Need more pics of lift and tires looks like a 6" kit but I'm not sure from the pic.

 

[mdestb3st]

ya i asked the lady for more pics and she gave me an interior pic bascially just showing the trunk...that helps
ill ask her for more in a little

 

[Modded]

Thinks its a 4" Rancho (says it), looks good to me!

 

[mdestb3st]

when they say rebuilt tranny
i mean obviously its a good thing its rebuilt but does that mean that it messed up before?
my brother says it might of been rebuilt cause of the lift kit or something along those lines
but im assuming it messed up on her...?

 

[Max]

Lifted or lowered doesn't matter the trans can shit at any time. Bigger tires and wheels will put more stress on the driveline but it isn't a huge issue with a truck with that small of a lift. Try getting a picture of the front suspension and I can tell you which kit is installed.

 

[mdestb3st]

ya i was thinking it wouldnt matter about the lift...stupid brother lol
and iight man i will...post the pics up as soon as i get them

I would try and get it for a little less. I got my 02 Z71 for $8k w/ 95k miles. Didn't have a lift or aftermarket wheels though, however that stuff isn't worth much when it's on a vehicle.

 

[mdestb3st]

ya the price is negotiable
it might not be worth alot when its on the vehicle, but it's still there haha

 

[BlackDenali]

Looks like a good starting point and looks to be in good shape as well! I say $11k to $12k go for it. My $.02

 

[Max]

Hustle them down another grand or so and I'd do it up. Truck looks to be in good shape.

 

[Greg254]

it was in a wreak if you look at the front panel it's a different color than the rest of it they repainted it

 

["350Vortec"]

Hmm, greg seems to be right. the panel is a different color. Give that Vin # a checkout man.

Any car/truck that has been customized is going to be worth a good bit less than a clean stock truck. Unless it has all the customizations you want or need, or that you would do, then it may be worth more to you, but don't tell them that. Use KBB and Edmunds to get a good baseline then negotiate down from there.

The issues are, you never know much about the customizations, who did it and what corners were cut and etc. Have it inspected. In the past, I have brought cars home to hand wash them, this gives you a close up inspection of the paint, the undercarriage and etc. I have found paint issues in the past, evidence of accidents and abuse.

Remember, you can't loose what you don't have, so look at like a business deal until you sign the paperwork. Don't get emotional or you will loose.

But, it looks like a nice truck.

 

[mdestb3st]

well it might look different because of the angle of the sun, ya no?
but i'll check it out, ill have to inspect it realllly well or just take it to a mechanic and have him inspect it.
it is pretty clean though
and really it is everything i need, just add exhaust, engine mods, and audio

 

[ROBERTOcritser]

damn that seems like a good deal to me. I got mine all stock with 118k miles for $10,900 plus a $2000 warranty. That truck looks sick as **** to me. maybe a lil bit bigger tires but other than that its tight. and yea its prolly been wrecked. I found out mine had been wrecked about 3 or 4 moths after I bought it but it runs fine and no problems. and I noticed it the same way you guys did. The paint on the drivers front quarter panel was off color from the rest. but it could just be the sun in the pic for yours.... no tellin til you get up close with your own eyes. and if you open the hood and look at the panels bolts, if you can see that they have been removed and put back then thats a clear indicator of a wreck.

 

[mdestb3st]

ya ill text her tomorrow and ask if its a clean title, im assuming it is why would she go through the mess of not saying it is
but when i check it out thats probably the first thing ill look for

 

[Eagle]

clean title does NOT mean unwrecked.

clean title means never salvaged/totalled.



Persons with big heavy arses have been spending a LOT of time in that truck. even the back seats are all stretched.

I'd be having it checked out thoroughly, and offering 10-11 at best.
