Trade a new Colorado or Canyon dealer to dealer
Can I trade a new Colorado or Canyon with another dealer? Yes. List the unit on Locates.io, or search for the exact build you need, and the other dealer stays anonymous until both of you sign. Locates.io sets the terms and runs the paperwork, money and freight. Selling is free; the buyer pays $199 per unit, one time.
Why do dealers trade the Colorado and Canyon?
The Colorado and Canyon is a midsize pickup. The Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon are sister midsize trucks, so one page covers both. Each trade is still dealer to dealer within the franchise rules, so a Chevrolet store trades Colorados and a GMC store trades Canyons. A trade turns a carrying cost on one lot into a sale on another.
What decides whether a Colorado and Canyon matches?
Trim, cab and bed, drivetrain and package decide the match for each. Locates.io searches on those attributes, so a buyer finds the exact build and a seller reaches only dealers who want it.
| Attribute | What to specify |
|---|---|
| Trim | The trim level |
| Cab and bed | Cab style and bed length |
| Drivetrain and package | 2WD or 4WD; the option package |
How does a Colorado and Canyon trade work?
Five steps: list, match, agree, sign, then deliver and settle. See how it works for the full walk-through. Until both dealers have signed, each sees only vehicle attributes, a freight region, a distance band and an anonymous profile. Names, addresses and VINs are released in the signed agreement.
What does it cost to trade a Colorado and Canyon?
Selling is free. The buyer pays the platform fee: $199 per unit, one time, never monthly, and only when a trade happens. Freight starts as an estimate range, not a quote. At terms, the buyer's freight charge is the carrier's quote split per unit plus Locates.io's flat $75 a unit, and it is locked from then on. Buyer pickup has no freight charge.
