1997 Chevy 1500 Z71

[Tvhguy]

I just viewed and test drove a coworkers car. Its a 1997 Chevy 1500 with the 5.0L V8. Has 154,000 miles, no check engine light. Transmission replaced 4 years ago. Only thing it needs replaced is the door handle and the blower motor. I did notice a "ticking" noise while accelerating, which I believe is the exhaust manifold gasket or a lifter. She's asking $3,000...oh and four wheel drive works fine and new suspension all around.

..new to this forum, not sure if this is the right thread for this..

Nice truck. Is there a question for us?

Sounds like a damn good deal to me!

Might be an exhaust donut gasket. I would scoop it up for that. Truck looks fairly clean.

Thank you for the responses..

One thing i wanted to note, is at idle, the oil pressure sits at 20 psi, and while driving at 40 psi...reading online this is normal for some people.

Should i pay the 3000 since its already a good deal, or offer like 2800 or 2900

...about the engine, in this (Engine) section of the forum?

If you think you have a good chance of getting it cheaper, yeah, offer 2750, 2800, you may even get it for 2500 or 2600 if you offer that amount and they want it gone badly enough. Doesn't hurt to ask; all they can do is say no. If it's not advertised at 3000 firm, you have some bargaining space.
305/350 with more than 150K on it, that's okay oil pressure. My Burb has 216K on its 350 and that's what it does. If the oil looks good on changing it, and it doesn't make noise, you're okay.

It looks great. At 150k miles, it's just getting broken in. I'd be all over it for $3k.

Thanks for the responses. I'm gonna offer a little less just too see, but ill pay the 3000 if they're firm.

Nice—that is a steal…, literally criminal!! Check out Hagertys website. You should be paying way more then that.
