Thinking of buying this Truck.

It seems like thats all the money for that truck.
I can only go by what my brother bought. A new Toyota Tundra in the same model year (not almost 2 model years old) V8 4WD, king cab with towing package and really well equipped with bed liner for $28K even.
Nice thing is a V8 with no DI and 4 doors with towing package. Not suggesting you go Toyota but for the sake of comparison its a lot more truck for not too much more money.

Can you live with a standard cab?
We have two identical trucks to that at work, except red. The new 4.3 has plenty of power. We average just under 18 mph with them. We are a sub contractor so we work them pretty good. I'm sure you'd get better mileage. I would hit them low and see if they'll work with you.
The price seems pretty decent, but a new 2014?
I'm with those who'd offer a low-ball on this truck, like maybe 20K.
You might even get it for that.
If not, the selling dealer will probably back off a bit on their asking.
What are the incentives to a dealer stuck with one of these?
I'm guessing that there must be some.
This guy is also probably anxious to get this thing off of floor plan.
Would be a good truck for a couple of grand less for the right buyer.
Single cabs are pretty much dead in the current market, but the selling dealer already knows this.
This truck almost has to have been a special order.
Wonder what the back story is?

It could also be a situation where GM told them "you will put this truck on your lot if you want this other truck." Either way, I am sure the sales manager hates looking at it.
$24K is a decent deal IMO. I would try to get them to go even lower though because this truck has everything against it...small engine, reg cab, long bed, old stock, crank windows. If the odo still shows 2 miles, that means the farthest this truck has driven in probably a year is on and off the car hauler and around the lot. Nobody has even test driven it...if they did, they brought it right the [censored] back.
These are nice trucks though, and for a new one you will have a hard time doing much better price wise. At some point they will sell it just because it's a truck. It's not like trying to sell a 2 year old new Volt.

It's good if you don't tow heavy or haul heavy. Still a bit too much $ for the 4.3L. I v8 will 2 less miles per gallon than the v6.
Looks like a good truck, just missing power windows. I won't have another truck without them, to wide to always reach over and crank!
I don't know why people keep ragging on the new 4.3, its slightly more powerful than last years 4.8 V8!
That truck is a better truck than the older one, its lighter, more powerful, has rear disc brakes, and a 6spd transmission!
The only thing a 2012 version with the V8 will get you is a larger gas bill.
The old adage of always get a V8 in a truck went out the window in the 2014 model year with all the manufactures. Now even the weakest of V6's make almost 300hp, that's more than enough juice for a half ton.
