You guys think a 2014 Silverado 1500 LTZ with 190k miles for 17k is a good buy??

I wouldn’t do it. I paid 27K for my loaded Texas edition new. And paid 6K for my 02 z-66 Avalanche. With 168K. It’s a cream puff. I’d keep looking.

Too many miles. Every truck is inflated because of shortages. Look up potential problems with 14 Chevy trucks. If you can handle potential repairs that may arise  go for it.

Would you say it’s priced to high? Cause it was originally at 18,500 and they dropped it down to 17k

Welcome to the site.

 

Do you have a link to where the truck is being sold? 

You have not given a lot of information about the rig.

You obviously want it, go for it. And engine for that truck is 12-14 installed. Cylinder deactivation on those is a crap shoot. GM has already changed how that works. I wouldn’t buy a engine with that regardless of the mileage.

Not a bad looking truck.

 

Price seems to be in line, lower than other trucks because of miles and just 2WD.

Have you had a chance to drive it? Any records available? They list it as a one owner.

Gonna test drive tomorrow and they showed us proof of the clean title and yeah it’s 1 owner I’m pretty sure

Today's low vehicle supply not-with-standing, $17k for a nearly 200k mile 2wd truck seems crazy.  If this is being financed, you'll likely be paying it off long after the vehicle has reached its end of life.  It *looks* nice, but looks can be deceiving; my friend started a simple tune-up on a customer's '75 Beetle Convertible with perfect paint that turned into a full blown restoration after he found that the heater channels were 2x4s glassed into place, and the "new" floor pans weren't even riveted into place, they were siliconed!  At that mileage, you're looking at wear on every moving part: engine, transmission, axles, differential, suspension... so you'd better plan to have several grand on the side for immediate repairs.  For perspective, I purchased my 2016 over 2 years ago as a CPO for $24.5k with 70k miles.

 

KBB puts that truck between $10-14.5k.  Closer to 10 seems more accurate, I've seen 4x4 trucks with half the mileage (of all brands) on CL in that price range.  Do you *need* a full size truck, or will a mid-size do the job?  You may or may not be able to find one in that size for cheaper; unless you need the tow capacity of a full-size, a mid-size is a much more convenient truck to drive/park every day IMO.

You're money, but I would pass.

Unless you're in need of a truck right now wait.

My brother in law is a long haul GM truck and suv owner. He buys CPOS mostly. Usually the wife drives them first to about 200K. Then he drives them. The newest one gets the bulk, trips etc. 200k to 300k is a crapshoot. In reality 150K up. All his looked good. Add in all the electronics, cylinder deactivation. It’s just more to go wrong. Look up the most reliable on the net. Newer GMs are out of the top ten. With the tundra at number 1 for full size.

      Trim level custom/pro

      By Another JR · Posted

      Are you going to take long trips in it?  If so, try out the seats in the various trims. For me the lower trim level seats were not comfortable.

      I have a 2016 that I bought new and still own. I'm around 129,000 miles now. The biggest problem was a transmission failure about 2 years ago around 95000 miles. No warning, just failed while driving down a back road. A reman GM transmission installed and it's been fine ever since. A few other minor problems along the way. I am in no hurry to replace it. It's been paid off long ago and do plan on driving this as long as I can.   I will admit I am leery about all the additional electronics in the newer models and feel that it is just more potential problems. I think there's actually more than I would have wanted in this 2016 but so far so good. I think even if something major like lifter failure happened, it would still be cheaper to at worst, drop a new engine in than buy a new vehicle.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I’ve own several successful businesses. I’ve bought homes and lived in different states. I’d witness several generations buy homes and survive in different economic circumstances. You get awful sippy when people have different experiences than you do. You live a life. I’ve lived a life. It seems our experience has been different. You can point out generalized statistics. Some people learn how to thrive when the odds are against them. Living in different states does make a difference in a persons quality of life and economic outcomes and opportunities. That’s a fact Jack. It’s my truth, my life. Hard work and long hours the right environment made my families life easier. And yes moving to a different state increased the odds of that happening. Stats are generalized. People who thrive don’t make excuses. They beat the odds. Others get mad and point to those statistics. I guess that’s you. My post pointed out how you helped people beat the odds. Somehow your panties got in a wad. Go figure.

      Point of the post sir was that while both wages and cost are rising EVERYWHERE; the cost is rising faster EVERYWHERE than the ability to buy EVERYWHERE. We're not going down the location rabbit hole. I'm aware of what economic migration is. I've lived in four states including Texas.   It's what "Purchasing Power" means.   I'm not telling you what I think. I'm telling what the government, your government, data shows.   It wasn't an argument. It wasn't a suggestion. It was a statement of FACT. You are absolutely entitled to your own opinion. Your not entitled to your own facts. If you and I were, they wouldn't be facts.    fact /făkt/   noun Knowledge or information based on real occurrences. "an account based on fact; a blur of fact and fancy." Something demonstrated to exist or known to have existed. "Genetic engineering is now a fact. That Chaucer was a real person is an undisputed fact." A real occurrence; an event. "had to prove the facts of the case." The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition • More at Wordnik   If you'd like to disagree call your Senator or Representative and let him know his departments are in error. But you and I? We are not doing this.
