Maybe not for me, but for someone out there, the most interesting car is parked in my driveway. This isn’t the first note or door knock we’ve received from someone who wants to buy it. The guy who sold me those new tires wanted to buy it.
It’s a 2000 Chevrolet Suburban LT, 205k miles, with 4WD and the 5.3 V8. That’s the first or second year (depending on who I believe) of the GMT800 platform. Below are some closeups showing the patina (aka, GM can’t formulate a paint that sticks to plastic).
It used to be worth maybe $2-5k, but that was 8 years ago. Blue book is still around $5k private party. When I look at completed auctions on Bring a Trailer, they’re all $10k+. A clean 2500 with the 8.1 could easily go for $25k+, depending on mileage, but the 1500 5.3s are still 5 figures.
Even if I could sell it for $10k, what would I replace it with?
