  • I bought this 2007 Chevrolet Silverado from the auction with front end and side damage from a trip off road. We will fix all the accident related damage as well as the broken stuff the last owner seems to have neglected over the years.

    Seems like there was more work involved in fixing all the small issues and the maintenance than what there was in the actual damage repair. For an older truck, it came out looking pretty good. Always interesting seeing how you turn a pile of junk into a nice vehicle that the new owner can enjoy for years to come. All the best from Queensland Australia.

    • @fraidykat
      @fraidykat Рік тому +2

      That small stuff is why people will trade in a used truck for a new one truck with a $60,000 note. Used dealership will put in the $1000-$3000 to fix all these minor issues and then resell the old truck for $30,000-$40,000 because that's what a used truck seems to cost nowadays.

    It's kinda funny, Y'all come to Texas to find rust free trucks, we go north to find trucks with interior plastics that haven't completely disintegrated.
    I think a 1994-up body style dashboard without cracks sells for more than a running truck does these days. Unless it's a Cummins, then they're all at least 20k.

They really do have the world’s easiest-to-change headlights! Don’t even have to adjust them, after re-installation. These trucks just have everything going for them!
