Thread: Would ?

A 2008 chevy with 108000 miles be worth buying? It's the cleanest one I've found in my 20000 dollar budget. If taken care of how long does the newer model Chevys usually last ?

I have heard of some running 300, 000 miles no problem if service right but who knows how the truck your looking at was cared for? It might be clean as a pin but know way of knowing how it was driven or how often it was serviced. It may be a great truck but who knows ? I know we all do what we have to do but I never have liked buying used vehicals unless I coud get a warrantyon them.

I bought my 2000 z71 with 114,000 on it for $14,500, it now has 250,000 on it

bout my 2000 f250 gasser for $1500 with 271K on it--has 285K on it now

I got a 95 4.3 S-10 with 200,000 and it runs great!Pulled my 1650 Express in and out of lakes for a year till I bought this ole Jeep for $3900.It has 175,000 on it!Bought the boat and Jeep both off Craig's.

My service truck at work is a 2002 with 5.3 just turned over 220,000 miles. Has crane and tools on it every one of those miles.

I would not be scared of the miles if the truck has had regular service.

i can get 300000 out of them and they still run good

If it was me, I would try to contact the previous owner. Realize that is not possible some times. Or if you have a mechanic you trust take it to them and have it gone over. 100.00 or so may satisfy you or save you a bunch of grief. Either way be money well spent. Like G and Downsouth said if it was maintained right it should last a long time.

20k? Dern, u folks is rich. That'd be enough for me to buy 4 new trailer houses and have money left over for running water to a couple of em. Shewwweeee.

I ain't scared of 100k. Just bought Gonnabe an 01 with 140k and its a strong truck. Perfect for him to run over his first deer with and give me the it wasn't my fault shrug that they teach all teenagers these days at the schoolhouse.
