Re: looking to buy a silverado and have about 10k to spend

I'd say it's a real bad idea to buy a truck that ia that new, 99 and up, and be that old, over 75,000 miles. If you want a 99 or newer siverado like you mentioned it's prolly gonna be around $12k-$15k. If i were you i would get the next oldest body style, 96-99. These trucks have just as much power as the newer ones and you can pick up an extended cab Z-71 5.7L with under 100K miles for anywhere between $8K and $12K. The only way to get a newer one for that price would be to find a regular cab 2wd shortbed with a small engine and high miles. Just my $0.02 but shop around for awhile.
