Trade a new Chevrolet Silverado 1500 dealer to dealer
Can I trade a new Chevrolet Silverado 1500 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 Silverado 1500?
The Silverado 1500 is a full-size pickup. Full-size pickups carry some of the largest floor-plan balances on a lot, and the exact combination a buyer wants is rarely the one in stock. A trade turns a carrying cost on one lot into a sale on another.
What decides whether a Silverado 1500 matches?
Cab style, bed length, drivetrain, engine and trim package decide whether a customer will take a truck or walk away. 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 |
|---|---|
| Cab and bed | Crew, double or regular cab; bed length |
| Drivetrain and engine | 2WD or 4WD; the engine option |
| Trim and package | Trim level, appearance and towing packages |
How does a Silverado 1500 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 Silverado 1500?
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.
