Looking at getting a duramax

[Moseph]

I might be going to look at this 02 Duramax tomorrow. I don't know a whole lot about it, but its got about 138,xxx miles on it, about a 6 inch tough country lift, full leather interior with Centurion package, and aftermarket wheels and tires. The guy wants $17400 for it, what do you guys think is a good price?

Price varies depending on region.

The major thing that sticks out to me is it's lifted, has oversize wheels/tires, and a plow mount...check that front suspension carefully. Check the hub assemblies and ball joints thoroughly, also check the idler and pitman arms and the tie-rod ends.

Check for pump rub (case rub through...look for fluid on the case) on the t-case. Being an LB7 check to see if the injectors were ever replaced. There is a vin check section on here to check warranty claims through GM.

Whats with the wrecked car sitting next to it? The entire right front upper control arm and strut assembly is hanging off of it.

I paid 18k for my 02 three years ago, but back then diesel was like 4.50 a gallon.

Thanks for the info. Apparently some lady was drunk and she wrecked her car and somehow that happened.
