he's never told us the mileage, bluex bought a 98 with 227k

Good call, still wouldn't pay it.

Bobby you sayin you wouldn't pay 5g's for a gm400 period?

 

[dirtyhick42]

Never have payed more than 4500 for one and the only reason I payed that much was because I paid an extra 500 just so I could make payments. If it aint 4 or less I aint buying.

4 or less would be mostly junk around here. once you get north of 6 they start to get nice. thats my experience for the two times ive been looking and bought an obs.

bought my 96 115k for 5500, sold it for 6300 with 120k.

bought my 94 150k for 6000.

its really a crapshoot some think its just another old truck, most think they have some gem thats very desirable. And location has a lot to do with prices.

Bought my 98 for 4500 out the door with 176k stock.
Bought my 2000 for 4000 out the door with 123k, 6" suspension 3" body and 35s and a lot of other **** I took off.

hell of a deal on the 98, was the 00 a salvage title iirc

 

[dirtyhick42]

Yes it was but if you wreck an obs in any way at all it is gonna total it out. The 98 was a good deal but I destroyed that truck and sold it for 4500 so I came out way ahead on that.

 

[dcZ71]

haha i remember that, motor probably blew up on the poor girl

 

[Southern Pride]

Yeah it just depends on location. The average 4-4.5 g truck in the south goes for 6g out west not familiar with prices up N though.

She deserved it. Shows up an hour late when I meet her an hour and a half away, she is drinking with her 3 friends while driving 4 hours, 2 of her buddies were "certified mechanics" that asked if I had cut the springs to lift it and if the oil coming from the rear main was from me just changing the oil and not wiping off the pan. So ya I say they deserved to get the POS.
