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.

I sold a truck in that area about 8 years ago with 65K for a 5 year old truck and listed it modded with little interest...put it back to stock, and got blue book for it in that area....I think the reason he wanted to know the area is because prices vary a lot from town to town...plus with all the vehicle taxes in cali, people probably don't want to pay as much to keep it registered. And with all the hippies and ecars these days, big assault vehicles aren't highly sought after.

It's a nice burb for sure. An enthusiast still wouldn't pay the amount you're looking to get out of it. It's sad to say, but like others have said...no hurt in listing it and seeing what bites you get. Only problem with that are a bunch of lookie-loo people come to look at it. But I guess that's the price you pay if you want to sell it on the private market.

Maybe before 2008 you could have had a chance to get close to what you want. Things have changed so much in the used car industry.

You will be better off removing your mods and selling them individually, then selling your truck in stock form. You can always make a deal with a buyer to sell the "goodies" for extra. Unfortunately, you mods don't increase the value. Your repair records will help you sell it for the "excellent condition" private party price if the truck really is in great condition.

All wheel drive is a 70/30 power split between the rear and front axles and it is full time. There's no 2 wheel drive switches. You are correct, the transfer case does not have a low gear, but the transmission does. I haven't done much off roading, but there's no other vehicle that makes me feel safer driving in snow than my AWD denali xl. The 4wd transfer cases I believe have more of a chance to fail because of the switching ability. There's solenoids and electrical crap that could go bad.
