Planning to Sell My Truck

I am a 21 year old college student living in San Antonio. One fact about being a student pursuing higher education in USA is, you are going to drown in debts and student loans. And that is exactly why I have decided to sell my Chevrolet Silverado 1500. This truck belonged to my dad, which he “gifted” to me when I got into college. I am quite attached to it, though my situation was a dire one. Selling the truck was not my first idea. I had planned to start working part time in a local restaurant to pay my loans, even do a tuition or two. But soon I realized that no matter what I do, I could not collect enough money to pay all my debts. Finally, I discussed my plan to sell the truck, and he took the idea quite well.


I have decided to sell my truck to someone local from San Antonio, as it will help me buy it back once I manage to collect enough money. But the problem is, there are too many used trucks for sale in San Antonio. It will be hard for me to get a good deal, so I am going to post this blog online and hope that someone will contact me. I will list some cool facts about my truck, so that the buyers can get a general idea about the deal:

1)    The 2013 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 offers variety. The truck can be a good option for anyone. Buyers can choose between regular cab, extended cab, and crew cab styles with a short, standard, or long cargo box and rear-wheel or 4-wheel drive. Trim levels range from the basic WT (Work Truck) to the luxurious LTZ, with LS and LT models in between.  My truck is an LS model with a crew cab design.

2)    The Silverado is the only pickup truck offered with a gas-electric hybrid powertrain (excluding the GMC Sierra). The 2-mode hybrid powertrain pairs a 332-horsepower, 6.0-liter V-8 engine with Active Fuel Management technology to a 300-volt nickel-metal hydride battery pack and an electrically variable transmission. The Hybrid version can travel at speeds up to 30 mph on electricity alone, is estimated by the EPA to get 21 mpg in combined driving, and is rated to tow 6,100 pounds or carry up to 1,527 pounds of payload.

3)    The 1500 is equipped with standard stability control, trailer sway control, hill-start assist, and powertrain grade braking, which reduce brake rotor temperatures when descending long downhill grades. All models equipped with an automatic transmission also have a Tow/Haul mode, and an integrated trailer brake controller is optional for the Silverado 1500. Maximum trailering capacity is 10,700 pounds, when equipped with the optional Max Trailering package and its 403-horsepower, 6.2-liter V-8 engine.

I know that there are a lot of used trucks for sale in San Antonio, but my truck has gone through some recent maintenance, with new parts installed (from Texas, so relax). The documents are all in order, so people don’t have to worry about me being a curbstoner.
