What should ask for my truck?

The Z71 will be ready to be sold here shortly and Im not sure what to ask for it. Its a regular LS, ecsb, Z71, it will be totally stock with a 90K mile 5.3, brand new 60e, freshened tcase(had to pull it apart to put the stock input gear back in), rear end was rebuilt 40K ago with an eaton which Ill leave in there. The body is a 7/10, no rust, just a few scratches here and there, interior is 10/10, no stains, the seats look brand new, just replaced the window motors, and has husky liners front and rear. Its pewter in color and will have a drop in bed liner. The truck itself has 180K on it but most of the drivetrain is alot newer. Im thinking of asking 9K for it. My next question is do I tell the people Im selling the truck to that I changed all that stuff out? I dont think I should divulge that since number 1 it may scare them off and number 2 they are getting a drivetrain with alot less miles then the truck has on it so its not like Im throwing 300K mile parts in it and saying the truck only has 180K on it. The only thing in the truck that hasnt been rebuilt is the front diff but I serviced it and the fluid was good so Im sure its fine. So what would be a fare price for it? I want it gone quick so I can start parking my new truck in the garage and stop paying insurance on a truck I dont drive.

In excellent condition it books for 9300, in fair its 8500, I would be happy with 8K out of it but if I ask that people will try and talk to me down might as well start high and go low. 8K would be my bottom dollar I think. So if you know of someone who wants a nice truck with a good drivetrain keep your ears open. If someone finds someone to buy this thing Ill give them 200 bucks for a finders fee.:)

What year is it? I would think 9,000 is a good asking price.

the truck looks really clean, i would say 9 is a very fair price Cody, if you look on ebay for trucks like that people are trying to sell them for like 18,000 and they arn't in good condition. i will keep my eye out for ya, i know high school kids love tucks like that.

I would be ecstatic to get that much for mine. On ebay it looks like truck scomparable to mine are going for around 8-9K.

since im a high school kid, i know when chevylee said that high school kids love trucks like that hes not lying. many of the kids at my school are buying 2000-2003 chevy 1500's and gmc 1500's right now and many are looking to get trucks like that. all the kids look at cars.com (admins: dunno if i can say that on here if not just tell me and ill remove the site name) and ebay

I have someone interested in it already who knows the history of the truck, when the truck is ready to sell if he doesnt want it then it will go up on autotrader, cars and ebay. Maybe I should troll the HS parking lots around here with a for sale sign.:laugh:

Like I said 200 to whoever finds someone to buy it from me, so beat the bushes.

(that is me beating the bushes...)

Ok, that was dumb...sorry. :)

ANYWAY--I think $9k is a fair asking price. Start out high with the knowledge you will be talked down. I would tell the potential serious buyer about the newer drivetrain components, but do not divluge ALL the info. Just say they needed to be replaced from the mileage. It is believable for a vehicle that has 180,000 on the chassis...

I would start out at asking 10K. When I traded my 99 Z71 in on the SS a little over a year ago, it had 145xxx miles on it with a 3 inch body lift 33" tires and a 4.8L motor. They gave me 7,600 trade in on it. Then I looked at there website and they ad it priced at liek 11,500. Its a nice looking truck and everyone like Z71s.

Once I get it up and running good and make sure there are no problems with it then get it cleaned up Ill throw it on a couple autotrader sites if the guy that is interested in it doesnt want it.

I would ask about $9500 and try and get $9000. I just traded in my 2000 Silverado LS 2WD w/ 75k on it and I got $7000. I would figure if you sold yours to a private party (and it being 4WD) you would get at least 9K for it.
