My distaste for Chevy is pretty well documented here, but it’s hard to beat the price I paid. 5.3L V8, heated, power, memory seats, power pedals, this weird radio memory thing, sunroof, leather, Z71, all that stuff. One small rust spot, 181k. $1300.

I would have even bought that for $1300. It would be on CL now though.

Permit me to start this thing I have here called a “countdown timer”. I need to make sure it’s set right, though - have you noticed any intermittentness in your turn signal stalk, yet?

The joys of being a salesperson, I can look up what we paid for it. We paid $1000, and I walked up to my boss, put $1300 on his desk and told him he could sell it to me or keep it.

Gonna paint the lower part of it black and change the 4x4 badges, that’s pretty much it. It’s just to tow the drift car.

The turn signal stalks on these, with all the light controls and wiper controls and so on... pretty reliably quit working and break down in such a way that you have to replace the whole little switching module for them. Which requires pulling the steering wheel. Oh yeah, and the window motors on these die like flies.

Pretty good for a month! I thought buying 3 and selling 3 in 7 months was a lot! Keep it up

replace that now before winter when it dies and is stuck down.
Great buy overall, in my opinion, just saying you might want to get that handled before it sucks.

My mother has the same gen Silverado, can confirm on those damn window motors. Same engineering team as the ignitions I imagine.

It must be nice to live in a state where the insurance doesn’t eat you alive. In Louisiana, my 21 year old truck as a third vehicle with liability only and two drivers in the house with no tickets or accidents still costs over $1,200 a year. At these rates, it doesn’t make sense to keep a vehicle that isn’t driven every day. Anyone want to buy a thoroughly used truck with new tires?

Actually the first time I’ve taken advantage of it. I also bought a new Focus ST for $3k off and 0% for 72 mos.

I had an ‘02 Suburban with the 5.3L it was a supprisingly good rig. Due to it’s mass it towed really well, just didn’t like towing really heavy things over mountain passes because the 5.3 is a bit under powered for that.

Ive had 4 pickups in this generation (gmt800) between 120,000 miles & 250,000! 2 w/ 5.3’s 1 w/ a 6.0 & my current Duramax & ive never had the “blinker issue” he is talking about... but window motors... yeah good thing they are cheap! (& it’s always the damn drivers side that goes out!)
Also on 5.3s around this mileage you will start to here a lifter tick... Don’t worry, that’s normal.
Oh & if you gas gauge doesnt work it’s the sender not the cluster. On Pickups it’s super easy to take the bed off & change it... a SUV wouldnt be fun because the tank sucks to drop.
Would you believe me if I said I really love these things?? Most comfortable truck ive been in & they have all been super reliable even @ 200K + miles

When I worked at a dealership we had a Mazda Navajo that we paid 300 bucks for. I wanted it so bad for a winter beater, and maybe an offroader project. I offered the owner/”general manager” 500 bucks for it... Just to find out the only reason they bought the car at all was the owner looking for a hunting rig he could just leave at his cabin.
