Hey Scotty,
looking at a 2005 Chevy avalanche for $17,000. It’s a one owner 5.3L, with 65,000 miles. What problems are they known for?
Clarification: How many years and miles do you need it to last you?
Stop looking at a 2005 Chevy avalanche for $17,000..
What happened to the used car market?
You are asking about the first generation version (before they went to cylinder deactivation for the second generation), and they were decent trucks (based on the Silverado platform). That one is definitely overpriced. See below:
