What to look for

**PitchBlackSS** · 01-04-2009, 04:45 PM

Hey everyone, I've been looking for the right truck for a couple monts now and I think I found it. Going tomorrow to see what kind of a deal I can get and what I can get on trade for my 2004 Impala SS. Wondering if you guys can point me in the right direction on what to look for. Any issues with these trucks, recalls, etc.

NBS 2007 Silverado 1500LT 4x4 Ext cab short bed 4.8L. Under 30K miles.

Thanks!!!

Hopfully things work out and I can make this my new home.

What are they asking for it?

$17K, about the right price around here

Thats a low price. Most 4x4's are costing a bit more than that. It all depends on the options that are installed. Are you planing on doing any heavy hauling or towing? If so you might want the bigger motor. If not you should be fine.

nothing crazy, I have a 1982 Malibu wagon that I may trailer to distant shows, but thats very far and few in between. I've used my Dads 4.8L 2000 Silverado for that already without any problems.

Not in NY they arent. They are all crying that they cant sell cars, but they refuse to deal with you. That truck new would sticker around $32K, RedTag gives you $2K off. You are lucky if a dealer gives you an additional $2K.

I can get Ram for $15K under sticker, but I dont like them
