I have my deposits on two STA's and feel so lucky right now to even have this opportunity, one Blue and One Silver, both have the same mileage? The silver once has Nav and the Blue one has the 6 CD Changer. The blue one has some normal bed wear as it was used fro utility and the silver one you cold eat off of truck bed in every way, it's never been used seemly MINT.
The Blue one need rims in the future visually they have a few issues, but function fine and the blue one has great new tires saving $1000 and the silver one needs tires but has good rims saving $1500, not perfect rims but good, both OEM rims. The interior on both are very clean, the silver one maybe a little better interior or at least detailed out better to look good in photos other than the door control side covers, it looks MINT.
Now the rub, the silver is $10,000 less than the Blue one, I love the blue color, but having one hell of a time justifying $10k more for color and less relative option(s), meaning no Nav, plus the silver ones bed is like new, even has the rubber cover from the factory on it, again MINT.
Both are not listed publicly and thus can't be found, I really lucked out with good timing I guess.
Both come from good climates and made in KY, same relative miles, the silver one had a new windshield installed, still wonder why on that one, getting that info today, job looks clean and you can't tell, other than that they both have a clean carfax report and both have been inspected from every angle, underneath.
Is it worth the extra for the color and no Nav? Again they don't make these anymore and they will only get worse in time (condition wise). I seen allot and most have major defects and have not been taken care of at all.
With that being stated the blue one needs only 2 places on the entire truck where the paint needs fixed, maybe a few $100 at the most with the correct paint with labor included.
The silver one has a few more issues with paint, front pass bumper rub, nothing major, but figured $300-500 tops, same side pass rear wheel well scrape $200-300 and a few door marks, maybe a compound can get those out, not sure yet, otherwise maybe another say $400-$500 tops, again exterminating WAY high I hope, not sure about any road chips on the silver one, the blue one seems to have zero stone chips, the silver one I'm not 100% sure, still working on getting that info.
Last but not least the blue one will cost less to ship then the silver one $600 blue vs $1500 silver.
Honestly I'm leaning towards the blue, as this seems to be a more rare color and thus want it even more, just need to install Nav later, if I can find it for a fair cost, most Nav's are $1400 with programming if I buy it myself, $2000+ from the dealer.
Either way we are way excited and can't wait to just have one let alone two.
Photos for blue have been provided, and HD videos and photos for the silver one with over the top details to see everything and anything have been provided.
In both case the door control panel side cover will need replaced, they always wear out it seems and thus not a big deal to replace.
Thoughts? maybe I should buy both and yes I'm a little OCD lol
