The front bumper has some scraping from parking lot stuff but the rest does look clean and that is pretty low mileage (half mine). But at 7 grand I don't know if I would have gone for this. Also the pic of his kids on the elevator (and general ad layout) is kind of questionable.

I think for something like this, spending more for a lower mileage example probably isn't worth it.

[kevm14]

I just feel like I'd have the same issues at any mileage (within reason) so why pay extra? Put another way, if you are DIY capable and willing, a 60k mile car (any car) is most likely not the best value. But if you are looking for a warranty or have a shop do work, that equation changes around.

Getting (shockingly) back on topic for just a minute:

This is a 2500 so it should have an LQ4 and 4L80E.

You could start with this:

I would want to start with a much nicer car, which will cost more money. The ideal candidate would probably be high mileage but rust free, good paint and good interior. But also something like that 94 Fleetwood would was extremely clean and pretty low miles (105k) which I could just have stock for as long as I wanted before I did any work on it. I'd like that, too.

Now this is a mechanic special.
