I like it at about $6k. That is with the roof rack gone, the inside cabinetry and floor panel gone and the winch and winch guard gone. I can take or leave the CB. I would still need to inspect and drive it as well.

You also need to remember that Oregon does not use salt on the roads. We have no rust issues here. If you have a rig at the coast, you can see some surface corrosion but no rust through like I see in some of the pics of rigs in different threads.
What does this statement mean? Referring to baby boomers? Uninformed? I am just curious.

Yea, at 67 years old and still kickin', I am proud to be a Baby Boomer.
The last few posts that I have read of yours on various threads here in the forum are just like this, completely non-value adding and somewhat rude. Please add to the discussion instead of just throwing pot shots out there. You make a general statement here about people being mis-informed yet you do nothing to help “inform”. On Tony’s NorCal post about being there to help folks, you accuse him of spamming his stuff all over Facebook and here even though he is a supporting vendor of this forum.
There are plenty of other truck forums where your approach is welcome and expected, but that’s not how we roll here. From the way I see it with these types of posts and the fact that since 2015 you’ve posted 105 times, you’re a seagull member that swoops in once in a while, makes a lot of noise and craps all over stuff then flies off.

I did get an email back this morning from the 2500 Suburban guy. He said he would sell it without the rack and goodies on the rack, without the rear cabinetry and no floor panel and without the winch and the winch guard. His asking price is $7900. I told him I would not pay that and that even rating it at very good in KBB and with the 186000 miles on it that I am at $6k before I even drive there to look at it.
He has been using it for "overland" driving with the goodies all in it and showed in his supplied pics, a pic of him parked with a some other off road vehicles from Arizona and California and they are all equipped with winches, so that leads me to believe that he is really flexing that suspension and it may need steering and suspension work and could even have more problems under there. I want it for the street and it may be a can of worms going thru it. I am not willing to take that chance at a $7900 asking price.
I listen to a local, car radio show. The guy is nationally syndicated, but that wasn't the point. We are, according to him, in a used car price bubble. With manufacturers stepping up production, he expects the bubble to burst within the next 6 weeks. He does say, unfortunately, that dealers will have their high priced stock left to liquidate, so it may be several weeks beyond that before prices drop properly.
Watch out! Listening to talk radio is rather Boomer-like and a source of misinformation according to some folks.

I see in your signature the Suburban Quadrasteer. What years were those on the 2500 series?
I believe 2003 - 2005.

I got an ‘03 with only 88K miles on it a couple years ago for $6250.
I searched Craigslist for eight months looking for it. Flew Feom Denver to Salt Lake City then drive to Idaho to buy it.
I love it. Still haven’t hit 100K

Gotta post a pic of that baby.

I don't get that. :-( I found the perfect vehicle for me, and they were asking $17k for it (it was another quadrasteer). They were willing to go down to $15k, but then they wanted tax, title, and license on top of that. I walked away. They sold it about 10 days later. No idea for how much.

Good used rigs like that are at a premium right now, at least in Oregon anyway.
