You could get a truck like mine with 100k miles for $12k. You are being raped.

Yea the price on that truck is high as ****. My buddy just paid 10k for the same truck with 60k miles last week. Keep looking. I don't why I keep watching street outlaws, my neighbor comes over and watches it with me every week, we just spend the whole time making fun of the show. Something to do I guess.

Can't believe I'm still sitting on this damn wet kit...

I guess that's what happens when the whole lower 48 are under ice except for you, race parts don't sell to people when its colder outside then in their freezer .

so did he check the heads before or after the valve job? the ls7 i have already has the SS exhaust valves with bronze guides...i guess it should be fine? the engine has yet to go to my shop for tear down/balancing. but i will have them look the heads over for insurance.

side note: i thought the bronze guides were technically "the fix" for this problem?

Yup and my dads boss owns the land the dealership that has that truck so yhey knocked the price down to 7900. For some reason 4x4 always are priced high around here unless you buy from craigslist and that is iffy

i'd rather deal with craigslist guys (because i know what to look for in the vehicles i'm interested in). plus, IMO, its better to talk directly to the owners to know what the car is about. I'm currently looking for a 99-03 blazer/jimmy/bravada 4x4 or AWD for my next DD. I love my truck, but at the same time, driving a 5,000 pound truck that's a stick gets old quick.

I'd take a Craigslist seller over a dealer 8 times out of 10. Bottom line is the dealer needs to make a profit on the car; private sellers do not.

I even thought about getting a used GSA truck because they usually have high miles but they are newer and for cheap. I just dont wanna spend a couple extra grand repainting the truck or having it shipped to me. Thanks for all the advice im still looking for the right truck.

Gas mileage. Should run good when on it, but make no mistake it's all about meeting the EPA regulations.

Confession: it's 15 days until Christmas, and I've only bought my wife 1 gift!
In-laws-0, Parents-0, GP-0, 4 yr old son-way too much.

I feel behind. I've done all my shopping the past 5 years online. I can't stand going to get things this time of year.
