I am looking at a 02 Silverado, opinions please...

It's a 2002 extended cab Silverado-60,000 miles, power windows & locks, 5.3L engine, CD, tape, nice truck.
The asking price is $16,752. What do you think about this price and miles for a '02???

Thank you for your help.

Also, are these trucks pretty reliable, around how long should they last.

You can enter mileage, year, color, accessories, etc. and they'll give a free price estimate, including trade in value, dealer and private seller price. Hope this helps.

These are great trucks! The '99s and 2000s had some quirky litle problems, but I think GM is getting them ironed out somewhat, probably nothing worse than any other truck.

A buddy of mine has a '99 Z71 that I sold him with 23,000 miles on it and he's got 187,000 miles on it now, with no major problems.

My nephew has another '99 Z71 that I sold him with 32,000 miles on it and it now has 132,000 miles on it. He did however put a tranny in it at 120,000 miles or so and also a fuel pump (typical), but for 100,000 miles of use, I don't think the repairs are all that bad. He probably uses it a little harder than the other fellow.

The price seems fair and in the ballpark, if it's as nice as you say.

Go for it!!

I have a friend who works for a Chevy dealership and he told me that he hardly ever sees a Silverado come in there for anything other than routine maintenance.

The price seems fair but I would definatly have a car report done on the truck to see if it has been totalled, in an accident, or is a stolen recovery.

Good Luck and post some pics when you get it.
