I drove today by my Chevy dealer and there was a nice Silverado 2005, 2500HD WT.It has the 6.0 engine but does not list the type of transmission .The truck has been traded in and has only 1600 miles on it. Its ext.cab vinyl floors nothing flashy. I got to talk to the manager and he said they will let it go for $ 27.000 .Is this good price? :thumbs: Any input is greatly appreciated

I'd be suspicious right off the bat because 1500 miles is just enough to have been a problem truck for the original owner. Ask to see the service history on it.

I'd get a service history too. 27000 seems a bit high to me, for that price you could get a brand new one especially in a work truck package.

Well I did ask him how the truck got on the used car lot and he said that some one wanted 4 doors and just traded it in. But next I will ask for the service history.

 

Price may be bit hi but what is the right price? If the truck was new it's easy to deal on sticker price but that one is used and I do not know what the sticker price was to begin with.

Here is the MSRP on a similar truck. Infact, if you know the exact options it has just build it on this site.

GMC

They might be able to give you *that* too. Or just copy down the options from the sticker in the glove box and go price out a new one.

I've found that (well, here anyway) for the price and payments of a used truck of only a year old or so, you can get a new one for about the same price. With a new truck, at least you know how you've taken care of it.

My brother just got a brand new 2500 extended cab 4x4 with power everything except leather for 26,500.

I'd be suspicious of a truck only having 1500 miles also.

I'd check new prices, and get the 8.1 if you tow heavy, if for nothing else the extra gear between 2 and 3 or is that 3 and 4. it's like an extra 2k and only lose around 2 mpg and less when you tow heavy.

I just ran a quote through carsdirect.com. They've been spot on for me in the past while working with a local dealer and came up with this...

 

2005 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD 4x2 Extended Cab 6.6 ft. box 143.5 in. WB Work Truck

MSRP Price: $29,820

Invoice Price: $26,460

Manufacturer Rebates:($3,500)

Target Price: $23,710

Pricing as of 05/12/05 in zip code 39042

 

That is the with the 6.0L, Auto, 4.10 Rear, not really many other options

 

For the 4wd, same setup as above:

2005 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD 4x4 Extended Cab 6.6 ft. box 143.5 in. WB Work Truck

MSRP Price: $31,850

Invoice Price: $28,268

Manufacturer Rebates: ($3500)

Target Price: $25,518

Pricing as of 05/12/05 in zip code 39042

 

That doesn't sound like a very good deal to me, I'd tell him to get down to about $22,000 or so if he wants to sell it. :D

Something don't sound right. The guy buys a work truck then 1500 mi later decides he wants 4 doors? The price seems way too high as well. Ask for the previous owners name/phone ask him whats up.

Well what can I tell you guys...the deal is off? I just found out that the truck had transmission replaced and I walked a way from the deal. Why they did not disclosed that at the beginning is beyond me.

Any way I want to thank you guys for the replys, without your help I would have been sucked in

 

Thanks again. John

:D

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By KARNUT · Posted

      More is cylinder deactivation. Kia-Hyundai Ive had 4. The warranty is the same 10 years 100K miles. My grandson drives the first one 05 Elantra GT. My wife drives the second one 2011 Genesis. The Genesis still performs as new and looks great. The Elantra looks rough. He’s not kind to it. The third was a Genesis coup. The fourth was a Santa Fe. Those were my daily drivers. I don’t keep them long. Kia is the same as Hyundai with the same warranty. I looked at the K-4 today. Too small, otherwise pretty good buy. Most of Hyundai and Kia’s have a performance upgrade.

      Oil Consumption

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Great question. Answer....depends. One the volume of the crankcase, the driver that will actually be using the vehicle and the amount it uses plus the distance expected for that next trip. Couple of for instances:   Wife is going to drive Dizzy to Moline and back plus a bit around town so say 500 miles on the day. I know from years with that SUV that around town and local rural it uses about a quart in 1250 miles. But on the Interstate and her at the wheel without her anchor nagging her she'll push it and it will drop a quart in about 800 miles. Hence, around town I wait to somewhere between a quarter down to a quart down. On her trip I'd top it if it was down a few ounces and hope for the best.    Have I overfilled one? You mean by adding before it needs a full quart I assume. No, not once after finding the true fill mark.  I know the dipsticks of everything I drive and add what it needs. I learn this by doing the first oil change a quart low. Run the motor for a few minutes. Let it sit over night. Check and mark. Then add half a cup at a time making note of the place on the stick. I add through the dipstick tube with a barbeque basting bottle. Give it a few minutes to drain down and check again.    A vehicle like Dizzy that uses this much oil will take a few quarts between 3K changes. I keep one in the vehicle with the bottle and a bag. (Mindful of it's fullness) Not a big deal and never makes a mess of it. There is no such thing as "multiple quarts' in my shop for any specific oil. There will be a maximum however of the number of different oils used over the fleet.     Dizzy holds a nominal 5 quarts. So the first fill was indeed over as it actually took 4.75. My vehicles are fit with Valvomax valves so I can meter an ounce on the drain if need be. Found her mark first crack at it. Never to be repeated.    Pepper uses none between changes so I don't keep a quart in that one. Straight up 6 quarts put her dead on the full line. Check it ever fuel stop. They will surprise you when they start using.    Raven holds 3 liters or 5.44 ounces over three quarts. I add 3 quarts and 6 ounces. That gives me 5 oil changes on my orphan quart.    Lawnmower holds about 3/5 of a quart. I don't over fill it to prevent an orphan. So yea, depends.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By Chevy Man for Life · Posted

      185k on original 6.2L engine and 10 speed. 6" lift with 35" tires. Changed oil (Mobil 1 synthetic) when truck told me to. Original tranny with original fluid and no service or flush done. All highway miles. A/C compressor replaced at 155k. Oil cooler line replaced at 180k. Still daily driver. Love this truck.   This is my 3rd 6.2L vehicle (2008 Yukon Denali / 2018 Cadillac Escalade) with over 150k miles and no issues. Denali had broken motor mount at 100k.
