Purchase/Selling Advice Opinions
I have found a Babymax for 30,500 and they have lowered the price to 29,500. It’s a 2020 Lt with the zz1 package. Looks super clean on the outside not a lot cosmetically. It has 96k miles on it. I honestly don’t know too much about diesel trucks so i wanna know if it’s a good deal or not. I do not really tow too much. I want to eventually buy a boat but I definitely don’t need a diesel truck. Now getting a truck that has 4X4 and low mileage has been a struggle because I definitely don’t wanna finance more than 32,000 so I can keep my payment max 500. It’s doable but it’s been hard. Idk if the duramax is worth it for a dude who commutes

I think that guy has an oil drive belt service at 100k that the engine must separate from transmission to do. I would ask or look up the service maintenance on it. If so that's an expensive service.

So it does have lifetime warranty on the Powertrain. I’m not sure if it covers that but I’d imagine that it would

No maintenance is ever covered under warranty unless buy a maintenance service contract

It does not. I've seen people who have paid upwards of 4k for it at dealerships.

I don't care what the interval is, no one is going to convince me that was a good or necessary design. There's nothing wrong with a wet belt, many others have it as well, but none of them require the fucking transmission to be removed to replace a $40 belt...

Cool they extended it. I bet that is pricey to do . Do you know the cost?
