i think its the second ..

american cars cannot hold their value. people here are sellin 2006 Ford Explorers for around that price . 11k around.. its NUTS.. especially with the soaring gas prices..

what do you mean it drove a little rough though? like tranny/engine wise? or just the ride in general

That aint nuthin! I had a guy wanting to trade a Dodge V6 truck, 2006 model. We could only allow $9,500 for trade value because that's all they are bringing at auction! I felt bad for the guy, cuz he still owes, like, TWICE that. Blame the gas prices, I guess. OH, AND SUB-PRIME LENDING.

As for the Chevy, I don't see anything wrong with that, as long as that's what you need. Everyone and their mother/brother/cousin is getting rid of their trucks and SUV's right now, and getting into economy cars. The market is FLOODED with all these big gas guzzlers, and so they are going cheap. If it's what you need, then get it. I don't think it's gonna get much cheaper.

well it drove a little rough, I got out and popped the hood and everything just look so new, and i checked the tranny fluid and it was red/pink w/o any burnt smell, they also gave me a car fax report on it? now idk what to do i dont want to buy a 11K lemon.

Carfax reports are nice to have, but Carffax doesn't find everything. I've seen a lot of cars that were very obviously smashed, but had a clean Carfax.

And I wouldn't think a 2006 model vehicle with 22k miles should drive even a little rough. Is it just the tires are noisy, or does the thing drive like a log wagon?

Ask them if you can have a reputable shop or dealer service department look at it. Say you want a second opinion, just to see what they say.

Yeah the dealer said it was that everyone wants toyota hyundai ect. thats why there getting rid of there trucks suvs, now when i drive it it just seems rough driving it may be the tires, they also gave me a sheet of what they did too it when they got it, just 4 whhel allignment and tire rotation, they told me since it has 22k it has another 14 K to go for the factory warranty to go up... idk what it covers

I just need to know how relaible an 06 silverado is, it's really nice looking and everything is nice and new under neath the hood, hopefully someone will right me back there opinion please.

WhtCastle

I wish I would have waited to get my gas guzzler! Dammit all!

guyad

This is my 04...same thing, no real changes made from 04-06. It's taken a lot of beatings, and it is stayed very reliable.

Can someone tell me if it looks like a good deal to them and would they do it idk how the trucks drive but the v6 here drove rough but it's really cheap.

legend89chopped

Hell, if it still has a good manu's warranty then go for it. Just make sure to get it checked out before it expires. Consider getting an extended warranty, because GM doesn't exactly have a great automatic transmission design.

I agree if its still under warenty get it. and just put into the shop and have the warenty cover all that.... and riding ruff as in the tires, well they probley need to be balanced no big deal. as for the engine the warenty will cover that.. I think....
