That is a great truck. It's good to look the truck over thoroughly before buying it, but those models didn't have any major issues. But that price seems a little high. What's the blue book value?

That price is definitely high. I would think at least 1k to high...probably more.

It is a bit higher than the KBB value so I would have to talk them down about 1000 to 1500, but if that can happen, how is the engine and tranny? Are they going to hold up for a while to come? What kind of gas mileage can i really expect to get?

Well that one sold this morning...
But here are a few more I am interested in and would like an opinion on:

If I'm being honest, I'm not sure I am crazy about any of them. The 03 Chevy looks decent but the dude that wrote the add gives me a bad impression. The last one looks like it was beat and the first one seems well over priced.

Maybe more pics would give me a different impression but if I were you, I'd be patient and keep looking. You'll find a nice truck.

Yeah I'm not lookin to buy today or anything. Just trying to get an idea of what is good and what I should be on the lookout for

i wouldnt waste my money on a 4.8 pretty much same fuel mileage as a 5.3 from what i have read

FuzzyB · by **FuzzyB** » Mar 31 2012, 10:34pm

I had a 2000 Sierra with a 4.8 and ran it to over 170k miles. Nothing wrong with the motor but I rarely towed anything. Was just a daily driver for the most part. If just using it to run around that motor is ok.

By the way, I sold that truck a year ago for $5500 and thought that was a very fair price. 4 door Ext cab 4x4 in above average condition, one owner. Maybe that will give you some perspective??

hamiln · by **hamiln** » Mar 31 2012, 10:36pm

What kinda fuel mileage were you getting?
