Wow, you hit the nail on the head on all the key points.. I looked in the engine bay of the white one, the 2500 Burb and it was immaculate, the cleanest engine bay I've seen in a long time. Looks like it was garaged most of the time. Certainly no trail use. The dealership has it for $11,700 and...

You speak common sense here.. One of the red flags with the black 2009 Burb is that the owner said he only drove it 40 miles after the rebuild, which is very strange. If he did it for himself, he would have put a lot more miles on it since the sprint. He also said he got it for a song, with the...

I am the potential buyer, trying to pick one of the two. Or wait for something else.

inside 2009:

More pics. The black one, 2009 1500 Burb looks nice from a distance but up close looks like this all over, scratches all over the paint. However no noticeable rust that I could find except one tiny bubble on the hood. The white one has better looking paint, a bit more rust underneath...

Not really. But I prefer SUV over a truck. Due to the insides being protected by AC when hot, and heated when cold, instead of being in the truck bed. A camper shell doesn't really do it for me.

You make a perfectly legitimate point. I don't even know what to say, other than it is right on the money.

You know you are right. I am trying to keep it in the 10-12K price point. Once you go into $20-25K it opens up all kinds of possibilities. That's really the problem. Trying to get something worthwhile in that price point is difficult due to the market being utterly insane. They say it's showing...

That is a very persuasive argument actually and concisely so.

Has that been in a positive sloped trend?

I hope you are right. I get the supply chain situation. On top of inflationary issues. I just dont understand why it will improve. We are still deep in the crisis mode. Has something happened to improve things?

I am thinking that the white 6.0L Burb is a lot harder to sell since nobody wants a 11MPG or 13MPG vehicle, it's not a great daily driver. I wonder if that gives me more negotiating leverage. Probably not. The first one (black 2009) is from a private party, the second is from a dealership.

They passed that 1Trillion infrastructure deal. What does that have to do with this autos? Well almost nothing aside from the fact that print and spend will cause the 'dollar' to decline, all prices to rise even further. The prognosis is not that great. I am not seeing any deals or any...

That's the problem, I cannot wait too long. My current DD Tahoe has a long list of repairs that need to be done. It's roadworthy, but.

You make a good point

Why? Not questioning this just trying to understand the reasoning.

Last year, these were $5-8k vehicles. I was looking at them, considering one. They weren't priced in that range in the last 5 years, I don't think. Not in DC area. Again I think it's inflation and it's a permanent rise in prices. Who do you think is going to pay for all these bailouts last and...

See I find that pretty doubtful. From the financial view point, I think things will only get worse. The Federal Reserve system is printing money out of thin air causing prices to rise on everything - food, rent, real estate, and autos. I think things will only get worse in 6 months, much...

I have a Tahoe with 5.3L, it was drinking oil to the tune of 1 quart per 1000 miles. That bad, and I just tuned it out with a Diablo Tuner. Pretty simple. Added HP to it as well, running on 93 Octane. Really change the motor. But he said he removed the AFM so it's no longer an issue.

He said he did it by himself, hence there is no labor receipt. I can ask for parts receipts.
