Default where to find 5.3v8 colorados for sale?

I can't find them on any dealer websites and when I call a dealer they act like they don't exist. They came out last year for 2009 models and it's now 2010.

I don't see any used for sale or new ones. So how did the guys on youtube get theirs? lol

I haven't gotten a reply from any of them either. It's like the holy grail of goddamn sport trucks!

I'm not really in the market to buy one. Just researching for future plans to see what they are actually selling for. I'd rather buy one with the v8 already in it because I don't have the access to a garage here in alabama that I did on base in Hawaii. That it when I get ready to buy one.

Well, I want an ext cab 5.3. That's it. When I walked in and talked about ordering one (I was actually serious at the time) the dealership here wouldn't order a stripper. I didn't want a bare bones just no added features other than what is standard.

For some reason it had to have the huge goddamn stereo, heated seats, 20" rims or whatever, tonneau cover, blah blah blah and the price kept going north of $30k. I walked out.

None around here carry any in stock at all. No 2wds no 4wds. I'd like to test drive one.

Yeah, it took about 15 minutes to convince them that I didn't want a crew cab z71 fully loaded.

I thought GM dealerships wanted to sell a truck? Well, sell me a standard Colorado with a v8 and nothing else added! lol

I forgot to mention that this was after me having to convince the salesman that GM did make the Colorado with a v8.

I hate shopping for cars because 9/10 I know more about the cars on the lot than all the the salesman there.

Ur very very right lol
u arent kiddin a 6.2 the rearend would probly fall off lol
I clean cars there and i kno more then any of them idiots there sooo dumb.
If u could get ur hands on a reg cab v8 2wd that would be sick fast stock.
With the economy as bad as it is right now their not going to get any trucks like that unless their special ordered. I dont even kno why we got it. That colorado is the only one we have on the lot lol

There is a beautiful red 5.3 colorado at spitzer chevrolet in North Canton, Ohio. Very sharp.

I saw this , with a " V-8" emblem on the side, so i asked about it and they told me it had a 5.3 . I was like DAMN!!! Thats awesome!
