tt's a crazy market.

@@jerroldshelton9367 I was looking to buy a 2015 Chevrolet Spark EV 4 years ago for $8500 but ended up buying a new Bolt EV for an amazing deal, since nobody wanted them at the time. Now the same Chevy Spark EV are listing for 12000 and beyond. The inflated economy is real

@@puregsr Unfortunately, the "inflated economy" is very real, indeed. The crazy inflated used car market is one evidence of it, for sure.

That’s all just hype, stupid people believe anything and run with it, if someone’s willing to pay almost 8k for a 200k k1500 go ahead stupidity has no limits.

@@Martinez07 Good to hear that "stupid people" have your OK to do what they want with their money. Live and let live, maybe? And that's not a stupid concept.

Hope you have many great years with that truck! It was the best choice in the fleet of old TFL trucks

Haha nice you ever think about putting a 350 in her?

Good deal, those old Chevys are the best.

@@sethhumphries1682 Yes, a 350 is the plan once the 305 gets too tired. Oh, and in 2 years it won't need emissions testing anymore, so I can get rid of the catalytic converters then.

@@steveheighton5971 I have a 97 c1500 with the 350 and it has 266,xxx on it, runs very strong.

How much did you get it for?

I drive a model exactly like this, a 97, and honestly I'm not sure what I would like to do with it as far as modifications, I'm not really one for lifting trucks or modifying it much, I really like the original factory look haha, but I am heavily considering an aftermarket exhaust because I love the sound, my dad has a 03 silverado and has an aftermarket exhaust and it sounds really nice.

Nice run.

Agreed.

No doubt about that. 👊👊🤙🤙👍👍✌️✌️

It wasn't too bad. Luckily it rained most of the way, keeping the temps down.

Thanks Shan!

$7,700

@@gabelumby149 that is a lot for a retired farm truck

Lol he can sell it in the current used truck market for 8,500 😳

They are getting pricey! I spent 10k for my 97 k1500 with fully restored interior, reupholstered seats, paint is 5 years old and its a 1 owner vehicle! Get them before the prices go even higher

$7,700

Just bought a 98 gmc silverado slt with 240k for $2k. Nice overall condition. No rust or clear coat/paint problems. Runs/shifts perfectly. They're out there, may take awhile to find a deal.

They are ugly asf tho. These k 1500s look ugly. I prefer the 2000 to 2005

@@ghostlegit Stock maybe, i own 1 of every body style since 80.. when done right they look legit..🤙

@@jredd801 the front end is Definitely ugly no matter what u do to it but I mean the whole truck can look good. I've seen em with that new lifted show truck style and they look pretty good but overall ugliest truck ever made that is American

@@ghostlegit no the 2004 to 2005 cat eye chevys are better.

2000-2005 is cateye Era bro

Yes there was a 305/5.0L engine that year which tends to be found in the lower trim models like this one.

It's an auction site. Refurbishing old vehicles isn't cost effective.

I say is a little suspicious they had all the time in the world to fix it I’m pretty sure they bought the truck for about 2k and sold it for 8k in my opinion they ripped him up

Often it will be the A/C service valve assy's leaking. Easy/cheap fix.

They did fully disclose the oil leak and A/C issues in the sale description though. You know what you are getting when these guys list their vehicles.

$7,700?!!!!!

@@fsb_-bf3th - Objectively look around at similar vintage trucks. What is your level of knowledge here? He paid a top price, but there’s zero rust. If you have to properly remove rust and then repaint, as these trucks more typically exist, you can hit $7,000 for that alone. He didn’t “steal” the truck, but he won’t be wrenching on it every weekend either. As it sits, it’s ready for the 1400 mile trip home without worries. He did ok. The prices on used trucks have driven well sorted trucks like this from $5,000 to $7,000 easily in the last 2-3 months.

@@shitloveaduck $3200 that Andre paid was overpriced. There are rustfree examples of these trucks all over the place, I own one myself and would be ashamed to sell it at that price.

@@sashadog4142 - Go to TFLBids. See what it auctioned off for. They made some decent money on this truck. A lot! You got a deal and would be selling yourself short if your truck is as good as you say, but go ahead! Someone would be getting a deal in these current times of shortages. Look around more closely.

@@shitloveaduck there is no shortage of these trucks, only idiots willing to overpay.

$7,700

@@steveheighton5971 Are you the buyer? Judging by profile picture?

Lol not really… have you seen prices on obs trucks? Clean low mile examples are going for over 20k. And with good reason, they are the best trucks on the road. Not many 23 year old 200k miles trucks would make a 3 day trip without issue after being abused in mohab. But let’s not forget before the mohab abuse, was a 6 hour trip to even get there. And still didn’t have any problems

Cool

- I find it so interesting how people are so willing to give other people’s money away. The channel is a business. They are here to make money, not operate as a non-profit. Give your head a shake. They do charity events with vehicles. If you are not a regular watcher, go back to “Baby Yota”. They can’t give every truck away,,,,,,,. If you don’t know the whole picture, be careful what you make for a comment. As this channel has grown, so have their charitable give aways. They are actually quite generous. Maybe you could go start your own channel and give away everything it acquires. See how long the money is there to do ANY charity. First manage your own money very well, then if you have enough, give some away. Feel good about yourself at that point, move along. If you are a small business giving away 15% of your profits to charity as you somewhat are asking these guys to do, then speak up, compare your numbers and make a comment. None of us know how much money TFL makes, but those of us that have been watching over the years know they have only recently been able to buy just as much as they currently do. Every business has to grow. They, TFL, re-invest heavily into the company to keep an interesting product going out to the viewers. They also rely themselves on donations (to a degree) from Patreon. I think TFL are balancing the charities vs for profit sales very well!

@@shitloveaduck you are very salty ya must have a dog in this non fight and I'm a regular viewer Colorado resident supporting a local channel and a Vet it was only a few thousands bucks from a channel making millions who cares what I say or think I was trying to send them pictures of all prototypes I see in Denver and Aurora I know it's a small profit margin to operate by I'm just a guy talking out my butt the main reason I said that was after the show about best trucks to buy every cheap SUV and pick up trucks have gone threw the roof this was before covid19

Savoir Faire, with all the money you make, you could give your vehicles away or donate them to a needy vet or something but money is made.

@@savoirfaire5460 - Whattttt??? Same as me responding you, others may have something to say. It’s the risk everyone takes that leaves a comment. You take care of your money and they will take care of theirs. I do the same about it myself. I have been successful and often get comments like yours directed my way. It falls into the “Nunya” category. Nunya d*mn business! Later.

@@shitloveaduck stay strong and keep on trucking dude
