new daily - 2001 Sierra C3

[smrr1]

I think you're off your rocker, but the same has been said about me! LOL

I've been told that before but i always get my money back. I've had 28 vehicles in the last 17 years and lots of them have been older super low mile trucks. I don't think about the age as much as the miles condition and options. If i told you i got a 1 owner 21,000 mile AWD Sierra Denali for $15,000 i think that would be well received and that is pretty much what i did. What made me ok about it is that the same year Sierra SLT Z71 books for equal money. Don't think i'll come out too bad when i decide to let it go.

i paid $15,000. i looked up values and due to the low production they are all over the board. kbb puts it over $20,000 and nada right at $12,000. looked up a same year and mileage sierra slt z71 and it came out to $15,000 so that is the number i went with. he had it on ebay and didn't reach reserve. got to $14,077 and had a buy it now for $18,700. i contacted and went to look at it. he wanted $17,000 but accepted $15,000. i know it is a lot for a 13 year old truck but for a 1 owner 21,000 awd loaded sierra i think it is descent.

If it doesn't have electric fans I would put some on it. Other than that rock it as is

Then why the wear on the driver's seat?

he was fat and short legged and moved it around the shop frequently

[smrr1]

on a vehicle that original, that clean, and that low mile? that would be the ONLY way to go IF you're going to do exhaust

but man, you're going to pick up 5-10hp tops? leave it 100% OG, put a tune on it, and enjoy

just my .02

i would just be looking mostly for the sound. it has enough nuts for a dd already. its just so quiet. tune would be for efficiency only. i got the mustang if i feel the need for more power.

not rolled. 78 year old man that had more money than brains. it was in climate controlled storage. it still had the original tires on it when i picked it up.

that thing is MINT!!!!!! not my choice of "toy", but PLEASE don't fuck it up with exhaust... keep it clean, put a tune on it, and drive it

mind if I ask what you paid?

if i did exhaust it would be a nice corsa system but those aren't cheap and i am now broke.

I do 80-120k/yr, and the wife does 22k... I guess it makes sense that my life revolves around vehicles as we drive them so much! LOL

Hell im 31 years old and on average i drive less than 5,000 miles a year.

i wish. i do 15-20,000 a year personal and around 35,000 in my work truck. it gets old.

That's awesome! Beautiful example of the nice C3!

thanks. the c3 is new to me. kinda remember them back in the day but never knew much about them. hated the quadrasteer trucks and never gave these a second thought because of the association. something like 9800 made in 2001 and then changed to denali from what i have found.
