Option Prices For 2000 Silverado


Recommended Posts

Posted

Does anyone have a retail list of option prices for a 2000 Silverado? I'm doing a comparison of original option costs versus what my insurance company wants to give me on my totaled 2000 Silverado. I've done some searching on the internet and nothing really comes up. Thanks for your help.

I do,I still have an Edmund's Buyers Guide from 2000,What options are you looking for prices for?

 

As far as what they want to give you for your truck,I know now most insurance companies go by what other similiar vehicles are selling for in your area.

Yeah,But I don't think KBB will give him what the original options cost back in 2000,Just what the truck is worth today.

Thanks MS3DALE.

 

The options the insurance company is adjusting for are:

 

LT package

Power seats

Leather Seats

Heated seats

A/C

Rear Defogger

Keyless entry

Cassette

Aluminum/Alloy wheels

Theft Deterrent/Alarm

Fog Lamps

Heated Mirrors

Trailering Package

(Sprayed in bedliner)

 

I know most of these options were included in the LT package, but the insurance company applied a value to the components when doing their comparison to other vehicles sold.

 

The big disagreement I have with the insurance company is the value attached to a CNG conversion kit installed through the AZ dealership at the time of purchase. They say it adds about 5-9 % increase in value to the vehicle based upon their comparison of vehicle sold with/without this conversion (and there aren't many in AZ) . They used mostly CA vehicles in their analysis or December sales. (the claim is from Sept when gas prices and sales were significantly higher than they are now)

 

I say the CNG should have a value in proportion as the other options, since there is limited local "comps". So to prove my case I want to show them my analysis before we have to go to arbritration. FYI - I am the original owner and this company insured the vehicle from day one.

Your correct,All options you mentioned except for the trailering package were part of the "LT" trim package (Which was only available on extended-cabs) However if you ordered each option by itself heres what they would cost,I made notes were applicable...

 

LT package - Priced in the truck model itself,No price individually

Power seats - *See Leather Seats below*

Leather Seats - $1480.00 - This includes power driver/passenger seats

Heated seats - Only available and standard with the "LT" trim level,No price individually

A/C - Base models only..$825.00 - "LS" & "LT" trim level trucks have A/C as standard equipment

Rear Defogger - $175.00

Keyless entry - Standard on "LS" & "LT" trim levels,No price individually

Cassette - CD player was standard on "LS" trim level trucks,and a cassette player was available as a "no charge" option,A Cassette/CD player was standard on "LT" trim level trucks. However if you wanted a cassette player on a base level extended-cab truck it was a $150.00 option.

Aluminum/Alloy wheels - $110.00

Theft Deterrent/Alarm - Standard on "LS" & "LT" trim levels,No price individually

Fog Lamps - $140.00

Heated Mirrors - $42.00

Trailering Package - $285.00

 

I can't help on CNG conversion kit,I know nothing about them,I've never even seen one.

I also can't help you on the sprayed-in bedliner as I personally don't like them,And to me they actually decrease the value of a truck.

 

If any other questions let me know,I also still have a 2000 model-year truck order guide that I can get some information from,as well as my window sticker from the '99 LS extended-cab Z71 I had,The individual option prices didn't change much,if any,from '99 to 2000,Just the base model prices themselves.

