well i looked a 2003 black ss, it has 59,206 miles , they want 18,990. my dad looked at and said it's a clean truck. and we took for a test drive and it was mech. fine.

 

i want to get it, but my parents think its too much for a 6yr truck.

 

the dealer knows i want it, so maybe try to talk them down?

 

its stock.

just waiting to see how much insurance would be.

they say 13 city and 17 highway? is that true ? whats yours?

 

 

my main question is , is that good price?

The wholesale on that truck is $11-13K, the dealer paid no more than $13.5K for it; in the dealer's defense, it has less than 60K on it. Expect mileage to be more like 13/15.5, with a very optimal tune you can get the highway mileage up to 17.

beat up the dealer... give them your number and walk, you have to be in the market to buy an sss to buy an sss, these arent your everyday work truck

 

i agree with booth here. if your gonna buy it just do it. thats not a bad price for a 03 with low miles. like he said its not a regular every day work truck. just haggle with them and see if they will come down some

Reading those numbers make me want to cry. My Toyota is worth more then my SS. :crazy:

I know :( It doesn't mean the truck itself isn't a nice truck or worth less, just that in the current situation we live in it is valued less. Right now is a total buyers market for these trucks as well as many other specialty vehicles.

They won't have people beating their door down to buy it. You could get them to come down, and if they don't, give them a month or two then they'll be deperate to sell it.

I just picked up my 03 SS with 22's and tint 70k on the clock for 13,400 but it was a private owner. People are looking for money right now and will deal, make and offer remember you can always go higher not lower. Good luck!
