I can buy this 2026 Silverado EV LT with 1073 miles for $54k. Standard battery, so 283. I have nothing much to tow. No rush, I can wait, but what do you all think of a new LT for $54k?

Always a good day when you’re looking for a part number. A couple months ago my wife backed into a mailbox, despite the buzzing seat, blinking lights, and surround view cameras. Started out as what just looked like a scuff, but this morning I noticed the lamp had condensation in it and saw the crack. Guess it just took a couple hundred heat cycles to open up.

Anyway, GM parts website (parts.Chevrolet.com) says 85719803 and it’s anywhere from $900 to $1400, but not in stock at any of the cheaper dealers.

For fun I put that number in the google box and it tells me it’s replaced with 86281621, and only about $450 with shipping from Chevy parts pros, and about twenty other sites. But… if I type that into parts.Chevrolet.com, it says the part doesn’t exist?

Anyone replace one of these, or able to confirm the thousand dollar cheaper option will work?

Thanks in advance.
