Chevy Colorado Owners

Also, it’s probably one of the last American made with a stick. I actually expect it to hold its value well

Just based on that?

Looking at Manheim auctions a 2019 4cyl 2wd Tacoma avg $5k more than a Colorado.

Colorados do hold their values very well, as do Tacomas. Maybe not quite as well as Tacomas, but better than most other vehicles. The reason for that is that neither one is available to rental agencies(i.e. Hertz, Enterprise, etc.) So there isn't a steady supply of recent model Tacos and Colorados on the used market

Not sure it has much to do with rental. Suburbans are available to rent, plenty of them, in fact they're also used as private limos and fleet vehicles yet they hold their value like Tacomas.

I didn't get sh!t for my 2012 Yukon XL when I traded it in. Just sayin'.

Sorry, but have to disagree. I work on the border, and had a guy come in with a radiation alert. He was escorted from the vehicle (Civic), and the officer that came to move it couldn’t drive it. Had her watch the lane, and moved it.

I asked everyone afterwards on who knew how to drive stick. Younger than me (I’m 32), only 1 person knew out of 8. It is a dying piece of technology... and likely won’t be missed by people leaving school. And while they might hold value, a vehicle is the worst thing to worry about investment.

Now, for the Colorado... I love my 2019. Crew cab, long bed, Z71, with V6. I originally wanted the diesel... but glad I went with the gas one. Build date was after the transmission fix... 03/01/2019. Tows well, and gets good gas mileage. Similar power to a 5.3L... and I’m good.

I have to yank the air dam off before winter this year, and have to install the rear most skid plate (have to relocated a brake and electric line that runs across the same area.

Only issue I had wasn’t even a truck problem. I picked up Rough Country side steps for it... three step setup that runs between the wheel wells (each side, one for each door, and one for bed access). Rusted within 6 months. The powder coating on each weld chipped and began to rust. RC didn’t even reply to my call/email. Went down to Bangor, and had them sprayed by Line-X (bedliner). Really came out nice and likely will last forever.

Trade ins are what they are.

IDK when you did your trade, or the vehicle specifics but looking at current auction prices. For the SLE those with around 130k - 140k miles sold for between $7400 and $11,500. Condition does play a role as well as color, options and location. Just under 100k miles sold for $13,750

The XLT sold for slightly less but just about all had higher mileage. One with 218k miles sold $3,600 and one with 97k miles sold for $14,700. Between 140-147k miles were just under $7k and up to $9,300


These are wholesale auction prices. In other words what a dealer pays. Then they go on a lot (most of them anyway) and the price goes up
