as far as that truck goes, if the mileage is good, its a good deal, looks good as far as i can tell but go take a look at it and check all the body lines and make sure it hasnt been wrecked...

wow thats an even better deal!!and get some bigger pics of your silverado I like the red on black

im not a big fan of red but that truck looks awesome man and for that price even better

[99redsilverado]

yeah i have had nothing but red trucks as vehicles, except for one white acura.....it was not rice...it had 300 hp at the wheels...looked factory

My 2000 2wd C2500 with 42,000 km. cost me $11k, I think I got a good deal, the guy I bought it from was crying "oh but I spend so much on gas!"

Make sure you only get what you want, those extras cost $$$$$. '01 LT EXTCB Sportside 41K miles in oct '03 for $18,500. I got them to $1K over trade in at the last 5 minutes of the month. Amazing what the guy under his quota will do at the last moment of the month.

Also, remember you have to add in tax. That'll be another $1k tax/tags, plus it's 6 yrs old and you'll probably need to invest $400-500 right away.

I bought mine on ebay from a private owner for $7900 (99LS Ext Cab, 4.8L, 4WD, 120k mi). It needed shocks and a new water pump. After tax tags and new Rancho RSX (buy 3 get 1 free, self install) and H2O pump, it cost me about 9k. Now she runs like a champ. I gotta get some pics posted...it's the dark grey with pewter skirt...looks real nice when cleaned up.

I agree with everyone who advised to wait. If you look for a month or so, you'll find what you want.

Actually, here's almost my exact truck on ebay now for $7200 (current bid):

well depends where you live on the taxes and what place you buy it. I bought mine from a chevy dealer and they included tax title and licence with the price. I did buy a extended wty and a maintance package. good thing to cuz right after I bought it the alt, battery went out then the tailgate handle broke. they replaced everything at no charge and all the parts were new, not referbs. I'm going to blow the engine before the wty expires so they will give me a new engine for $250.

Hey, me too. I have until 96,000 miles to do it

[intel_guy]

Also, autos.yahoo.com has really good prices, but you have to search 300 miles or any distance from your zip code. There's an 00 2wd ext cab with 125k miles for $8500. Mine isnt a daily driver though; if it were I'd shoot for lower miles. My DD is a VW Golf TDi getting 50mpg (I LOVE that car!!!)

[kenwood guy]

so am I better buying off the street or a dealer????

[BlenderWizard]

It just depends on what you find. Legally, the dealer is required to tell you more about a used car than the individual is. Whatever you get, pull a carfax report on it before you get it. Best $30 you'll ever spend.
