No, not for me.
My buddy's mom has been talking about getting a truck for well over a year now. Think she gave up on it for a while but recently a truck appeared right down the road and it sounds good so far. My buddy called me asking about it and I told him what I knew but I'm 700 miles away right now so can't help too much.
2000 Chevy regular cab long bed 2500 4x4. Automatic and we THINK 6.0L. Buddy says it's a LS and looks fairly loaded. Newer AT looking tires and a 5th wheel hitch or something in the bed.
He's not an expert but that's what I have to go off of until I can see it later this week. He does say it looks well kept up and cared for.
47,000 miles. Yep, 47 thousand miles.
Dad had a 2000 2500 extended cab shortbed 4x4 about ten years ago and it was an old man luxo boat special including running boards and lame factory small tires. Good truck though. However he only owned it for a few years and put very low miles on it.
I know some about this era truck from dad and a bunch of my friends owning them. Personally I'd probably never buy one. However if it was in good shape it'd probably be ideal for her. She just wants to use the bed every now and then and have a good vehicle for driving to work in the winters.
What should I look at and check over?
Guy's asking $10,500 which is a little high but KBB says is about a grand high. She'll probably pay cash and if it's as good as it sounds I'll tell her to take $9500 cash and wave it at them.
