Final call for thoughts and suggestions:
1. I can get $57K for my 2023 ZR2 with 11K miles on her
2. I am looking at a 2500HD High Country Midnight Edition Package with the following: 6.6L Duramax; Technology Package; Tri-Fold Hard Tonneau Cover; Z71 Off Road Package; Multiflex Tailgate; High Idle Switch; LED Roof Marker Lamps
3. The MSRP on the High Country Midnight Edition is $90,720
4. Selling Price is $80,725
I also looked at a 2500HD ZR2 Bison which has an MSRP of just over $97K that I can get for $87K. I like it, but don't see the value in the Bison package here in FL where all I do is go on the beaches.
This will be my first diesel and, as I have stated before, I do a lot of short distance driving, but I'm being sold on the Duramax for resale and told that as long as I take her out once a week for a decent drive and open her up, I should be ok. Yes? No?
Here are a few pics of both trucks and I took them both out for a drive and they felt very similar and super smooth. I'm leaning towards the High Country as my wife will appreciate that more and a ZR2 is just overkill for me. If the ZR2 didn't have the Bison, that would still be in the running. I like the seats in the HC better than the ZR2 as well. They just felt more upscale.
Before I drop around $25K out of pocket, just want to hear from my friends your final thoughts. If I move forward, I will pick it up no later than Wednesday.
One last question. My buddy, who's the GM, is driving the exact same 2500HD High Country as a demo. The new one has 12 miles on her. His has 2000 and he offered me his for another $1000 off. If I go forward...buy "new" or take his demo he's been driving and save another $1000?
