By the way, I paid $300 over invoice not including the ad fee.
Now that should start a little cross-border war!

I'm sure that the workers in Canada do a good job but my wife hade a Trans Am that was made in Quebec. This car always had problems with it. One time the drivers window fell into the door when we were on the freeway. The dealer told us that the power window unit was installed correct at the factory.
Just my two cents worth!

read that and you'll be ready to buy a truck.
www.autosite.com
www.kelleybluebook.com
All these sites give you invoice pricing/MSRP & whatever options your looking to equip with.
After this your homework is done so time to go shopping.
I printed up what I wanted & queried 15 dealers with my truck requirements & told them all it's about money & whoever gives me the best deal & can GET the truck gets my business. I paid invoice for my 2000 LS 2500 2wd ext. cab shortbox & then got a $500 rebate on top of that so final price was $500 under invoice.
Good Luck

I know I could sell it myself but I don't have much experience selling a truck that I still owe on. I can't afford to make two payments for very long.
I want a new truck, can get a 3-door at invoice but don't want to take that big of a hit on my trade-in.
Have the older Chevy P/U lost their value? I traded my last one in for $14,000 with 50,000 miles and it was basically the same truck. Plus I bought the truck for a little over invoice.
Any advise on what I should expect to sell my truck for or get from a trade in would be appreciated
Thanks

things rolling quicker. Will post results. Ordered mine 3/18
This year I called the dealer and sent faxes, etc. The truck is due in 10-15 days and I haven't given any deposit, in fact I haven't even been to the dealership yet. My first visit will be when I pick up the new truck.
Dealer's choice on deposits. Some dealers don't want to special order, they want to sell what they have, others like to special order.

Sometimes you can learn from others experiences.
I offer this only in that context, something to
consider. I took delivery on a 1500LT xcab three
weeks ago. The highback leather seat is killing
me. The seat, if you are unaware of its
appearance, has a protrusion at the lower end of
the vertical back. This protrusion is below the
Lumbar section and above the point the vertical
back meets the horizontal seat. As a result of
this disaster, there is no lower back/tailbone
support. I'm good for about 50 miles before its
get out or pass out. Of course, as fate would have
it, now that I've taken delivery on the truck, I
find my complaint is a common one. Everyone, save
one, that I have talked too complains about the
seat. So far this has amounted to twenty people or
so. I am six foot six inches and weigh 260, the
non-complainer was on the short side, so maybe back
length has something to do with the lack of
comfort. There is a local seat repair place that
does warranty work for Chevy, Ford, Dodge, etc.
The establishment is new in the area, relocated
from New Jersey. The owner tells me the problem is
common. He say's he used to do between three and
five seat adjustments a week in New Jersey. The
usual case is several visits before something, if
ever, is accomplished that you can live with. At
present, I have been back five times...with Monday
as the next adjustment. The seat itself could not
be constructed in a cheaper manner. Chevy does not
use springs anymore, a series of wire and foam
padding constitutes what the seat repair folks tell
me is as cheap as you can get...hard to work with
for any decent comfort, and with a probable total
value of about $100 a seat. The leather seat back
and seat itself come off like a slipcover, the
backing of the vertical seat is 1/4 inch cardboard.
That's right folks, just like cardboard boxes
everywhere. Don't get me wrong folks, I'm a Chevy
guy from day one, having gone through many new
trucks, several cars, and two Corvettes. Never had
this sort of problem before. Customer Service at
GM reacted in a predictable manner: "What!!!, why
we never heard of such a thing!!", sorry we can't
help you out under warranty...good luck and thanks
for buying Chevy. This new truck seems to be a
fine piece of machinery...whose seat sucks. One
other observation, dealing with internet people in
buying your Truck, i.e. buy it here and I'll have
it dropped off there for you...for that $300 to
$500 over invoice does save bucks and is fine if
you don't have any problems later. When problems
appear, you will soon find yourself swinging in the
wind. Hope I've helped some, you need all the
info you can get before you invest the big bucks
necessary these days for that new rig. In the
meantime, I'll just be here making another trip to
the seat adjustment folks...and swinging in the
wind.
selling all Silverado's @$6000 under MSRP, so
selling price would be $26,637. I did the figures
on the options, and it would be $734 under the
invoice price. Did not make the deal, was unsure
about reliability of the vehicle, sure was a good
price though. Any comments from recent buyers &
vehicle reliability and quality would be greatly
appreciated.

I sure did enjoy my 2500 LS when I drove off the lot and headed home. Man what a truck, and since you have the Indigo Blue, same as I do, it's hard to keep from bubbling over isn't it.
Anyway, congradulations on the Silverado.... Enjoy in good health....
Have a nice day,
Roger.

mine is indigo blue with the charcoal interior.
i just ordered a set of bilstein shocks ($230/set incl shipping from http://www.topnotchauto.com).
the best price i could find locally for the slider was $169 for c r laurence + $60 installation. i'm gonna have them put it in when the cap arrives, a century high-c.
i only have 100 miles so far, so i can't say just how bad the gas is going to be. the way i figure, the few mpg difference for the 2500 only works out to a few 100 $/year.
enjoy your truck!
Ryan
confusion amidst the excitement.
The guy quoted me $225 for the CR Laurence slider over the phone, but when I went in he only charged me $200, $140 + 60 installation.
I have the bilstiens on my 1500. It was too wimpy with the 'Firm Ride' and no camper. The Z71 shocks were too wimpy with the camper. The Bilstiens are OK. This 2500 is not too wimpy empty, I'll wait and see with the camper.
I'm up to 158 miles.
