Drive a 15-20 truck, hell just sit in the seat..... worst buckets everThis was helpful to me in my most recent search for a vehicle: https://www.autolist.com/ I also used https://www.searchtempest.com/ and watched Facebook Marketplace and some of the groups to which I subscribe.
That said, for those of you who prefer the 2003 - 2006 seats, does anyone have problems with the seat foam itself? I can't tell if it is just old foam, or if I need something aftermarket; but the seats I have in my Suburban (2005) and my Silverado (2004) make my backside hurt after an hour or two of seat time). Of course, it could just be my backside is too fat for the seat...
actually... all the seats in those trucks suck

I just typed in Facebook Marketplace and put in the info for my search and found several vehicles and also saw the one we have been talking about.
I found the caveat. If you want contact details, you have to join Facebook.

Welcome to the forum from Oregon.
We recommend that you put all your rig(s) info in your signature so we all don’t have to guess at year, make, model, engine size, trans, rear axle locker…….etc. While you may have posted pertinent info in your first post, you may forget to do it again and the info is needed by us anyway. Makes it way easier on all members that attempt to help, to have that info right up front. It is also recommended that you take a pic of your RPO codes, on the inside cover of the glove box, and post that image in your signature. All this info will greatly help those that will try to help with a problem.
If there is any other info, like upgrades, mods or recent mechanical/maintenance work done, that would be helpful in any post as well. Too many times a question is asked by the poster and after about 10 responses we find out that the poster has done recent work to attempt to fix the problem or work that was done that SEEMS not related to the problem.

Or borrow a girlfriend's FB.
I've been using Jenn's lately while searching for a desk. Of course, I find myself browsing vehicles. Found a beautiful '79 Silverado in Magnolia, TX that I've been pining over all day.

No girlfriend, thank God. More trouble than they can be worth. Especially here in the entitlement capital of the Willamette Valley, Eugene, Oregon.

As of just a few minutes ago that 2002 is still up at the Sisters, Oregon CL site and I just texted him about what happened with the guy who got the loan approved. He just texted back while I am typing this. Now the seller says the buyer has to sell his vehicle before he can buy. I thought he said the buyer got his loan approved. Maybe the loan is not enough to buy it outright at the asking price of $9200 from the seller.
I just texted him back with a cash price offer of $7k.

When I got my 02 it was a one owner. Husband died and wife wanted a new vehicle. They were tenants at my self storage facility. All work done at the dealer 1/4 mile away from me. She had all paperwork for all repairs and maintenance done at that dealer. Only problem was a dent in the chrome part of the front bumper behind the license plate. I got it for $3400 if I remember right. The mileage was around 142k. Has ran like a top with only replacing the chrome section of the front bumper and a water pump replacement for repairs. Rest is maintenance work.

All dealers are full of shit. I've dealt with a TON of them--they're all the same.

There is a big problem in this area of dealers posing as individual sellers. I always prefer to by from an owner of the vehicle. Most of those are high miles though. The low mileage is what attracted me to this rig and I knew the price was too steep but I thought maybe he would negotiate. Coming from $9900 to $9200 is not realistic at all and I know that.

Sometimes it’s tough to play “the waiting game”, especially when there’s a dealer involved. They wanna buy low and sell high, that’s how they keep the lights on. But more often than not, they start asking for all the money and turn down decent deals. But if the vehicle is still there after a month or so they start adjusting their expectations. They have to move the vehicle to free up the $$. And there’s always “the other buyer” baloney. Good luck with whatever you do.

I would think that money would get a similar condition/milage 2500.
Yeah, an actual “unicorn” unlike this supposed unicorn.

chances are they never will lower the price.
when i was camaro shopping. i found one at the local ford dealership, they wanted like 21 for it. it had hi miles, bad tires, bad brakes and the body was not 100%, i offered 16k they said no, and no they would not put tires or brakes on it. i left. i searched this cars vin and found out it was there for 3 years. so went back a month later, cars was still there offered the 16 k again they said no again lol told him look you've had this car in stock here for 3 plus years, is it not time to sell it? they said no to 16k again. i left again, never to return....
to show how small a world it is, the car i did buy at a chevy dealer was owned by the father of the guy who owned the ford dealer that was local. the chevy dealer at least worked some on the price.
i should swing by there some time. i told the salesman my plans for it, and the plans are done.

I did just look and the Tahoe is still posted and still asking the same price.

I can't stand people trying to sell something for more than it's worth. Looking at the original window sticker, I don't think this thing even has a locking rear end. It's nice looking, for sure... But it's just not worth that price, no matter where it's located. It's worth 6k, you have to step back and realize it's 3 generations old, and there are another 200,000 of them out there for sale

His whole thing is that it is rare and low mileage. The rare part is the paint job, in his eyes. He calls it a Unicorn. The thing he does not acknowledge in the ad is that the hood has a dent in it just above the driver's side headlight and about 8" toward the center. It's right where the front lip of the hood curls down at the front. My Tahoe has no dents. In the ad pics the glare of the sun hides the dent. At $7k offer I gave him based off of KBB, he says is too low because CarFax says is worth more.
I am not gonna waste my time and efforts with this. I just check every now and then.
I am still trying to negotiate with the guy who owns this Suburban. I am planning on getting a hitch trailer for traveling with.
