Sticker Shock!

I urge those who haven't done it recently to bluebook their truck just for fun and post it.

I did mine, I have 62K miles and a couple of inexpensive items not listed in the sig (2006 QC 4X4 A/T SLT)

Private Seller "Good" condition @ $27.9K

Dealer lot would be $31K

Trade-in $22-$23K (Can't remember exactly).

To think I paid $35K'ish ($39K OTD) 5 years ago this July 5th. I like my investment.

Private, 12,600
Trade-in, 9,100

Not too bad I guess. I checked it a little while back, and swore it was a lot higher. Paid 18,500 5 years ago at 89,000 miles
