Value on my 06 Z-71

[Alulim]

Hey all...

just posted my 06' Tahoe up for sale locally. I started at the top end of KBB 8400 and now have it down to 7900 ... I keep getting these lowball offers. Am I just way off base on numbers here? Even with 200k on a well-maintained vehicle, it's only at 50-60% life span, no?

Link to the ad - https://raleigh.craigslist.org/cto/d/cary-2006-chevy-tahoe-71-loaded-rare/6872574287.html

Thanks in advance for any insight.

Truck looks great. Price is fine, imo. Stick to your guns. There are guys here with great insights on how to build your ad. Hopefully they will chime in with some thoughts. How long have you had it listed?

I don’t believe you’re wrong for asking that price. I personally wouldn’t drop too much lower.

People tend to ask too much for these because they over estimate the condition. Having looked at a number of them recently, I was amazed what I found. people listing their vehicle as very good condition while shocks were blown, water pump leaking, cel on, rust and dents... Not having seen yours, idk what condition it is in or if your asking price is right. Unless in a rush to sell, I would probably not change it.

my theory on pricing is to look and see what the competition is priced at, if other vehicles are being listed for $5k/6k in similar condition and your asking 8K your not going to sell, it's going to sit for a good while and your just helping others sell there's. I guess it depends on the motivation to sell as well

You got to love the perfect pictures on some of these used posts . 220,000 looks like new . Then you go look at them oil puddles everywhere . Only 1/2 the options work. The really good ones engines have nice knocks in them . And transfer case is covered in oil . Brake fluid leaks . The laundry list of problems . And post guy put up would say everything works great . Well maintained. And scratches and dents everywhere. But not in pictures online posts lol . Ya it's all pretty funny how the owner turns in to a perfect car salesman from the 80s lol [emoji106] and funny how people think there wizards editing photos to make them look perfect lol . That just pisses people right off . [emoji106] Then you wonder why guys looking ....low balls ya . No mysteries there. That's why you got to look at them . Pictures online post are just fantasy. You could call alot posts for used rigs fake news lol [emoji16]

Run the value on Edmunds to get a feel for what the buyers are looking at........(buyers love Edmunds/Sellers love KBB for obvious reasons) Maybe you can revamp your ad to make sure it has all the information needed to "check off" all the boxes on the used car valuation sites? Every car buyer is probably looking at the same basic sites to try to establish market value. If your vehicle is a One Owner unit with 100% complete service records and the body interior and exterior is flawless you need to state that clearly in your Ad. Most savvy used car buyers are looking for this type of vehicle and will pay market or more when properly presented with that opportunity.

I'm the area I love, your asking price is about where an 05-06 Escalade is at. Even though yours looks perfect, and I mean no disrespect here, but you are asking too much. When I was trying to sell my almost perfect 05 Tahoe, with some add on's and a Blackbear tune, no one would even make an offer, and I was only asking 6k with 180k on it. I think of you asked for 6k with your rare color, you'd sell it in a few days. This is Just my opinion and maybe it's different in Colorado and our used car values may be lower.

P.s.

I gave up on selling it because I love it and 2 Tahoe's are better than one I guess! Lol
I read too many fellow members on here saying how they regret selling their gmt800 Tahoe's, so I kept it. I drive my 09 more often, hoping to save up and mod it a little more.

Here in Michigan that would be a 4000-5000 truck. I feel it’s priced wayyy high. Just my opinion though. U can’t get top dollar for a 200k mikes vehicle even if these engine run forever.
