Front end wise, I prefer the look of the 2002/2002; BUT there are a LOT more parts/aftermarket/options for the 2003-2007.

I sold my duramax with 170K on it and my thought was that I drove it 8 years without putting any big money in it so if I trade it now then I am out of it before I get stuck with the 2-3K repairs.

This guy has receipts for big stuff just like I had for the guy that bought my excursion. That helps ease the mind.

Also I refuse to have a payment on any car ever so new cars are no go. Have not had a car payment in 10+ years and not starting to have one now.

97 Chevy 1500 Z71 with 89k on the dash. Was a friends truck who has more money then sense and had it just to drive around their properties. I prob wont keep it but it was too cheap to say no to. :)

Those are actually AWESOME trucks, completely bulletproof aside from maybe a headgasket replacement. Hang on to that one.

$2800 :)

No rust, all power everything works, insanely clean paint, and newer tires. Not a bad deal.
