.
As I said before, Extras don't mean a thing as far as selling a car. Sorry but they don't.. that's the hard thing about putting so much money into a car..
But I could attempt to sell it privately and see what you get.
It depends on if you're trying to buy another car from a car lot or not, because you have to remember you'll NEVER get what your car is worth from a car lot..
And they definetly don't care about the extras..
Hope this helps.
I could put it up for around 5800, so you have some room to butdge a little in the price if someone wants to bargain.
Sorry so long

Go to e bay motors and type in your yr./model in the search box, it'll show you what like trucks are bringing. you may be able to change your search to see the ones closest to you.

blue book is what your truck is worth to the bank, the market value can be more, but that depends on the customer, on occasion you may be able to get lucky and someone is looking for that exact truck and they may give you more than its worth

Well after adding up all the sound eqiup that equals to a stereo with a CD player. Ke,lley Blue Book is what every dealer could get for their stock. NADA is where its at. I saw a 2001 Silverado go across the auction block last week with 160.000 mi on it for $2800 with 4wd and a V8 350 Now if you're interested I have a 1999 Blazer with the Trailblazer interior deluxe leather PKG, overhead console,4wd, twg pkg,cd player,auto driver set remote keyless entry 75% rubber on Goodyear tires factory off road twg pkg. for $6500 on lots it goes for $7200 gets better than gas mi than a reg Blazer because of diff ratios. Has Auto 4wd or ya can set it for four hi or four lo Auto only engages when needed. it is Black and perfect, inside and out

well honestly all your extras add $0 to the worth of your truck. fuel pump, water pump, cats they are all maintenance things but they add some worth to your truck. but a half ton 2wd with the small v8 and 280,000 honestly is a hard sell at 5g. lucky yo get 3500 for it. sorry man
