need advice for buying
I am looking at an '01 LT Silverado, w/ 128,000 miles. This is a sharp truck; clean, great paint, somechrome step bars, bedliner, eurotail lamps.And at a decent price, ($12,200). I was wondering if anybody with some experience with buying or driving these trucks, would have any concerns if they were buying this particulartruck. Anything to look for or concerns with anything failing.
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

RE: need advice for buying
No real trouble spots with these trucks.
Give it a good look over underneath, check for caked mud as signs of off road usage also check for drive-train slop (clunks) as signs of hard use.
Service records are a plus and if possible check to see if it has towed a trailer (look for trailer along side sellers houseand inspect receiver slide for wear.
If it looks like it has had proper care then it most likely has and if it appears to have been used hard or abused it most likely has.
Go with your gut not your wallet or your heart.
