Well, new to me

2005 GMC Crew Cab Colorado SLE ZL7

Was gonna get a car like a GTO or Vette, but figured out that I really can't go without a truck to haul car parts and stuff for the house.

The truck was less than a year old and was fully loaded with every option except OnStar and 4x4. Has a Line-x bed liner, tow package, Folding hard touneu cover, bed extender, dash cover, Lojak.

Only 9400 miles. The guy bought it for his daughter but she ended up wanting something smaller.

He had the sticker for it and it MSRP'd at over $25,000 plus the paint protection and extras listed above.

My price was $17k and I think I got a hell of a deal. Not a scratch on the truck and non-smokers. Has the dark Pewter interior.

If you know of anyone that wants an extended cab Ranger for cheap let me know.. lol

My buddy has the same truck. He likes the power of the 5 cylinder engine, and get's pretty good mileage. I think he told me it get's around 17-18mpg. Not bad for a truck.

Had new shocks at 65k new brakes at 85k and will get new tires next week. Split bench, AC and such. Looking to get $5400.. great daily driver and parts hauler. Tan interior with Kenwood headunit. I looked on Autotrader.com and this price seemed lower then most all of them.

wow...too clean for me

i just picked one up, been looking for one for a while, been wanting a long travel pre runner to take off sweet jumps and haul my quads to the dunes on day trips.... so $500/a stock 454/ and a set of 36" swampers later, i have a 98 4 cyl/5spd/ex-cab shortbed with minor body damage to parts getting replaced with "glass" anyway.
