15k jsut feels high to me. But I bought my truck brand new 3 days before the bailout for 20k brand new. But it's a base model. Yours is loaded, so if i was in the market, I could easily do 15k for yours.

Don't mean to hijack the thread, but stepper motor failure....could this be related to the noise my cluster makes? When the radio is off I can hear the cluster working.

that im not sure of. my sister had an 04 tahoe 2wd base and i was driving it one night and the speedo said 70mph but it felt like i was going faster. got it replaced. i would rev my truck in park or neutral and my tach would stutter back down to 700-1000 rpm. so i took it in and they replaced it. gm also sent me a letter about the cluster recall.

get the carfax on the truck first, should stated any warranty issues that have been resolved or not fixed, other than that your getting a pretty good deal.
