165 and she is like a top. Built the trans almost 2 years ago. But motor and suspension electronics. She is perfection. Perfect body and paint.


Maintenance is key. I have seen 5 year old cars with 60k on them look like shit run like crap and need to be crushed. And I know a guy with a 92 1500 w/T Chevy and it has over 3 burns a quart every other week. But it's like a rock. Maintenance is key.

I'm shooting for 300 an by them I can swap a cool motor or give to my kid. Or whatever. She has been paid for from day one. So she is worth more to me than market value.

Ive never had problems qith suspension on my gm. My old trailblazer had over 100k and drove like a sports car even tho it was 4x4. All i did to it was shocks and general maintnence. If you treat em right then they treat you right

Yeah, I had an 89' GMC truck, that all I do was regular oil changes and of coarse fixed minor issues that came up, had to rebuild the tranny once, and the truck ran great I think I sold it with 220,000 miles on it, and I was 16-19 when I owned it, so of coarse I dogged the crap out of it, made me realize how good GM trucks are.

200k on a 1990 and 200k on a 2010 is two different things.

Older trucks had less crap to break.... and throw out less DTC's.

If you're talking about sensors they are easy to replace :)

Yes....

But stuff like ..... um.....

Like the airbag in the roof, they replaced it in my 2009....... threw the service airbag light forever......

The dealership finally replaced it under warranty.... I was lucky.

Things like this under customer pay is $$$. Older trucks had less crap and had less issues.

I am not bashing new cars ..... Lord knows I have a garage full.....just saying.
