Traded my truck in and it’s in TN.

Stick around and give us some insight into the competition! I'd love to see some pics of the Colorado in action!

 

It's a shell and pea game, and the only hope you have of winning is to take two of the shells off the table, a trade and financing.

You gave them one shell when you told them your payment goal. The other, your trade, you still controlled.

It's nice you were persistent by not answering the phone, but they just kept calling till they found out right where that shell was. So if you could actually untangle all the numbers, you'd find you overpaid for the truck.

Not really being critical. Many folks shop the exact same way. But consider a different approach the next buy cycle.

Hoping your Colorado works out to be a fine ride for you.

 

I generally agree....when you take the trade out of the negotiation, the leverage shifts to the buyer. As a buyer, invoice, dealer holdback and manufacturer incentives all work in your favor because there is only one shell on the table, yours.

 

What county? And working out of contract lol I just got a call from the pba pres to expect a check from old and finally settled contract negotiations and I'm retired almost 10 years!! And what parts?

 

Congrats...beautiful trucks. I'm sure you'll enjoy.

I think the have a winner with that design.

 

Yes sir I’ll send some... not to sure about taking it on any trails I took my taco on.. this this sit low and has more things to get ripped off haha plus it’s a lease

 

I’m trying to get picked up by Bergen. But I’ve got tons of parts. From suspension to add ons. I’m off Friday’s and Saturday’s so if one day you want to come by and check out all the stuff I’ve got you’re more than welcome

 

Maybe down the line right now it’s bone stock and I don’t want to ruin it lol but if I decide to buy it out of the lease I’ll start out with different tires for sure and a lift and taking all the lower plastic off that I’m already nervous about being ripped off of the little trail I drive down for hunting

 

OMFG! You lost the game.

Sorry to hear that.

 

good luck on the Chevy. don't worry, we will be here when you come back

 

So just to make sure I am following this; without knowing the payment, OP must have lost by separately negotiating the trade, getting the lease payment to what he wanted to pay, and he leased instead of purchasing a truck that everyone thinks will fall apart when out of warranty anyway?

Tough crowd . . .

 

Welcome to TW lol. If you do anything, it's wrong

 

Unless you are a TW "Lemming", then lots of hugs and love. LOL If you have a contrary opinion, make sure you are wearing your flame proof undies!

 

I just put this at the end of my posts that I know are going to cause an uproar:

It’s like saying, “with all due respect,” before you insult someone.

 

Off to a great start with the colorado... my wipers have been messing up so I brought it to the dealer and today they were replacing the motor and module for it and the problem was still happening. He then stated that something had chewed thru my wires... and that’s not covered under warranty FML!

 

Sorry to hear that. Will insurance cover it?

 

im sorry to hear about your downgrade in truck.

 

I like what the OP did. he bought what he wanted.

 

This is not accurate anymore after the automotive bailout and them going broke debacle manufacturers payouts for volume decreased significantly. The backdoor profits they make now are more from the lenders than manufacturers.

 

Didn’t even think to ask. It was only $170 so I paid it.
