Keep the truck, and **** the rest!

I know you won’t get back all the money you upgraded the truck with, but some people are looking for trucks that have been upgraded like this.
If I was living in the US, I would be looking for a lifted truck with all that good stuff on.
The truck look awesome!

So what you're saying is-

My Yukon is worth about 2 thousand dollars, and you need my address?

I don't understand...

But am curious why my exact location matters?

:popcorn:

Your Yukon is worth more than 2k, but not what you are asking for it. (At least most of America will not pay your price and you are obviously not in Finnland).


No, I do not need your address, I just find it funny that you are making such a big deal about it is all.

But I wish you best of luck with your sale. You just may find the enthusiast who does want this truck and pay for some of the upgrades.

Ever notice most of the guys selling their trucks go back to stock. Is usually for a reason.

The America
a) the NBS is dime a dozen reason price is low
B) you limit the target buying audience with the lift.
C) you have a. xL and they are simply too big for the majority of society.
D) people see 220k and run.

Now most of us here know these motors maintained see 300 k all the time. But majority of society buy used cars on the old mindset of it it is 100k+ it is headed to the scrap yard.

It is a shame that so many people still think with the 1980s mindset if 100k being a dead car and a 200k being a semi truck.


One thing you can do is divide your miles by hours of operation to get your average speed of the life of the truck. This is one thing I always look at when buying a car. Because this will prove if it was hwy or a crap ton of city time.

I have a family friend that puts 80-115k on a car each year. He is 100% hwy. I would buy a truck off him with 300k in a heart beat knowing it is all 70-75mph cruising and maintained on scedual.

But remember people see this. 220k XL gas guzzle CA high fuel costs and it's long. All elements that are not appealing to Sanfran residents and a majority of society.

I would place a sale price of 12,999 OBO as this is higher than book but relative to the upgrades. Now this is a price that an appreciative buyer would look at. Average soccer mom. Is going to be 7-9k. This is the sad reality as I can grab Denali XL at auction for 6.25 with 150k on it (uncle bought on last week)

When I purchased my Tahoe a couple months ago there was an XL in Vegas that had 106k with many of the same mods you have (no rear battery box, but dual user the hood), and it had new 37's on 17 beadlocks. If I remember correctly it was listed for $4500.

Looks like its official, it's gonna stay in the family until it becomes a lawn ornament. I did have a guy offer me 10k around 6 months ago, so I guess it's all in the eye of who wants it most. Probably should've taken the offer back then, but oh well.

2 months from now ill be the proud owner of 2 full size gm SUVs. A new black Z71 and one that my friends (you guys) say is worth just a bit more than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick... I know which one will always stay my favorite though!

Why do you not just list it and see what happens? No harm done in that and you will quickly find out if there are any interests.

It is also skiing season and some may just want it to head on up to the mountains.

Try it and see what happens, especially if you are in a position where you can just keep it.
