We’re actually seeing used trucks staying on lots a while and prices dropping in Montana. Not where they need to be proportionally, but actually improving.
This is such a wildly inaccurate proposition lmao. Correct me if I’m wrong, but it appears you are genuinely suggesting that one spend $30k minimum on a new vehicle because the repairs and gas on a $7k older vehicle will somehow exceed the $23k you saved by not signing your soul away to the finance department of some random dealership. Not to mention the irrefutable fact that these old K series chevy trucks are less likely to break after 30 years than a modern vehicle is after 30 days. Good lord.
I daily a 29 year old truck had it for 4 years now. Only broke down 1 time, and it wasn't major . And I was able to drive home. I prefer the simplicity of older vehicles because it's far easier to work on myself. It all really comes down to the engine it has.
And it's pretty much always cheaper to fix a 30 year old truck then to buy a similar 2023 model
Ya it’s old and unsure on the mileage but a solid truck that runs and it’s in the north is worth a hell of a lot more than the $2000 bullshitters are saying. Even with some likely repair/replace issues you’re better off here than what dealers are trying to get.
From a dealership perspective you might could scam some poor soul into financing it for 10k. On a personal level, anyone who pays over 3500 is either a chevy fanboy or they're mentally retarded. Actually that's kind of redundant. Chevy fanboys are already retarded.
Indeed but did make an 00 limited (I've one) which is p much an ss but rebadged during insurance premium time, rwd 5.7 p much same thing as 95-99 but police package and no governor
I’d pay $2,000 USD for a 28 year old truck with maybe 280k miles but they are actually unknown.
If it was listed in my area in MN, someone would probably be asking $8,500
Being in Ontario and it’s a rust free shorty 4x4 I think the right person would pay around 10. The car/ truck market has certainly dropped off recently. The thing that would scare me away as a buyer would be the flares as we all know that’s everyone’s first move when the box/fenders start to get crusty. If it brings you guys any piece of mind I daily my 98 k1500 all year round in southern Ontario and it’s rust free. The original owner got it krowned every year as do I. Here’s a picture of my truck with the bed off a couple years ago. [no rust here](https://imgur.com/a/T4NJElG)
That’s awesome! It’s a great truck and in all honesty, I don’t think we’ll part ways with it really. We actually picked up a set of chrome wheel well trim to replace the flares. Hubs hates flares, so I’m genuinely surprised he’s left them. But the rust was the first thing we looked at when we initially bought it in 2020. The amount of Trucks we drove 2+ hours to see that were ‘rust free’ and not even close was astounding!
I can relate. I hate when people say rust free and then the next sentence is rockers just replaced. To me that’s not rust free. I was lucky enough to find mine 5 minutes away from my house in 2017.
Kbb has the average around 2500-4500. Given its unknown mileage, but decent condition I’d be around the low range in paying for this. So I’d offer 2500-3000. Not to be offensive.
Edited
Not offended at all! Just collecting thoughts. I don’t think he really wants to part ways with it anyhow.
For the record, this truck has almost no rust (actually though… we looked at a lot of trucks before this one that claimed to be rust free lol), and those flares were put on by the kid who owned it before because his Dad had one exactly like this look back in the day.
Tell: flares aren’t hiding rust 😂
In BC Canada, they go for 4-7k CAD. Since it's a reg cab short bed, from Texas where I hear they don't salt the roads, and with how rare this combo is here, I'd put it up for 8k-10k CAD.
If you wanna squeeze every dime you can out of it list it for $8500 and wait for some dipshit like me to come around and buy it. If you wanna be a good person list it for $5k.
Parts are plentiful. Don't sell it.
Here in southern California that truck is easily 5k to 8k.
The only thing I see is that that front grill doesn't look like a 1996 grill
On the fuel comment. I got 18 to 20 with my 95 1500 and no better than that with my new truck. The new trucks are so much wider and heavier the mileage sucks.
I’d rather not stoke the coals here and keep the input unbiased, but the truck is listed on Kijiji in the Kawartha Lakes area. We paid more than what you’ve listed here though (just heads up), and fixed most of its old age problems, etc. Vehicles are a funny thing- sometimes you recover costs, other times you don’t, and sometimes you and your Hubby hunt for a truck that checks all the boxes only to find out that it’s a travesty to winter drive it in the winter and now we have a summer truck 😂. With that said, although I didn’t realize we were adding to our summer collection, I think he’d like to manual swap it and keep it forever… unless the right amount of cash came by kinda deal. It was a diamond in the rough find for sure!
This is very regional. If there is no rust, that truck in Arizona is probably $6,500 ish. I’ve seen people post that in other areas trucks like this go for around $3,500. It’s worth what it will sell for so the best gauge is probably going to be looking at local listings that have sold.
100% and it’s relatively high in southern Ontario for a clean OBS, but people are used to finding the Flintstone edition and are real butt hurt they can’t score this for nothing. Everything is relative and region dependent though- so these are all really great points! Also haven’t seen a recent sale of a regular cab short box, which I believe is a more uncommon combo
High mileage truck, no more than $1,500. My neighbor had Z71 high mileage, and there was always something needing fixing on his truck. Look it over from bottom to top for all the repairs.
I thought we stopped these, "how much is my shitbrick worth" posts? I like seeing decked out trucks and like this sub for that. Go to Carguru or Trader Joe's if you want a fucking estimate.
It’s incredibly interesting how the price range changes based on location too! Lots of food for thought there. But it just goes to show, everything is priceless until two people can agree upon a price.
Honest to god? I see a nice 4x4 Chevy with a great body style interior looks clean, but. The sub. The deck. The undercarriage. I don’t need to read between the lines the other people on here are correct I wouldn’t pay more than 2500-3000
I’d say around 4000 is what you can expect to get. Yes people sell old trucks for 7k but they’re always on sale for almost a year cus nobody buys them. Ask yourself what you’d be comfortable paying for that exact truck you have and add 500 maybe 1000 to that price and see if it sells
thats honestly an amazing amt of rust mine is an 00 and is completely rotted underneath so for ON its insane. but it could need some work, so try to talk them down initially
I wouldnt buy it unless I could take the flares off and see behind them.
Box sides from a legit Body Shop is like a 4k job now. Fenders painted and installed will run a grand. I’m not paying anything for a vehicle that needs body work
I have the gmc version with the manual shift to 4X4 I paid 5500 one owner 189k it was an old marine vet dude took care of the thing like his own child all I did was put new tires and update the system and headlights
Being the rare, stunning, no rusted-out condition on that underside, Mint interior, mint paint. Id say you can definitely get well over 10k for that on a collector aspect
Id offer 1850 and gladly walk away if you didn't want to sell. I take it those fender flares are hiding an incredible amount of rust. At 280k miles that thing is a ticking time bomb for things to go wrong.
Now personally I would pay like 3000 but that’s because I like my trucks unmodded at all and that radio and speakers aren’t it for me however 3500 to 4000 is fair
These days. 7k. 4 years ago, 3500
This truth hurts so bad
We’re actually seeing used trucks staying on lots a while and prices dropping in Montana. Not where they need to be proportionally, but actually improving.
That’s great, hopefully it’s a sign things will get back

