2001silverado364 Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 (edited) An 03 with 160k, I'd say 10k, TOPS, but probably not even that. If you're in Ga like you say rust won't be a problem. So just make sure the tranny pulls good and the engine runs smooth for the most part. And of course turn on and try all the electronics. EDIT- The Kbb on a 2003 ss with 160k is $9210.00 Edited August 29, 2011 by 2001silverado364 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f1ss Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 1st spot I always investigate on a vehicle is under the drivers seat. If you find some coins walk away. He most likely cleaned the truck up nicely to show to you, but little things like that show how much he really cared about the truck (wether to put the change back into his pocket or just throw it somewhere in the truck and not care where it winds up). Also check under the passenger seat, same type deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueAKSSS Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 I would just check the engine out make sure it sounds and runs good and doesn't leak oil, and make sure the transmission shifts nice and the front diff isn't making any bad noise while driving down the road. Other than that just the usual paint and interior check and if it passes buy it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f1ss Posted August 29, 2011 Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 (edited) Oh god don't look under my seat! The little spot next to the cup holders, makes a great french fry holder! True that! However my beagle always rides/sits on the center console so I cant have any food in the vehicle or she will eat it, even if its wrapped up. She is a little devil but wouldnt trade her 4 anything. Edit - Back to the topic. I would ask for the vehicles service history. If he hands it over easy/willingly shows its been taken care of imo. Any hesitation I would question it.
