Quoted:
I'm getting ready to buy a 1999 GMC Suburban, SLT package, has every single option except sun roof, towing package, leather seats, 5.7 engine, 4x4, 170k miles. Its a one owner, owned by an older man, very nice condition. He was asking over $4000 for it, I made an offer of $3000 and he accepted it, good deal or bad? Got the same truck. 4X2. 1997. 2500. If it is indeed very nice condition, you did pretty good. |

The company I work for just traded my company car, a 1996 suburban LT package for a 2008 Tahoe LT. The 1996 was a 1500 with 4X4 and cloth seats. It had 268,000 miles and still ran like a top. They sold it to an indivdual buyer for $2000. Anyway, that was a good truck. I hope the new Tahoe is just as good. SM |

I've looked at a ton of them in the area, and this on by far is the nicest. Very well maintained. I sold my 1986 Chevy CUCV military blazer for $3000, so I basically traded it for the suburban

good truck, as long as it doesn't have a 4L60, you are approaching its life. 4L80, no worries

Is it a 1500 or 2500?
If it's a 1500, I'd pick through it with a fine tooth comb. If it's a 2500, I'd still pick, but wouldn't be worried as much. Sounds like a good price. |

I went through the whole truck.. He has maintenance records since he bought it new. Transmission was serviced every 50k miles. |

My 99 K1500 Suburban has 145k, and aside from the transmission going ($$$) and the fuel sending unit going ($250 part and a pain in the rear to drop the fuel tank), it has been a great truck. Mileage sucks (14-15 mpg city, slightly higher hwy but I'm usually pulling a trailer on trips), but it's safe, insurance is cheap, and it hauls my family and toys everywhere.
