I am in the market for an OBS truck or suburban at the moment. I realize that prices have gone up considerably in the past couple years, so I wanted to get opinions on if this deal is good or not. I found an ad on craigslist, the guy has since taken it down, but he has been emailing me back and forth about taking a look so I assume its still for sale.
Stats:
1997 Sierra K1500
-Sale is by the second owner, has only had it two years. Claims that he wants a newer F150 instead
-210000 miles on the body, claims it is rust free. Apparently the original owner would power wash the underside once a month, and the second owner has kept it inside. I asked about door panel and rocker panel rust, his words were, "this truck is the most rust free truck I have ever seen for the year bar none!." Truck currently resides in VA.
-The original owner had a crate 350 put in about 20k miles ago.
-Transmission is a rebuilt 4L60E done at the same time as the engine was swapped.
-He also says that he has receipts from the original owner for all the major work done.
He is asking $7000. Is this a reasonable price, considering all the work that has been put in?
Also, if/when I go to look at it, are there any things to inspect more closely?
