Modifications very rarely add value to a vehicle, unless it's something OEM, like taking a WT and dressing it up like an LT, then you may add a couple hundred bucks to the value... other than that, 21K is too much, I just bought an 06 Sierra nicely optioned for 18.5K with only 32,000 KM's on it, that's about 19,000 miles.

21k seems a bit. I'de pay maybe 16k for it if I had the money to buy a toy.

Why buy something that already has every modification done to it? There's no fun in that. Plus then you'd have to tell people that you bought it like that instead of being able to tell them exactly how you did it.

I just saw this one today. It's a 2001 with the 8.1. Only 14,xxx miles. 44 inch tires. Very nicely done custom paint. Tons of stuff done to the motor and tranny. And obviously everything else. Now would you want this one for 1k less, or stick with the Denali?

Now that is a nice truck. The Denali is pretty sweet too, but holy crap that's too much. Unless they upgraded every option with better options, then it might be worth it.

Edit: Also, the mileage isn't THAT bad. It is a little over average of 15k miles a year. 15,950/year

If that's an '01 they did a major face lift...

Agreeing with everybody else.. don't buy something you can't modify/has been already or you'll lose interest in it and won't be able to call it "your own". Buy something stock for FAR less money than that, but still good condition and take your time making it exactly how you want it. I've only had my Blazer since last November and it was bone stock save for the flowmaster on it. I've only done a few things here and there but with each mod I love it even more.

EDIT: And the body lines are off by quite a bit on that truck... Click it full res and you'll see that it's actually kind of ugly.

I actually see them a lot with the Cadillac front end conversion kit. Not a whole lot to it.

I just looked a little closer, the body lines are off a bit. Didn't catch it because I don't want to buy it, just take pictures and gawk at it.

I'm glad you're not buying it, the seller would just be giggling as you drove away because he would have butt hurt you on that one.

well thanks for all the replies you guys. After alot of thinking and just common sense, I won't be considering buying it.

Thats just my dream car I guess, a full sized 2000's suv. Chevy or Gm.

I'm just gonna save up for awhile longer, and buy stock and then upgrade, like some said, then i know whats been done to it, but also adds some personal attributes too.

Just my blazer is killing me with constant parts that keep going bad, it's an uphill battle. I haven't even been able to get my body lift on yet :/

but once again thanks you guys.

And Big Thanks to DKSDAD, i really appreciated that, and seeing how many things had been replaced in that car helped me make my decision.
thanks
