Default Thinking about buying this truck...

It's a white 2005 Silvy with 31,000 miles on it for 14,7 out the door.

I've been debating on whether I should go for it for the past five-six hours and it's frickin killin me deciding!!!

It's in excellent condition....

Here's a couple pictures of the truck:







Here's the free carfax: Link

Anyone have an opinion or a couple cents on this?!?!?

This would be my next big project...

I have no big reason why not to go for it, but I'm still hella indecisive!

Anyone else every have this problem when buying their new truck!?!?!

Not a bad deal IMO, I have learned over the years not to buy on impulse. Wait a day and if you still can't get it out of your head then buy it.

Make sure the front doors swing shut easily without binding. Make sure they didn't tank the paint when they removed the stickers from the front doors.

The trim decal they left on the cab at the rear door post will tell you the trim level, my guess would be "LT"(It's got the nice rims and carpeting)

I love my 04 Crew Cab. Lots of room, the rear windows go all the way down, and three separate storage areas under and behind the rear seats. Me likey Whitey!

I'm guessing it's got the 5.3L engine?

I have to agree with Mudmaniac, go price a few more trucks in the same range, and give it a couple days.

Yea not buying on impusle is the reason why I'm still sitting here deciding on what I should do. lol

It's a 5.3 2wd LS.

I can't find any more trucks within the same range.

This seems to be the best deal I can find. Closest I could find was an 06 with 38-40,000 miles on it for 19,000. This one's sticker price is 17,4.

You might want to wait a day or two before making a final decision.

In my wait, I've found another truck that I like A LOT!

It's a 2007 White Silvy Crew Cab 2wd with 27k miles on it. Sticker price 24,4.

This one's a LT and it's loaded.






I REALLY like this truck. I've been sitting here biting my nails off waiting for the credit report to come back!

The call can't come any f*cking sooner.

I love this one, I had an 06 1500 LT3 with the same interior, I like the center console.
It makes it feel sporty.

Lol, the wait is killing me, seriously. I keep calling back and it almost feels like the mother f*cker is dodging me cause they say he's with another costumer or it goes strait to his voicemail.

I'm about to just say f*ck it and go down there.

Go man go, it takes them about an hour at most to run that credit check.
