Its GM lol. Let's build multiple of the same model of truck all at once for no reason lol. I agree they are weird... but then the 2wd SS and Vmax trucks were torsion bar too. I almost want one to see if the provision is in the frame to put in a front diff lol.

Still has the door badges and Vho 20s... cool The only thing I don't like with the one I want is the guy added that lovely fender lip trim.... which with my luck has rubbed through the paint on the front fenders and boxsides

My 03 was not a steal by any stretch. Fair market value on a truck that is 10 years old with a shade over 100000 miles. The good part was the fact I don't have to spend a pile of money fixing the usual stuff no one ever does. Market values vary.... but... its a 2wd extended cab which will not be a high demand to people that aren't enthusiasts. That's evident by the price drop as whoever it is is sick of sitting on it. You just play that.

From the pictures it seems to be ok for that price. As far as how well it runs and such is up to you. Grab a scan tool with basic diagnostic abilities and see if it will pass a State OBD check. This will let you know if someone is wiping the codes on it before you look at it (just a safety precaution buying used).

10K is still a little high but you did talk them down almost 5K. Anything else you get off it at this point will have to be done by picking nits. If it's a used car dealership, discovering that they did a code wipe can literally knock another thousand off the price.
