Default Soon to be truck owner from Dallas, TX w/ some questions.

Im from Dallas, TX. Going to be purchasing a Silverado very shortly. I have a few questions regarding a certain truck that i am looking at.

Truck in question is a 2001 ex-cab 2wd LS w/ the 5.3 It has 52k miles on it (bone stock except for some aftermarket muffler). I have seen it in person and it is damn near the cleanest truck i have laid eyes on. The guy is asking 11,500 for it.

Does this seem like a reasonable price? Its been on the market for a few weeks and has not sold. It is showroom worthy. I know its an old truck but for the condition its in and the mileage it has, my mind is telling me to get it.

I am getting out of the Euro tuner scene and have some small plans in mind for the truck.

Thanks.

No, it's an 11 year old truck and it doesn't matter how low the miles are. For 11.5k you can an 05-07.

I appreciate the honesty. I have been looking for a few weeks now. My price range is 11-12k. Most of the trucks in this range have 100k miles. The newer trucks in this range vary from V6's to the 4.8. Truck must have the 5.3, ex-cab or crew.

here is the 01'.

The price on the truck does seem a bit high. Realistically, normal price on that should be $5-6K, with that low mileage and that clean bring it up to maybe $8500 tops. Ultimately, you will have to decide if it is worth the premium to you. Go wave $9K under his nose and see if he bites.
