* Model: A Chevy Silverado 1500 would be cheaper than a Silverado 2500 or 3500. The C/K series was also still available in some trims. The trim level (work truck, LS, LT, etc.) also significantly impacted price.
* Options: Features like air conditioning, power windows, a different engine, a different transmission, and various packages added considerably to the base price.
* Dealer Markup: Dealers could (and often did) add their own markup to the manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP).
To get a more precise answer, you would need to specify the exact model and options. You could try searching online resources like archived car pricing guides (though finding one specifically for 1996 might be challenging) or contacting classic car valuation websites. Even then, you'd get a range, not a precise number.
