hi guys, I'm looking to get my first truck and have found a truck I like. it is a 2004 Sierra SLT Z71. I'm wooried about the km's on the body and the "new" engine and transfer case. here is a copy of the ad, can you please tell me if from your knowledge this would be a good deal. I'm not educated on how tough and how long these trucks and motors last. I appreciate all the help! He was asking $15,000 Canadian, I got him to $13,500 rather easily, so I'm not sure what that means.

I am selling my 2004 Gmc Sierra SLT Crew Cab, New Engine only has 35000k on it as well as new transfer case, dual exhaust, brakes, battery, all fluids changed, and bills to prove all. Body has 260000k and is in good shape
Just put 7K into and warrenty on everything new.

*2 inch lift, Added Leaf Spring and Tension Keys
*New Tuff Country Shocks
*Mickey Thompson MTZs with Black aftermarket rims
*Brand New Back Rack
*Leather Seats
*7 inch DVD player in dash
*2 1000 watt Amps
*2 10 inch under rear seat Bassworks subs and box
*Stainless Steel Dual exhaust
*Ice Cold A/C
*Bull Bar
*Trailer Brake Controller
*Tow Package
*Remote Start

 

nobody?

 

I would stay away. It has a lot of kms/miles on it and I don't care if it has a new engine or not, other parts are bound to fail. It seems odd to me that it would need a new engine or not and there is also the chance of a botched job on the install of any of these aftermarket parts. You can easily pick up a early 2000's Pickup with less kms on it for under 10k and then put the work into it afterwards. That way you only pay for what you need and you know it is done right. Maybe it's my picky nature and foresight but I don't think its a good buy, unless of course you are in Canada and I don't know what the currency conversion is

 

hey thanks for the reply. i am in canada, in toronto actually. with that said, i assume your opinion is the same? i appreciate all info and oppinions!

 

My opinion is still the same but not quite as strong considering the currency conversion. I'm surprised no one else has chimed in, I don't think I'm alone in my standing
