laramie, big horn, SLT? Doesn't sound like too bad of a deal

 

[sllorca]

Lone star SLT from what I can tell...

 

[Big Silver]

Doesn't sound to bad. Any aftermarket goodies?

 

[sllorca]

Dunno, Im gonna be looking at it today after work. Probably not. If its just stock, what price you all think I should work him down to? BTW its got a 6 speed manual tranny

 

[ronniefa]

What year is it?

 

[sllorca]

Oh sorry, its an 07 with the 6.7 motor

 

[ronniefa]

The reason that i'm asking is that it wouldnt be a bad idea to check out the truck very well. I own a 07.5' and although i love the truck i have had alot of issues with it. This doesnt mean that you will but i would ask to see all service records on the truck.:thumbsup:

 

[sllorca]

yea thats a good idea, I stepped on it today during the test drive, and the CEL came on.... I accidentally got it to like 3500rpm so that may be why but I dunno. CEL on a test drive doesnt make me to confortable...

 

[Texas Twister]

That is a red flag in my mind...

 

[sllorca]

yea Im gonna find out what the code was today as well as go over numbers again. I think they are messing with numbers with me and feeding me BS. Hes a good salesman lol.

 

[sllorca]

turns out the code was from someone who tried to start the truck with the wrong key at the detail shop... could that be true?

 

[Big Silver]

Well I would think that if someone had tried to start the truck with the wrong key that the CEL would have come on right away when you started the truck, not during the test drive.

That does sound odd.

What kind of warranty is left on the truck or are they offering?

 

[docdozer]

Salesman BS. CEL would not have come on DURING the drive if someone at some other time used the wrong key. Consider waiting until a different truck comes along, they usually do. I know it's hard when the candy is in front of you though. That's how I ended up with my 09 Big Horn :drool2:

Good points.

You are in Texas there will be another truck.

Hell if you go on cars.com you can probley find a number of them just in a short search range.

 

[Harvie]

that truck black books in the high 16s, pass on it for that price.

 

[sllorca]

yea Im passing on it, although the carfax report looks great, biggest repair being the speakers changed out. Warranty on Engine only till 100,000/5 years and exhaust 8years /80,000. After running the numbers I got too much on my plate already, so im gonna wait anyway. Stupid custody battles, lawyers are expensive!

 

[ronniefa]

Sounds possible. is the truck still under warrenty? Did you ask to see the maint sheets? Thats what i would be worried most about.:shock:

 

[sllorca]

they didnt have maintenance sheets, just the carfax report. The warranty is for the engine only and its till 5 years/100,000 miles. He thinks exhaust is 8 years/80,000 miles but I dont care about exhaust as i would do deletes anyway. I have to say I fell in love with that 6.7 after driving it. That exhaust brake is sweeeeeeeeet!
