Used value estimate
2008 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 value
By Hari Vinayak · Updated 2026-06-12
Quick answer
A 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 in good condition with average mileage (about 225,000 miles) is worth roughly $9,250 in a private-party sale — a fair range of $8,500 to $10,000, or about $10,650 at a dealer. Note: 2008 is a flagged year for this model (2007–2013 (5.3 AFM)) — Oil consumption from AFM — check level and ask about top-offs. Expect to pay at the lower end and budget for that risk.
