rivierakid55 Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 you probably arent going to like this but here's the reality of it. 2003 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Pickup SS Extended Cab Short Bed Private Party Value Excellent $19,240 Good $17,920 Fair $16,225 Vehicle Highlights Mileage: 75,000 Engine: V8 6.0 Liter Transmission: Automatic Drivetrain: AWD Selected Equipment Change Equipment Standard Air Conditioning Cruise Control ABS (4-Wheel) Power Steering AM/FM Stereo Leather Power Windows Cassette Dual Power Seats Power Door Locks Single Compact Disc Tilt Wheel Dual Front Air Bags Optional Premium Sound OnStar Oversize Wheels 20"+ Blue Book Private Party Value Private Party Value is what a buyer can expect to pay when buying a used car from a private party. The Private Party Value assumes the vehicle is sold "As Is" and carries no warranty (other than the continuing factory warranty). The final sale price may vary depending on the vehicle's actual condition and local market conditions. This value may also be used to derive Fair Market Value for insurance and vehicle donation purposes. Vehicle Condition Ratings Check Vehicle Title History Excellent $19,240 "Excellent" condition means that the vehicle looks new, is in excellent mechanical condition and needs no reconditioning. This vehicle has never had any paint or body work and is free of rust. The vehicle has a clean title history and will pass a smog and safety inspection. The engine compartment is clean, with no fluid leaks and is free of any wear or visible defects. The vehicle also has complete and verifiable service records. Less than 5% of all used vehicles fall into this category. Good $17,920 "Good" condition means that the vehicle is free of any major defects. This vehicle has a clean title history, the paint, body and interior have only minor (if any) blemishes, and there are no major mechanical problems. There should be little or no rust on this vehicle. The tires match and have substantial tread wear left. A "good" vehicle will need some reconditioning to be sold at retail. Most consumer owned vehicles fall into this category. Fair $16,225 "Fair" condition means that the vehicle has some mechanical or cosmetic defects and needs servicing but is still in reasonable running condition. This vehicle has a clean title history, the paint, body and/or interior need work performed by a professional. The tires may need to be replaced. There may be some repairable rust damage. Poor N/A "Poor" condition means that the vehicle has severe mechanical and/or cosmetic defects and is in poor running condition. The vehicle may have problems that cannot be readily fixed such as a damaged frame or a rusted-through body. A vehicle with a branded title (salvage, flood, etc.) or unsubstantiated mileage is considered "poor." A vehicle in poor condition may require an independent appraisal to determine its value. Kelley Blue Book does not attempt to report a value on a "poor" vehicle because the value of cars in this category varies greatly. * California 3/20/2007 Accurate Condition AppraisalChange Condition Accurately appraising the condition of a vehicle is an important aspect in determining its Blue Book value.

packjh Posted March 20, 2007 Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 i was thinking more like 5 dollars to me but look around town and see how things are priced up if you see a used ss for sale look at it compare and base it off that. I know that alaska asks more for 4 wheel drive vehicles due to the extended summer and you cant even buy a brand new rwd truck up here unless you special order or not that i have see one for sale. I havnt even seen a 06 silverado ss in this part of ak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakerz Posted March 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2007 (edited) kid55- i've seen that price on kbb.com and then i've seen $26k on nada.com so maybe i should ask for something in the middle. like $23-24k???? would that be reasonable? theres only one other ss truck running around in this area. (that i've seen) i'm running around town now with $25k written on the windows. i get alot of looks but i've only had 1 phone call. i've really only had it up "for sale" for about a week now. i'll give it time.

Ron's SS Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 Just thought I would throw this out there. The most recent truck I saw for sale was a black, 2003 with 62K mile. Nothing aftermarket that I could tell and they were asking $22,000. Figured I would throw that out there for you. Good luck with selling the truck.

pnblwzd Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 Check ebay completed items to see what people are actually selling them for. You can also go the ebay route for selling. Last time I sold a car with ebay, it was $25 to list the vehicle and an additional $25 if it sold. They don't charge a $% on vehicles the way they do on regular items, so it's a lot of coverage for $50. FWIW; A friend just sold his '04 "CA Edition" Silverado (not a SSS) with about 40k miles on it, extremely clean, and got $17.5k priv party.

thallent Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 When my 03 got traded in last august it had about 54k on it. The dealership gave 17k on the trade in and then they finally sold it after a couple of months. I then found it on ebay at a dealership in california for a buy it now of 23,995 but they ended the auction early and sold it locally. So the dealership was selling for a little less than 24k with about 20k less miles on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