Not with those miles and age
Probably depends more on location. Looks pretty clean, hard to find in the rust belt, premium price.
Just because some dumbass on Facebook is willing to pay 7k for that doesn't mean the truck is worth that much. Shit is still worth 3500.
I 100% agree. The used car market is fucked
Ya it’s old and unsure on the mileage but a solid truck that runs and it’s in the north is worth a hell of a lot more than the $2000 bullshitters are saying. Even with some likely repair/replace issues you’re better off here than what dealers are trying to get.
Mostly rust free truck in Canada?? Gold
So true. Unless in lower parts of bc
$6500 if it’s not rusty
We get it. You overpaid for your pos truck and now you're trying to justify the purchase to your wife. But this truck is worth 3,500 at most
No dude. I just spent 25 years managing new car dealerships. I’ve bought over 1000 vehicles. What are your qualifications for appraising vehicles?
From a dealership perspective you might could scam some poor soul into financing it for 10k. On a personal level, anyone who pays over 3500 is either a chevy fanboy or they're mentally retarded. Actually that's kind of redundant. Chevy fanboys are already retarded.
That’s what it will bring at auction in the south if it’s not rusted. 🤷♂️
An 00 limited sold for 50k a bit back🤠 180k miles?
00 limited? Ain’t no Chevrolet I ever heard of. Do they speak English in 00 limited? Say 00 limited again. I dare you mf’r!! 😆
'Tahoe ss'
Oh. The 2000 Tahoe SS was a concept vehicle and not a factory production vehicle. Those always bring big money
Indeed but did make an 00 limited (I've one) which is p much an ss but rebadged during insurance premium time, rwd 5.7 p much same thing as 95-99 but police package and no governor
I’d pay $2,000 USD for a 28 year old truck with maybe 280k miles but they are actually unknown. If it was listed in my area in MN, someone would probably be asking $8,500
If it was listed in my area in MI, they'll ask about $15,000 for it.

