I like the Frontier. Just realllllly dated at this point and IMO not enough of a discount vs other trux.
It's dirt cheap from an 'other trux' standpoint.

My nearly loaded Pro-4X had an MSRP of $33k. Paid $30k.

My Colorado stickered for nearly $39k. Paid $32.5k.

My motivation was that I hated dealing with the Nissan dealer experience. :dislike:

My Chevy dealer has been great so far.
$2500 ATP more isn't much when you consider the Colorado is up to date and the Frontier is stuck in 2005.

Yet it isn't measurably worse :doe: same off road/performance specs, load/tow ratings etc. That entire segment is essentially ancient :aintcare:

Colorado is a nicer place to spend time because the interior is up to date, as such if I were buying new it would get the nod for the measly $2500 extra.

Oil changed every 5k... price is reasonable enough... If you can get it at 35k OTD it would be a great :dill:

Personal use truck Bought, serviced and being sold certified all from same dealer.

[user not found] pointed out the miles and time on the lot as being negatives but I think I can deal with that. It is a used vehicle.

What is wrong with the miles ? 2 years old and 21k miles... seems in line?

Seems like a CPO vehicle... decent warranty. 21k miles is little doesn't matter if it was put on in a month or in 10 years. Proper service records suggest this is a good deal.

You could be my twin. I've got a 2017 Laser Blue ZR2. Not that it matters, but Laser Blue is a super rare color on ZR2...might end up being the rarest. Was only available from Apr 17-July 17. Less than 1,000 were built.

So apparently 1.9% is only on Silverados.

I spoke to the diller and just straight up asked him "it's been on the lot 2 months, whens it going to the auction?" He laughed and said it's 4 wheel drive season.

Told him I couldn't look at it until next weekend and he indicated there is some room to move on price.

Can't go wrong with that truck I don't think but I have no reason to rush. There are plenty out there. But blue is the preferred color and the details seem 💯

You should be able to get around 2.9 from any cu for 36 months. 1k a month tho... which is what it costs to get something this nice

You want it as shitty as possible and obviously he has a low monthly, which suggests a high residual or high discount initially.

Meaning in September of 2019 you can buy it for 32k or turn it in?

I guess it will be cherry but not a smoking deal at that point.

Right.

I'm probably just going to turn it in and lease a Whorange one.

I went today and saw a Z71 with the midnight package and it looked pretty sweet.

All these deals online include GM family discounts and lease loyalty discounts. It's impossible to know what price to expect.

One dealer has new Z71s for 9k off MSRP....

Leftover 18s will be the best deals. I can hook you up with supplier pricing as well. Just holla

Is that an atlas with the back roof chopped off ? Which would make it a raised golf that has been blown up by 50% :disgust:

Yea, I wonder how many would. Kind of like the Ridgeline, it's perfect for most truck buyers, yet nobody wants one.

I do think the VW looks WAY better than the Ridgeline, but it's still a longshot volume player.

So with the deviating color c pillar it looks like a Cabrio, which was affectionately known as the bitch basket. But no ladies will buy this. So.... it's a Bro Basket?

I like the idea of it. Looks better than the Ridgeline which is way too minivan esque. But yeah a raised bloated Golf wagon with the back chopped off. Would actually be pretty ideal for me I think. Too bad it's a VW.

I wonder what's happening with that Hyundai Santa Cruz concept from years ago.