    • You can install tailpipes that direct the exhaust sideways vs the OEM one that goes straight back. There are several on the market, do you own research. HOWEVER, you need to make sure the Venturi vents are still intact, otherwise it will throw a engine code. There is a sensor somewhere that detects back pressure on the exhaust. And if it doesn't collect the correct metrics, it will throw the truck into limp mode. 
    • "Teardown" is complete. Head surfaces are clean and ready, new intake is prepped and ready. Coolant drained and water pump is removed, radiator is removed, new hoses and pump are ready.   The replacement intake is also from a '95 (with I think 260k, the odometer said). Noticeably less pitting where it covers the rear coolant passages. I'm not sure if that's a tribute to more frequent use, more frequent coolant changes/upkeep, or if the intake was machined at some point. But it appears I found a good one.   My coolant hoses were original, and the lower hose still retained the factory spring inside. It's not really rusty, but it's got deposits all over it. Unsure if I should re-install it (will thoroughly clean it first). Someone said hose technology has gotten better since 1995 (has it?) and I don't need the spring. I think modern EPDM is what made those hoses last from 1995-2026, so it's a question of how much suction can the water pump really pull, and will it collapse the hose without a spring?   I'm stopped and waiting for parts, however.   When I first brought the truck home, the fan was intermittently hitting the radiator shroud. I could see someone had monkeyed with the shroud (put a bunch of cardboard as a spacer between the upper/lower shroud halves. Someone said the motor mounts have likely failed and the engine has sagged. I wasn't sure I believed that. The engine is really solid in its mounts: To remove the old intake I *just* nearly permanently welded to the heads with freshly cured RTV and gasket snot two weeks ago, I literally had to use the arms on my lift and a chain with a bolt attached to the intake to pull it loose. It almost picked the front of the truck off the ground before ....scuuuuuuuuuuup.... I could actually hear the gaskets tearing and it broke loose and the whole truck settled back down. Motor barely moved.   SO, those parts I'm waiting on... The lower radiator mounts/bushings had completely failed. The radiator needs to be insulated from the rad support, and the bushings help the rad stand at the correct height. The plastic "baffle" was also destroyed at some point. Someone had attached the shroud to it incorrectly, overlapping a joint that should have been underlapped, creating another suspect issue potentially causing things to hit the fan. Broken tabs, side is busted off, and it's perma-formed/bent where it was jimmied incorrectly.   The baffle? Unobtainum. Long since discontinued from GM, of course. Aftermarket/capa/chinese? Also unobtanium. In GM's infinite wisdom, it appears there are at least two different variations whether the Blazer is 2 or 4 door, and I can't yet tell if they shared the same part with the S-pickups. Plan B, if I can't find a viable used one, will be to create a bracket to re-assemble the critical joint I need to seal a gap with the shroud. But that will bug me, it won't be...perfect.   The water pump bolts appear to have been installed with...plumber's putty. I guess, sure, if it works...? I've found a few "backyard fixes" like that. Someone's been here before....   If I can't find someone to jam bamboo under my fingernails to fill my free time this week I think I'll install the driver's power window motor and replace the rear door speaker that's inop. I've got a genuine GM "9.5" ohm working replacement. Why GM used a non-standard resistance....nevermind. Of course they did, you can get more sound from a cheap factory amp that way.   And the saga goes on...
    • // Thank you, also for your  response. More information is always good. This 2013 GMC is most likely my 'forever truck"-I'm 77 and retired...and truck only has 42K on it-very clean-so I try to keep it that way.  Tks again for your  response- glenn
    • I started my install this weekend. Everything was pretty straight forward but I ran into one issue with running power through the firewall. The nipple grommet on my High Country already has a small harness running through it - has anyone else ran into this issue? And on the engine bay side, does the wire basically just penetrate the factory wiring boot? I did this on my '22 Trail Boss and it seems much easier but thats been a few years. My other thought would be possibly drilling a new hole adding a rubber grommet just to the lower left of the factory hole. Thoughts?   Has anyone used a T-harness off the Bose amp and obtained power from there? It seems a little odd that such a small amp needs 3 power leads
    • ///// Ok--Thanks for that info--I could not find yesterday when I looked for the specs on that NAPA filter what I wanted. Their website is not very user friendly. I buy all teh filters for  our three vehicles once or twice a year. Have always run NAPA Gold on everything I own....I buy it thru my Son's account for his business-which he has a Heavy Equipment repair shop-one reason he uses NAPA so much-they have such a full line of coverage for just about anything/anywhere- He gets s  good discount because of volume bought. Anyway-Thank you -Sir for your response.   glenn
