Am I the only one who sees rusty pedals and thinking a flood vehicle?
Nope, I was about to mention the same

Not sure about prices in that part of the country, but here? That's low. Real low. Like.. Scam low. Rig like that in my area, in as good of condition as they seem to suggest, would be plucked off the lot in a nanosecond at 10k.

Seems to be a fair bit of rust underneath too. And the tow hooks on the front - never see those things rust. But there they are.

Roll pan on the back looks half assed. Rear wiper delete too. YMMV buying anything that's been modified. Don't know what was done then put back to stock for sale, or the quality of work they do

I'm a bit peeved they don't list the vin either.

Edit: More stuff I'm noticing
- Looks like dent/peeking paint on RR quarter panel
- Rear seatbelt clicker broken
- Paint peeling like hell around console area
- Wheels peeling. And painted over the wheel weights. Half assed job
- Something(?) hanging in the driver's door jamb
- Dash starting to peel near the passenger grab bar
- Driver's seat belt seems to have difficulty retracting
- Looks like the console leather might be peeling
- No roof rack
- Looks like the front bumper is sagging(maybe?). Has scuffs on RF
- Hard to tell from the pic but the hood might be tweaked. Check panel gap on front between driver and passenger


Not trying to scare ya out of the rig. By all means go look at it, but be thorough!

My thoughts:
Almost any vehicle can be made road worthy with enough purchase price, enough repair price, or a combination thereof.
Don't buy this truck unless you are comfortable, willing and able to throw an estimated $3,000 - $5,000 at it over the first 12 months of ownership for potential repairs. That's on top of the purchase price.

Also, as mentioned, you need the VIN to get a carfax before you even go look at it. But I'm with SnowDrifter, this seems "craigslist scam" low priced so be cautious. Good luck though, hope it turns out to be a great pickup for you.

I know I'm nuts, but with the wiper off, and what I AM seeing, is that Yukon badge on the tailgate; it just looks a little too low to me. I'm thinking its a respray. A half-ass respray. They lost the wiper, and probably the rear bumper. Somebody rattle canned the wheels, and thought, "oh shit that looks good." I'm gonna paint the whole thing, then the rust will be gone."

Those two around the wheels pics, (from the actual site are more clear), you can see more rust underneath.

You guys think that's a scammy-low price? Really?

For the condition it's in, that seems like a crack-pipe high price, to me.

Thats what I paid for mine around 2010. Although it had a salvage title though, "stolen." For that price it better be well maintained and garage kept. Its got the 6.0 so i can see being worth a little more than a reg 5.3. Like mentioned before there are a few red flags to check if you decide to take a look at it.

I`m not sure what year denali`s had projector headlights but that one doesn`t have them. OEM replacements are pretty expensive so that`s another point to get them to lower the price.

Lot's of flood vehicles out there...... Inspect inner panels ( in rear?), & under carpet for residue from dirty water and small fish. :fish_h4h:

Carfax is UNRELIABLE !!! A "clean" carfax may mean nothing bad was reported.
No one is required to submit info to that website.
( As in TV commercial )...... " No accidents reported ..." Accent on "reported".

A flood vehicle can be re-registered to another state, showing no " salvage title".

Look at the sales ad..... read the fine print at bottom.
