Here We Go Again...

hockeypro1411 · June 23, 2008

hey guys i need some help. im lookin for a truck and ive narrowed it down to these two (maybe). i want an hd, but cant justify a 6 liter engine, so thats that. the first Truck is newer, but its got 28k miles and its only a year old. that sort of worries me. i like the color better, but i can get over that. the second Truck is an 03, however it has an average amount of miles for 5 years. i do like the extra lights. however, the leather seats and color arent necessarily negatives, but id like it better without. they both come with toolboxes. which of these trucks do you guys think would give me the most "bang for my buck"? and i feel bad for askin, but could someone run the vins for me?

1st truck- 1GCEC19007Z508772

2nd truck- 2GCEK19T931333485

I'd go with the '07 no question. So what if it has a lot of miles for it's first year.

+1. It's broke in.

jhoff8487 · June 23, 2008

If you can afford the 07, I'd go 07. It's still got a warranty for a little bit in case a problem pops up.

MS3DALE · June 23, 2008

Me....I like the '03,Because its 4-wheel-drive and it has the rare Quadrasteer option (Thats why it has the extra lights)

Although I don't care for the color

Also,It does not have the OE wheels/tires on it,It has wheels/tires from a Z71 Avalanche,so keep that in mind if you buy it and need a replacement wheel or center cap.

2000DV4.8 · June 23, 2008

I'd go with the '03 just because I personally would never own a 2wd truck, but if you don't need the 4wd, go with the '07.

98silvz71 · June 23, 2008

Quadrasteer, Quadrasteer, Quadrasteer! I love the 03 for that. Always thought that the quadrasteer was a good idea with just not enough people to think it was. Get the 07 if you don't need 4wd or get that 03 if you do. Or just don't listen to any of us and pick what you like best and can afford.

geektoad · June 23, 2008

+1

What everyone else said.

I just wanted to add one thing. Call it a peeve of mine when talking about buying cars, but anyway here it is.

It's 28K miles vs. 68K miles, period. Full stop. It doesn't matter if it was put on in a week or 10 years. The amount of wear from those miles doesn't change. Maybe the guy that put on 28K in a year commuted in it and babied it in every way while the guy that put on 68K in 5 years towed, plowed and wheeled it for every one of those miles.

Look at the mileage for what it is, not the time it was accumulated over.

hockeypro1411 · June 23, 2008

wow lots of good info here! thanks for the vin info dale. i appreciate it. i didnt see that the 07 was only 2wd; must've slipped through the filter. right now im leanin more towards the 03 because of the 4wd, and that way i can brag to people that i have quadrasteer . also with the 4 grand id save i can buy some aftermarket stuff, or gas for about 4 days lol. while we're on the topic, anything i need to look out for when buying a leveling/lift kit because of the qudrasteer? thanks again.

svensk · June 23, 2008

Disregard my statement above. After looking at the codes for both get the older truck. It has 3.73 gears, 4x4 and the quadrasteer trucks come with a Dana 60 rear end. (Good for 800hp if you want it)

wlvrn1215 · June 23, 2008

go for the 4x4!!!! better deal.

hockeypro1411 · June 23, 2008

yea the codes told me basically all i need/want to know. the 3.73 rear end in the 03 is a major plus over the 3.42 in the 07. i also like the 4 disc brakes. i think i would be happiest with the 03. the 4x4 is nice to have, but id probably keep in it 2wd most of the time unless i go out n play or it snows, rains, ect. any insight on the quadrasteer level/lift question as previously mentioned would be dandy. thanks again guys

Darkanion · June 23, 2008

I must be missing something here. You're asking which one is the best bang for the buck. But, I'm not seeing how many "bucks" we're talking about for each truck...?