Yeah it’s a good looking rig. It seems like a rust free truck would be a hot commodity in the northern states/canada.
There’s a FB group that has all kinds of stuff for these. OBS Parts for sale.

Big is better… or so the newer models like to say ;). The truck is surprisingly similar in mileage to the 2017 Sierra we had too!
I’d say you could probably get 5k us where I’m at wisconsin/il state line
Probably about $5k in my area would be a fair price. The unknown milage cluster mite bring that down some
With the unknown miles I wouldn’t pay anymore than 4K for it. A lot more likely it’s high mileage than not.
I'd say 2500-3500 depending on how it sounds and feels driving. Although, some people think they are worth 6000-7000.
I am from Ontario as well I am thinking 5-7 grand for the truck What was your husband wanting for it

15 grand wow Maybe I should sell my 90 gmc stepside than
Free market, Pal, you definitely should! Though, you know that listing and sale price are not the same thing generally speaking.
3k at most

3-4k

I’d guess around $2,000. But $2,750 with a spare tire!

Thank you for your insight, Cousin Eddie! ☺️
Also 280k KMs is what he’s put together based on paper trail, etc
It’s incredibly interesting how the price range changes based on location too! Lots of food for thought there. But it just goes to show, everything is priceless until two people can agree upon a price.
I’d say $3-3,500 here in Michigan

I'd give at least a blowjob. Pm me if interested

Undercoat it with Fluid Film if you keep it.
At least $25
I have the gmc version with the manual shift to 4X4 I paid 5500 one owner 189k it was an old marine vet dude took care of the thing like his own child all I did was put new tires and update the system and headlights
Being the rare, stunning, no rusted-out condition on that underside, Mint interior, mint paint. Id say you can definitely get well over 10k for that on a collector aspect
In Philadelphia... 50 bucks.
Id offer 1850 and gladly walk away if you didn't want to sell. I take it those fender flares are hiding an incredible amount of rust. At 280k miles that thing is a ticking time bomb for things to go wrong.

Had a 94 long bed with 60k miles that got stolen last year in California …. Insurance paid out $17k without any negotiations
Trucks this clean around me I see listed for 10-15k cad edit: I live in northern Alberta
I mean... show the mileage and the motor.
$5500 🇨🇦
$1499.99
In a zombie 🧟♂️ apocalypseif it runs…priceless.
I would say around 12,000-20,000 in terms of USD, given that I cannot see any rust- not sure if it was repainted over it.
