I wanted a new truck to replace my aging car which was going to need some expensive maintenance soon. Rather than sink a lot of money into a 10 year old car, I opted to buy something else. I'd done tons of research on the market segment (compact truck, but really mid-size). I knew what I wanted, and which options I absolutely wanted. It didn't seem like the local dealers were motivated to sell (IMO), so I did a national search for exactly what I wanted, lowest price first.I literally bought the cheapest 2018 Chevy Colorado ZR2 V6 Crew Cab in the color and spec I wanted in the country, for what they were asking on the internet. It cost me a one way Southwest ticket to Phoenix and another hundo in gas back to Tulsa, to save $8,200 off MSRP total, off the lot, taxes and fees included. I just looked it up on NADA guides and clean trade-in value with 11.5K on the odometer is only $625 less than I paid for it 14 months ago.No it's not an investment, but I love it, it does everything I need it to and my total ownership cost isn't going to be bad at all. It still turns heads too! <img src="/images/smilies/smile.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
