2006 Z71-For sale 70k miles

[15burban]

2200 hours kind of seems like a lot of idling time. Or really slow trips. I know you mentioned short trips must have just been around town. Just basing this off my truck (ram) 135k miles and a little over 3,000 hours total.

The others who may or may not have offered them that much probably didn't look it over as closely as you. I applaud you for looking it over very well.

I think you are spot on at 9k. The only part that bothers me is that paint... I hate that color.

I like either silver, black or white or pewter.

The son/seller, said the 76 year old father drove it back and forth to the grocery store and to visit friends in a retirement community. Then was pulled in garage.

The seller texted me that he says the engine and transmission are the heart of the vehicle and the concerns/problems I showed and pointed out to him are minor and he knows what he has and it's value. That tells me I am still in his head and he did not call any of the so called "$10k to $13k" offers, he had already turned down. I texted back that whoever checks it out and finds what I found will walk away at his price and he may sell to a rube that does not know what is going on. I also reminded him that right at that moment he still has the ad up saying there are no scratches. I asked how he sleeps at night? I then reminded him that I showed him to his face, all of the concerns and why. My offer of $9k is as high as I go.

Those are DIC readout engine hours. Not just idle time.

Hopefully he comes to his senses and works a deal with you. Nice looking ride.

Ever since I asked how he sleeps at night, there has been no contact and the ad is still up and is still at $15k and still says no scratches. A rust free truck like that should have been sold by now.

 

[Fless]

I wouldn't worry about it; at some point he'll have a sucker, reduce the price, or keep it. He has your contact info and it's clear that he can't be honest with even himself about it.

I actually ran in to my shop owner buddy's dad today and got a close up look at his 2004 2500HD Silverado 4x4 crew cab short bed. I got a "w*o*o*d*y". There is actually no scratches or dents, interior is perfect and the engine compartment looks like mine only with a 6.0. We talked and now I am gonna help him find his replacement truck so I can have his.

You hurt his sensitive bits.

Did everyone forget? The DIC includes an hour meter as well, if your worried about a lot of idling time. Then of course, look closely at things like belts, hoses, battery cable ends, brakes, loose or missing fasteners and braces, etc.

I posted the hours from the DIC.

Bottom line, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. That guy thinks he has a prize. It's really only worth what someone will pay for it. I usually buy really high mileage vehicles that are clean and they have treated me well, but that's me. Risk/reward. All my vehicles have over 200k miles on them, just need to take care of them.

This is on the 2006 Tahoe Z71 Silver Birch Metallic, that I looked at the other day.

Well, the guy has big b*a*l*l*s, I will tell you that. He added a pic of the big scrape to the list of CL pics, added wording in the ad to describe the scrape and get this, he upped the asking price by $3k to a total of $18k Or Best Offer.

The size of his balls will make them easier to kick with the Best Offers he manages to get.

Before, he just listed it at $15k and now it is $18k Or Best Offer

'OR Best Offer'.
That's enough to get an education.
