Theres a great database called Kelley Blue Book. What price does that tell you its worth?

 

https://www.kbb.com/

 

You are missing several details for me to do the search for you, but with my guessing, $5000 is in the range for a private party deal.

Using standard options, KBB comes back around $4300 in lower Alabama. Go to the KBB site, plug in the options on the truck along with your zip code and get the price in your area

If it's in really good shape they can ask whatever they want for it. The rust is an issue though in my book. If it's that bad it would be not worth it to me.. maybe closer to 4k. Rust is one of those things that once it starts it's pretty much impossible to stop.

 

Sold my '04 Denali last year due to the fact that everything underneath was Rusty and I'd get a rust shower Everytime I got underneath it. Engine and tranny and everything else ran like a top. However, it was just a matter of time before I had a structural issue with it.

It also depends on whether you are buying or selling it. Every truck of that age has rusty rockers and wheel wells. It has low miles, so that is good.

 

Bottom line is, you provided minimal info above. If you really want good opinions, you need to tell us the whole story and attach photos.

Hell no, bad deal.

 

I just bought my 2002 Suburban LS 1500 4x4 for $1,100. I would never spend $5,000 on a 15 year old rig. Go on Craigslist, and set up an automatic email alert. Tell it to search by year, make, model, price, etc. Every time a new posting shows up with your search criteria, you will get an email. Each morning sit down in front of your computer with a cup of coffee and browse the new sections. Wait until you see a deal that is so good, that even if the tranny blows up the day after you bought it, its STILL a great deal. If you buy a $5k rig, and it blows a tranny - you bought a $7,500 rig. Be patient, and look at 10 rigs before you buy one.

With the little bit of info you gave its hard to say, but I'd say that is in the right price range.Not sure where you live but here in Maryland, you won't find any 2000 silverado with that rust, I work on hundreds of these trucks a year and they all have it. Miles are right, give a little more info and I could give you a better idea. But $5000 seems relatively fair if its in good mechanical condition

      Around 2008 if memory serves they took sulfur out. That was when diesel went up.

      Gas Prices

      Question for you Grumpy, why is diesel so much more than gasoline? Seems to me that it may be slightly a little less refined than gas and it doesn't have 10% alcohol which presumably lowers the price of gas

      Thanks, so being a different beast altogether, anyone know what the "optimal" temp is for the 10L80/90 for proper shifting?

      How many years have I pointed out every point in that link to the folks here and been avalanched with criticisms and outright hostilities at times? I ran counter to even the great CUSTOMBOSS and Lake Speed Jr and the half dozen experts on YouTube and in the final.....GM, Physics (Stribeck) backs that Grumpy old Bear.    Honestly, I never said a thing engineering hadn't studied silly and laid in concrete during WWII. But I'm old, the information is old and yet, the Laws of Physics are eternal.    Okay there is one exception. I vehemently disagree with their use of the word 'tolerances' when what it meant is "clearance".   The clearance is the distance between two objects. The tolerance is the degree of acceptable variation permitted in that clearance. I.E., piston to bore clearance is 0.004" with a tolerance of +/- .0002" so the clearance is in specification if it lies between 0.0038" and 0.0042". Cutting that 'tolerance in half has ZERO impact on lubrication requirements. Makes for more difficulty in manufacturing.  But a tighter clearance 'MAY'. Depends on finish. Anyway....   It's one of those statements made by people to make themselves look smarter than they are to convince people who are as un-enlighten as they seem to manipulate their behaviors. But hey, the blind leading the blind puts them both in the pit.

      Out and about yesterday on a long Saturday drive I passed a lot of Shell stations. My preferred, so I pay attention. Lot's of small town Illinois so not six stations in three blocks like the city.    Everyone of them over a radius of say 100 miles had regular at $4.19 but one which was the one closest to home at $4.15. However Premium pricing varied greatly between 85 cents over regular to $1.50 over. I'm not counting the price of the station with the lowest regular so the reference is the same for the remainder and all within the same brand. However the spread discrepancy holds across all brands.     @txab, any thoughts on that?
