This thread should help you some:

Also, check for and ask the owner about the famous intake manifold gasket leak. Make sure there are no coolant leaks. Ask if and when it has been replaced.

That mileage and that price don't add up

Agreed. I bought my hoe with 165k, for $2300. I def would not pay $3800 especially if its in fair condition. Keep looking.

It looks like its in decent condition, When you go to check it out see if he has any big toys in his driveway..Bib boats, trailers etc and that will give you an idea on how much stress the tranny and engine have had.

I would offer him $2900.

i paid $4000 for my 99 tahoe. it was in really good condition, it had 134k miles on it, the engine was replaced at the end of july by a shop with a jasper engine that had about 25k on it. it was the LT model 4dr.

i would hold off for a little bit and you should be able to find a better deal..lower miles anyway.just bought mine a month ago for 4000 canadian with 213km on it.but it had alot of "extras"

160K on mine for $5200, that is back before the economy took a dump. was a good price around here on a 2-door.

does sound high on a 4 door.
