Is this a good deal or what?

[Low_Bridge]

I'm drooling over 1991 Suburban 2 wheel 2500 with 78,000 miles in service by a govt agency. It's got a J motor, 410 Gears & a 4 speed auto. the inside is about an 8 and the body is as straight as an arrow and drives great but it's got the red stripe down the side so a repaint is in order, but no not a speck of rust ANYWHERE. Full power with the rubber mats for carpet.

It's going to set me back $6,700 with tax title & yadda, yadda. I can't get them to budge another nickel-

It seems like a good value & I'd have to spend 10 Grand or more to come close to something this tight in a newer model.

Prices seem to be all over the place. It's for my wife to haul the kids around- she's driven it & likes the way it rides. Should we keep shopping or grab it up?

Any input would be appreciated.

The Old Blazer would go up for sale-

thats a real good deal,in my area you will pay about 5500 to 6000 for a 85 to 88 model

Sounds pretty high to me. You can usually find stuff that old for half that price around here. Of course, you usually don't find one with that low of mileage.

I wouldn't pay that much for a '90. For example, there's a 94 2500 crew cab 6.5L TURBO pickup for sale near me. They're only asking $5900 for it. Looks great, don't know how many miles are on it.

Just look at the DP classifieds, and you'll find similar vehicles for a lot less.

Of course, if you like it and want it, by all means buy it!

It's the low miles, no rust able to carry 8 passenger + & govt scheduled maintenance eating at us luring us on. I found a 4x4 with a new pump and all kind of stuff already replaced for a lot less almost half, but she's got 200k. Isn't America a great place to live!

Your wife will probably like it. My wife loves our Suburban. Can carry 7 people with relative comfort, 8 in a pinch. We have a half ton with 3.73 gears and 700R4 and get 22 mpg on trips. A 3/4 ton with 4.10 and 3 speed will be a bit less, but still reasonable. Price sounds a little steep, but still lots less than any 2004.

i'd like to find a g20 conversion van with a 6.2 or 6.5

If I may point out the thing that matters most:

"she's driven it & likes the way it rides."

She can't beat you over the head with it later, know what I mean? :D

....When you get to choose your rope, the hangin' ain't as bad. Heard that in a movie once.

Give her a chance to talk you into it. The price sounds good, if it's that clean. 1990 was a good year for 6.2L's.
