JEERS

As much as I love these trucks, the 5.3 was the wrong engine to put in this truck from the start. The later models with the 6.0 V8 would be worth the other issue with this truck. PRICE, they are asking is way too high.

Love the color.

[CanadianBacon94]

Cheer, i love the look of these trucks

Jeers, wish it was the 6.0, or the stick

What they said.

Price Jeers bigtime.

[balthazar]

What was the original sticker on these?

[bobo]

Around $42k.

[crunksoulbrotha!!`]

Around $42k.

Wasn't that what they cost brand new?

[bobo]

Yes, they are still asking pretty much the sticker price for the car. It has sat for 8 years with no appreciation.

[GMTruckGuy74]

I voted Cheers because I love the SSR and hope to one day (sooner rather than later, but that's a financial pipe dream) own one.

[Camino LS6]

I like the SSR too, but this one isn't the most desirable of configurations and the price is way out of line.

[balthazar]

I don't know the market on these but I'll say this- I'm not surprised to see a brand new 'specialty' (collectible from new) vehicle like this still asking MSRP-esque price.

This isn't a mass-market Impala...

[Camino LS6]

I've followed them off and on for quite a while, and the combination of low-mile examples being out there at about half of this price as well as the fact that it isn't a 6spd., 6.0, or a special edition just makes the price too high.

At least right now.

[daves87rs]

Jeers....no thank you.

[§carlet §wordfish]

Cheers, purely for car and color.

[loki]

this is awesome the same way the retro thunderbird is awesome.... you'd love to have one to cruise in, but there were lots of compromises in the vehicle overall, the thunderbird didn't live long enough to see the 5.0L and a 6speed.... this one did get the 6.0L and 6speed option.

if they made them now, they could be truely great/fun vehicles... they just were made ....5-10 years to early.

I like the SSR too, but this one isn't the most desirable of configurations and the price is way out of line.

I get what you're saying... I wasn't looking at the price though! Here's a similiar one with 27k on it for $23K: http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/cto/2885735164.html I'd go for that before I'd go with the one on eBay (unless I hit the lottery ).
