What do you guys think ???

[bayareadude84]

Was in Dallas visiting family, Had $$$ burning in my pocket and was in market for another back up SUV and wanted to grab something before the "tax time buyers" hit


SO...................................... after looking a several turds AKA junk "auction flips"



Picked up LOADED 01 1500 autoride 2WD with 246K miles for $1400 cash

Owner said he needed cash for bills and wife got a new equinox ??



Has new LT BF goodrich tires, Battery, Sunroof, Rear DVD system, G80, GT4, stupid rare Z55 chassis


So far noticed it needed wipers, oil/fluids changed, ABS/Brake light on, bad upper radiator hose and needs Camshaft position sensor.



Aside from a few stain on carpet and a funny mildew smell. interior is nice !!! Driver seat is 8 out of 10 !!! No metal visible in seat frame lol


"My half glass full" side still wondering if this was a SCORE or to good to be true ??

Doesn't look too bad, hopefully it's a score and the problem with the abs light is nothing serious. Congrats.

 

[Big Mama]

Score

 

[iamdub]

At that price, I'd say "score" if it has a clean title and decent mileage.

 

[RaiderRodney]

Looks like a score to me!

 

[mountie]

For the price, you can put money in it and still come ahead..... But...

"...that mildew smell"..... I hope it wasn't a flood causing that smell.....

If they avoided an insurance loss & dried it out themselves, there won't be a 'salvage title'.
( Insurance loss would have been a low settlement)

The abs/brake can likely be fixed easy by removing the module and resoldering the joints. Free fix!

 

[Doubeleive]

if they shampooed it and didn't dry it out properly that could be the source of the odor, alternatively if a window or windows were left open and it got rained on for a while that could also be a reason why, if you want to check for flood damage take off a door panel and look inside and/or pull up some of the carpet

 

[watuzi]

You got a great deal.

ya forgot to mention, One of the rear windows doesnt work and the guy had new regulators in a box not yet installed


I'm thinking one of the windows was stuck down for some time, rain water/moisture got in and caused the mildew smell and then they "fixed" up the window


Lots of dirt and debris inside the rear hatch and door jabs ???
