delaer asking price was 21,000. Vehicle is mint with only 6,000 miles. My father-in-law is looking for an L and he is interested. Does this seem like a fair price? Also, I know to make sure the intercooler was replaced but I'm not sure what else to look for. Any suggestions?

 

That seems like a very good price,, since if i was to sell my silver 00 with just under 12,000 miles i'd want more than that,,,

 

It is a really good price coming from a dealership but
don't forget the manufacturer warranty is probably up
or close to it. Find out how much for extended warranty
will cost. I would not buy it without one..

 

I'll sell you a 99 for that price with mods and a new head and a new intercooler on it. The head and intercooler still have a one year warranty on them.

i'll sell ya my 99 with 11k new motor and still 25k left on warrenty for that

 

thats a good deal, check the underside for rust, the front end for scrapes, the clunk, cracked fog lights, intercooler, and physical shape in general etc...

 

That sounds like a good buy, but try and get them down to 20 grand. I'm sure they'll bend a little bit, good luck and I hope you get it, John H.

 

sounds nice.. i just bought my 2000 lightning, with much more miles (57k) for 19k from a dealer.. it was mint and the only one in my price range within a looong way from where i live. so I went for it and I'm glad I did

 

Sounds like a great price. Also, if the warranty is not up yet, you can purchase more years/miles after the existing one transfers.

Also, run a carfax, etc. and make sure the truck is clean. Run a fine comb over it and find out if it's 100% stock, modded, what mods, etc.

 

I got my 2000 for 23K with 17K miles and in absolute Mint condition. I would say that's one hell of a deal if it's in near perfect condition. Dealer was asking 23.5K and all I could talk them down to was 23K. I would take that in a heart beat. Make sure you take her for a ride and maybe to a local mechanic that you feel comfortable with. That ride is still an infant.

Yesterday saw a used 2001 L at a local KIA dealership here
in Athens...26k...It was silver and the front bottom fascia
was pretty banged up...dont know the mileage...think this Bolt may have had rough treatment.

 

i just bought a 99 for 23,500 with only 1300 miles on it. i dont know if i overpaid or not. i aready have over 3k on it right now!

 

Hmmmm.... Either the salesperson mis-spoke or was lying. The dealer now wants $25,000 for the truck...not $21,000 as I originally believed. Oh well....

I guess this is good news for current 2000 L owners as far as truck value goes, eh?

 

yea 25 is probobly more on cue

 

if 99 are worth 25,000 bucks then a 03 with all the updates more threads in the heads and factory warrenty 29,999 like i have seen them advertised around seattle area is a good deal. i wish i would have waited and saved up a few more grand to put down on a new one. just my opinion.
