Buying a GMC Sierra 3500HD New vs Used

If you purchase a used GMC Sierra 3500HD that is 2 years old, then you could save $14,886 compared to buying new, and still have a relatively new model with plenty of useful life remaining. If you plan to keep this vehicle for 3 years then your total cost of depreciation would be $7,621. Try other age and ownership length combinations, or different vehicles to see if you can find depreciation sweetspots where this cost is the lowest. Hint: Try vehicles between 2 and 4 years old, as brand new vehicles depreciate quickly. Also, if this is a recently released model and buying a few years old isn't possible, consider another vehicle, or perhaps wait until more used Sierra 3500HD models become available.

What About GMC Sierra 3500HD Insurance Costs?

The average cost to insure a GMC Sierra 3500HD is about $2,925 per year. This adds up to around $14,625 after 5 years of vehicle ownership.
