Great truck! It's a GMT 800. Funny most of the "non runners" I've bought from the auction run. I think it's just lazy workers put a jump pack on it turn the key still no power. Then just mark it as a non runner. Whole time it's just a bad connection. Maybe I've just got lucky. Your reaction when it fired up was gold!!

Invest and drive it then sell it. Please fix that roof. Please do it the right way. Someone could appreciate the vehicle. That vehicle seems like a base model with options. The radio is not top end but the leather and climate control are. You could dye the leather after cleaning the seats. You took a gamble and scored on this vehicle.
@Blazer25332 жыл бұрын
Really great deal man! As for the rust just have a shop patch it up and re-spray the roof which should be cheap since it is silver...the seat covers can be bought on Ebay for $210 bucks, they are cheaply made but would make it 10X better for a flip. As for how much it is worth I know with repairs made you could sell it for $7K easy! Value ranges from $6500 -$10,500 with the miles and being in such good shape. I had and sold a 2004 Tahoe with 168,000 miles for $7K, it did take 2 weeks to sell but in your area should be quicker..I did lose a little bit of money on mine but you are in this so cheap that there is no way to lose! great to see another video from you!

Man it’s still bugs me that I paid $4000 for my 02 Escalade that has 166K paint is rough there’s even slight frame damage in the back where it looks like it got rear ended and the towing package got bent down which bent the frame down slightly and dirty interior. But I guess that’s what I get for buying a used car in today’s market where the prices are too high. It’s clean now and looks pretty good but still 4000 after watching your videos years ago were you spent all the 1000 for an Escalade but it is what it is.

Last year my 02 Silverado needed tires, and luckily i found a set of NOS unmounted Cooper Tires for 300 bucks on FB Marketplace which saved me some money. After winter i noticed that the sidewalls were cracking. Not terrible, but it was a sucky sight. I did not realize when i bought them that tires have a shelf life which explains why they are cracking. The tread is ok its just the sidewalls that are cracked. I will drive as much as i can with those tires to get my moneys worth if they are not cracking in the tread. The tires seemed like they were very well made meaning thick, and stiff. Other than the cracking i am pleased with them. Alot better than the brand new Ironmans i bought for my 2000 Silverado which are cracking in the tread.
