Never Say Never

[Danny3737]

I know I said before I’d never sell my ride even after recently getting an unsolicited offer, but after some serious thought it’s time to let her go for someone else to enjoy. After getting my company car 1.5 years ago, I don’t think I’ve driven my Denali 800 miles. I hate to see it sitting in the garage collecting dust. It’s been unmolested except for the Sony stereo w/ Apple Car Play. It still runs and drives great and only has 115K miles on the clock. I know I’ll have sellers remorse the moment I see it driving away as I did when I sold my 2002. I think if I get anything, it will be a used Avalanche, Sierra, or Silverado crew cab, but no rush.

Damn. Can’t find those with 115k anymore. Could have kept it a few more years and had a real unicorn.

Some buyer is going to be REAL happy with that gem.

 

[iamdub]

Daaaaamn. Do want.


Either sell it to a forum member or to someone in another state where you'll likely never see it again. Tough decision.

Gonna be hard to let her go!!

You got that right. Lots of memories with family vacations, etc. Hopefully the new buyer will take care of it as well as I have. My long range plans for it once my twins got out of college were to slap a supercharger, headers, and a cam on it and maybe a mild lift with 33’s. When you have a family, it all boils down to wants and needs. Right now, I need pick up more than a SUV. It’s great to have the 3rd row when you’ve got 3 kids and a couple of dogs. I just need to rinse the dust off it, snap some pics and post it. When I sold 2002 back in 2010, I had at least 4 dealerships call wanting to buy it, but they didn’t want to pay crap. CARMAX was the worst. They offered me $8K less than I was asking and then proceeded to tell me they have to make at least $6K to $8K on each car they sell. When I sold the 2002, it only had 45K miles on the clock.

Yeah I know the weighing in of wants versus needs. Lol. Never an easy task and family has to take priority! Crazy that even Carmax gave you such a low offer on your 2002! Hopefully you make out better on the 2005. Lol

 

[gooffeyguy]

CARMAX sucks. They want premium prices for their cars when compared to other places

 

[Danny3737]

Like the 2002, I’m in no rush to sell it. Whether it sells in a week or a year, I’m fine either way. The one I have now is a 2004. The crappy part is that the tags and inspection are both due this month.

That's a clean ride. Some one in here needs to buy it.

At the very least, I will tell the new owner about the club and hope they join it. I’d love to troll the site and see someone do a build thread on it.

Good luck Danny

 

[Danny3737]

Thanks! I may have it for awhile since I’m going start the price out high and see if I get any bites. That’s what I did last time and ended up selling my 02 for a grand more than I thought it was worth. It did take me a few months, but I got what I wanted and that’s all that mattered. I’m one of those people who suffer from both buyers and sellers remorse.

Good luck Danny

Just for kicks, I thought I’d check our Carvana after hearing all their ads about about buying your car. I almost spit out my coffee when I saw the offer. I’m guessing whoever they hired to put together their program must have been on crack. I’m hoping to have time this weekend to get her cleaned up and online in the usual places.

 

[ivin74]

Jump on it, the offer expires in 7 days. Lmao

 

[Danny3737]

They make CARMAX look like a reputable company and that’s not easy to do. I know I can easily get $8K for it, but it’s one of those vehicles you have to see and driver in person, the pictures really don’t do it justice. It really doesn’t need an oil change yet, but I’m going to do it anyway so it’s one less thing the buyer has to worry about. I’m seriously OCD when it comes to buying and selling a car. I expect a lot when I buy a car and won’t sell a car that I wouldnt buy myself.

And I'm sure they'd sell it for 12k. Got that overhead, ya know lol!

My plan ( pipe dream ) is to list it for $10K or best offer. I’ve checked the local market and there is only one with lower mileage than mine and he is asking more. It’s hard to tell by the pics, but it looks like the paint by the drivers door is messsd up
