I was just wondering what everyone's opinion might be on this vehicle? I am currently in the process of buying the following vehicle, here in Alaska and I put down some money on a 2001 Chevy 2500 HD Crewcab LS with 6.6 Duramax and only 34,500 miles. The person needs to pay off his loan for a divorce and he gave it to Affordable used cars here in Fairbanks on consignment. I got the carfax report and it is clean and if everything goes through I will be the fourth owner. The truck is in really good shape as you can see from the pictures below and runs and sounds good to me. I have it scheduled to go to a local shop called the Diesel Doctor here in Fairbanks for a free pre-purchase vehicle inspection on Thursday. This is the truck I have have been lusting after for a long time :gearjamin Since I wrecked my 97 GMC 32500 7.4L 454 last week this truck showed up on the lot about 6 days after and I think that this truck was meant to be. This will be my third GM truck and 2nd Chevy and all have been a GREEN color of some sort.
I feel the 23K I am spending for it is a great deal and is alot less than other newer models with short or long boxes or gas engines with more miles or not a crewcab are going for in the area, except for the Dodge 2500 next to it but the wife didn't like it and I am glad to be sticking with a GM product. They were asking 25,995.00 for it but they accepted my offer and I am just waiting for my financing to go through. I think this will be a great vehicle for me as a new diesel owner.
I have been around diesels a long time on the farm and the firehouse but never owned one so any advice or info would be greatly appreciated.
