More and more disgusted with local used pickup prices...and choice

I bought my 2008 GMC Sierra 2500HD with mid-level interior for $19500 from a dealer. I had to fly to Denver from San Jose to pick it up, cover the airfare, fuel and hotel for a night to get it home.
The California bluebook was $28500 for my area, and every truck with the same 78k low mileage was $3k to $4k more than bluebook.

I lifted the front end, did a Cat-Back, Cold Air Intake and paid for a dyno tune with transmission reprogramming. After paying the ridiculous California Used Tax and registration, it was still thousands less than what I could find here.

It smokes most folks out here, and will run over 120mph on the high way.
