Total Cost Analysis
Monthly Ownership Impact
A $31,448 loan at 7.5% for 60 months equals $630/month.
Insurance & Gas Estimate: +$320/month.
Risk Assessment
Transmission Risk
The 6-speed automatic in early 2018 GM V8s is known for torque converter shudder. At 64k miles, this vehicle is right at the failure point if fluid wasn't changed regularly. We strongly advise a pre-purchase inspection focusing on the transmission.
Excessive Doc Fee
The $899 documentation fee is well above the national average ($450). While this dealer may refuse to remove it, you can negotiate the base price of the truck down by $400 to offset it.
Looming Maintenance (Next 12 Months)
- 60k Mile Service: Transmission fluid/filter, transfer case fluid (if 4WD). Replace soon. ($600 est.)
- Tires: Silverado LTZ 20-inch tires average $1,100 a set. Check tread depth visually.
