They can ask whatever they want for it. Questions is--Will they get it?? You know what they say tho--"There's a sucker born every minute".

Yet another reason I never buy a rig that has been detailed completely. I don't mind when the outside and inside is looking good but I never want the engine compartment detailed. I want to see everything fresh, leaks are what I am looking for. Typically a detailed engine compartment is hiding something.

I keep mine clean so I can spot any leaks that may crop up and get to it right away and I will have a good idea where it is coming from when a engine is dirty it's hard to tell could be anything.

I like mine clean too, for the same reason, but when I am buying, that is a whole other story. I always take a floor jack and at least one jack stand with me to allow for my big ass to get under there with a bright flashlight. I also have my full shop coveralls with me so I don't get grimy dirty.

I wonder what's up with that headliner issue. Doesn't have a sunroof--that I noticed. Maybe leaking through the roof rack? I've always liked those older ones. Great interior layout--dash, center console is great imo. Great deal if it goes cheap.

If I had more time and energy......

BTW- a 2007 Yukon Denali XL went for $ 6800 last month on this same site.

I need one of those like a hole in my head .....

At $5k+ not worth it to me with all those issues.

My older son is wanting this to try and fix up. Told him he needs to do the negotiation with my help.

 

[OR VietVet]

It has potential and would be good for a father/son project. Like a year or so, time wise for the project?

Sounds like it has alot of potential. Even if the motor is no good, those older Vortex motors are cheap. I bet you can get it for $1k--$1200. It would be an awesome father/son project. Good luck, I hope you guys can snag it!

Going to try and go look at it this weekend. Also looking at a 97 GMC K2500 Extended Cab with a 454.

 

[Tonyrodz]

454's are cool, but that one is probably all smogged up.

Those H2 are bringing big bucks used. That on is trashed for sure, but I ve seen these bring 20k in GREAT shape.

What a great way to spend time together. Those will be memories that last a life time. Just remember to take lots of pics along the way. The pics of the build thread will take second place to the bond you too will create.
