Did I pay too much?

Kind of a major point...

Nice ride

I just paid 5k for a 2dr 96 black Yukon GT 4x4 with 96k miles. Mint inside and out with a little rust on frame. Stopped rust with rust-oleum and gave it a tune up. Runs great and is awesome off road. I haven't seen one like it yet.

that sounds like a pretty good deal really. mine had very little rust on it when i got it. 2 bad spots. and this winter destroyed it.. my worst spot rusted all the way through. i dont know the first thing about body work so i dont attempt anything. id say yours was a good deal. any pictures?

How old is the rebuild?

i bought my 96 2dr with about 120k on it for about $5400 guy wanted 6k+ for it its pretty damn clean for a truck thats seen 15 new york winters and i dont really see so many other 2dr tahoes or yukons in the area and they have alot of rot and the rest around here are 4dr so im happy

I looked here in the Northeast for 8 months before buying my 97 two door in North Carolina.
I paid $8K plus another $500.. to have it trucked up to me.
I had unique requirements though, looking for a bone STOCK, one owner, barn door vehicle with less than 95K miles and wait for it.............with NO RUST.

Did I overpay, probably but.I got what I wanted
The good news was that It had just gotten 4 brand new tires and I have all records showing maintenance. Recent work; an intake set including plugs, wires and cap along with oil cooler lines.
Over the 8 months most vehicles I saw were $4.5K to $6.5K and all needed more additional money spent to get to my personal standards.

One thing i didn't ask about and probabaly could/would have been a deal breaker is my vehicles original owner was a smoker; I am not.

Working on that issue right now having bombed the interior with Smoke out and now working the A/C system with BG Frigi clean/fresh products.

New carpets and Leather seats are probably in my future as well.

So far I've replaced stock cassette radio with a stock Cd, added the cubby in place of the remote CD.
I've added Homelink and a temp/compass mirror and am working on adding heated mirrors.
Rear defrost is still kicking my ass, but i'll figure it out with you all helping out.

Sorry for the long winded post but in the end I have what I wanted.

yes! i paid just over $5K for mine a few years back bone stock with 160K on the clock. Indiana winter has taken a toll on mine as well, suer project...

 

[992door]

You paid half as much for yours as i did mine. I paid 12k for mine with 84k on it. But that was in 2005

ya new york winter put a couple small holes on the bottom of my doors and my rocker panels, so this summer im gonna take care of the rust and bed line it from the body line above the molding down

 

[BlkYukon95]

I traded a 91 Wrangler straight up for mine. I had to do basically all front end parts (ball joints, tie rods...), started, radiator, battery and a tune up. It is a 95 with 107k on it.

Last winter put some rust on the bottom so I will be fixing and them going to Herc the bottom black.

The leather seats are tan and ripped though. I have no idea what I want to do with them though. Recovering is f'ing expensive, I hate seat covers, and I dont really want to buy cloth seats to put in...

 

[yukonfever99]

If you paid 6g for a 95 then my 99 is worth 11,000 wanta buy another. HA

 

[FilthyHOE]

I was able to pick up a 99 Hoe for $1500

I put a bunch of $$ into it probably another $600 plus my time

here is the quick list...

Replaced the front diff with a low mile Junk yard diff

removed, disassembled and replaced a bearing in my Transfer case

Replaced the Pitman arm (this is a PITA)

Installed Traler brake controller and 7 pin recepticle.

Changed all the fluids also (which is why I changed the front diff)

Love the Truck, drives smooth and has gobs of power

Fuel mileage is no different than the 88 Burb I retired

 

[felskee]

not to bad...my dumb pops picked mine up for 9k a couple years ago. he didnt know the real value till he got home and found out he payed 6k+ more than he coulda. its a black 2 dr, 99

Why did they stop making the 2 doors??

The car industry was changing, Ford stopped making the Bronco, replacing it with the Expedition and the market for 2 door full sized SUV's wasn't big enough for GM to continue with it when they made the new body style in 2000/01. I'd still go out and buy one if they made a brand new one, but with gas prices being what they are, I'm probably one of the few.

All that said, I still wish they'd restart that line of trucks, but its just not likely to happen.
