I've been looking for a truck for quite awhile here, but trucks are very much at a premium around here, this is truck country. And needless to say, the Chevy's are the hardest to find. If you're not the first one there when a good one goes on sale... you loose. Well, I "was" the "first one" the other day, and even though I was writing out the check to buy it, they were lined up behind me asking how much and saying I'll take it.
I almost felt bad though, because it was an elderly couples truck and they had bought it new. It only has 22,000 miles on it, and has been garage kept. I've never seen a nicer looking used vehicle. The old guy had a stroke a few years back, so the truck just didn't get used, and the woman thought it was too big for her to navigate. So I got a '97 fully loaded Silverado for $8,500.00, and it books for around $11,500. Like I said, I felt bad. I knew I was getting it for far less than it was worth. The early bird gets the worm though, and this time, I was early bird...
