Warden Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Red 03 1 owner truck.Owner is over 60 and a retiree.The truck is being sold from a GM dealer.They are asking 15,900.100,000 miles.It is almost mint and drives tight.,no paint work and cosmeticly almost perfect.Comes with a 90 day 5000 mile warrentie and you can return it within 2 weeks if you decide you don't like it.They offered it to me for 15,800 drive it away all taxs in.They are also going to do this work before I pick it up. Front and rear rotors and pads ,a/c belt and drive belt, 2 axle seals, left and right inner tie rod ends, e brake shoes and springs, 2 marker lights.It sounds like the steering shaft has not been updated and the transfer case chain has never been changed.They want $900 to do the chain.If I take the truck as is without all the work then it is $13,300. What do you think?I won't be insulted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTSSS Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 (edited) I would suggest buying it without the repairs because you will most likely be able to do them elsewhere cheaper Edited March 2, 2011 by CTSSS (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you think?I won't be insulted. OK lemme get this straight - the price of the truck is $13,300 as-is; or they will sell the truck plus new brake pads, tie rod ends, alignment, and belts for $15,800. Let's reason this out: 1. $15,800 - $13,300 = $2,500. 2. Cost at local auto store for new brake pads, tie rod ends, belts, and alignment = $500 (ballpark). 3. $2,500 - $500 = $2,000. 4. It takes 3-hours labor TOPS to swap-out all brake pads, the belts, and the two tie-rod ends. While drinking a soda. 5. $2,000 / 3 = $666/hr for labor. From the description of the truck, I would say $13,300 is an equitable price *if* there is no rust underneath on the body (look for rust at the pinch welds holding the floor & rocker sills together); you could probably get the truck for a grand cheaper in a private sale, but if the truck is as mint as you say I would not dismiss it. Remember that it is AWD so gas mileage will be 12/15. Best advice - if you follow-up on this truck, FOR SURE don't pay them $2500 for a job you can do yourself for $500!!! To me the most compelling point on the vehicle is that it's still mint - that matters a lot. Mr. P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warden Posted March 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 OK Steve.So now you are admitting they get lousy mileage. Oh ya.2 marker bulbs! Take off the tax(this is Canadian pricing).$2175 total.They are using all GM parts.Labour is $85 per hour. Meinecke wants 2177.$1100 in parts and 10 hours labour.I'm not saying I will take their offer but if they do the work they have to stand by the warrentie for the whole truck.You know the old "Well you had the brakes done somewhere else and that is why the trans blew." The plus points are one old man owner,GM warrentie,all service records from GM,mint condition and country truck with hardly any city driving,Minus point. IT'S RED! Thanks for your concern.
