BlueAKSSS Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Welcome to the site! How much are they asking for the SS? They don't have to many problems if well taken care of and not modded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Welcome to the site. The only problem I ever had was the infamous steering cluck. But it was under warranty. over 60,000 miles and still still drives like a new car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zachm89 Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 First off, welcome to the site! Secondly, I'm sure you would be more than pleased with the truck. I have just over 100,xxx miles on my 04 and still running strong. Luckily for you with an 07 you dont have any of the AWD parts to worry about. Only thing I could recommend is check out the tranny and make sure it is shifting well and if you plan to mod the truck at all make it a priority to beef up the trans. G/l man!

scootertrash19 Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Seem's like a lot of miles for a '07, maybe the price will make up for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G/l man! why would i be lucky about not having AWD parts? i thought all ss silverados were all wheel drive. the 07 has 50k miles and theyre asking $23998 w/ out used certifed warranty in south bay ca the 06 has 38k miles and thyre asking $27895 w/ gm USED Certified warranty in santa paula ca i found another 03 ss for $21,000 for with 53k miles w/out gm used certified warranty and chrome non ss stock rims (sux bc i love the stock ss rims) Edited September 10, 2010 by mrgoodbar67 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were only AWD from 2003-2005 and in 2005 it was an option to have AWD so some of the 2005's are 2WD. All 2006 and 2007 model years are 2WD.

mrgoodbar67 Posted September 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 REALLY? THE PRICES ARE HIGH FOR THE 07'S? I CHECKED THE BLUE BOOK VALUE AND ITS ABOUT THE SAME. WHAT WOULD BE A GOOD PRICE FOR AN 07 WITH MILES B/W 30K-50K? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
