They want 69000, before the deals that are advertised. I dont think that is a good deal for this market. What do you guys think i can go down to. If you are a truck salesman in western Canada im open to offers to a truck very close to this.

Just my 2 cents....If I were looking at a new truck, I woulden't be looking at a new truck. I'd be eying the 1-2 year old low km trade in's or private sales... given the economic downturn and unfortunate loss of jobs there are a lot of guys who can't afford to keep the 60-70K trucks they have recently purchased and depreciation is so rapid on those big ticket units that after 1 year and 20000km the truck is worth 20k less than new and some guys would be more than happy to take a loss just to dump the payment.

69K sounds like a lot of dough when all you hear about is how favorable the maket is supposed to be for consumers.

Good luck whatever you decide....I love car/truck/toy shopping.

I can't believe they're still charging close to $70k for a new truck!!

I can't see it on the window sticker, but I hope that one has leather.

I found this on canadatrader.com. There are basically no differences between 08s and 09s and this one has some extras too. 24000k is barely breaking in this motor, and you save $25k. That's $1000 a month for an extra 2 years.

I'll never buy brand new again, leased through my company for yrs but, when I used to purchase to own as I am now again, it'll be a yr or 2 older!....just my 2 cents :d

ps. I would refrain from purchasing in Peace River as well

 

[Oilboy]

wouldent go over 55g for it its a stock truck, no lift or rims and tires.
look in the paper lots of leathered out chev's bran new for 50g and 0%

 

[gotboost]

well i was looking at the same truck at hunter motors in athabasca and my price was $55000 cash price so i hope this helps

 

[rubirose]

My hubby took almost 3 months to find the truck he wanted for the price he wanted to pay. Mind you he is a mechanic which makes it easier for him. Got it for a song, put a few grand into it, new paint(did it himself) its like new. Even if we had the money we would NEVER buy new, it is a total waste of hard earned money.

 

[tmix]

new trucks are still stupidly priced$$$$$$, good luck shopping!!!

 

[YKX]

There wont be a chevy business for very long too. Can you say BROKE!

The deisel fords were advertised for about $45,500.00 to 46,900.00 and that was for a Lariat leather.

Sounds like way way too much for a truck today - it's not 2008 it's 2009 now (you can tell your dealer I said that :d; you can also tell them you didn't want to buy the whole company, just one truck...). I would expect to see that closer to $50 as well.

Plus, like others said, buy something 2 years old if you can get someone to realize it's probably worth only half what they paid for it two years ago. The used market is pretty poor. With a record number of vehicles coming off lease this year (50% or so more than last year) and with consumers hanging on to their vehicles a lot longer cause of the down turn, the used market should be about as expensive as buying used dirt. A little patience and I think you might see a lot more stuff come on the market in the summer. Wait for them to get a bit more desperate, the prices will come down as people realize it won't move.

Plus it's a chev...not to start a sh*t storm in here but it has the smallest cab of the three, I thought you wanted something bigger?

They have a really nice Diesel out at Murray's Chev by the Nisku truck stop. New, Lifted, Loaded, rims, tires and a bunch of other aftermarket stuff and I thought the price was around 50G but can't recall for sure. Couldn't find any ads for it but I drool as I drive by and see it everyday on the way to work.

i have a regular cab short box 1500 silverado 4.8 gas. so anything is going to be bigger. im a chevy guy i know the truck

 

[shawnmcgr]

Six months ago I bought an '07 3/4 ton chev dmax cc LB 4x4 LS (cloth & mechanical transfer case) w/ 29,000km for $34,800. A buddy just bought a brand new chev 2500 cc sb 4x4 dmax LT (leather full load, no nav but with sunroof) for $52k.

I'd bet you could do better than that now.

Enjoy the new truck!

Another place you might want to try is Competion Chev Olds in Stony Plain. They seem to kick everyones butt on price.
