I'm selling a very clean, high mileage 1998 Chevy Silverado I've owned for a couple months.

 

I bought this truck because I work for a company that provides me a company vehicle. Until this summer I always had the option of a company pickup truck. That changed this year and I decided to buy this truck to haul kids' motorcycles and the occasional load of firewood. Two months later I decided to change jobs and my new position provides a company pickup!

 

I no longer need this truck so I'm hoping someone out there needs it. It's a great, clean, sharp truck from a model year when I think Chevy got it "just right" in terms of body style and options. I don't think the cab corners have ever been worked on and they are solid and in great condition. The rockers are also rust free. The previous owner did brush and paint them to clean up 225,000 miles of scratches but there was no rust he fixed. Please see the pictures to get an idea just how nice the cab corners and rockers are. The only rust on this vehicle is starting at the bottom of the doors under the weatherstripping. The bed is protected by a full bedliner and includes front corner anchors added by a previous owner. There are scratches on the driver's door you can see in the pictures. These only affect the color coat and don't penetrate the primer.

 

The interior is in great shape and only shows one wear spot on the upholstery. This is on the driver's seat and can be seen in the pictures. It comes with an aftermarket stereo with removable faceplate and remote control. It AM/FM/CD as well as an auxiliary jack I use to run my XM receiver. I'm willing to work with you on keeping the XM receiver for the rest of my subscription if you wish as long as you agree to my asking price. It's good for another couple months after which time you may keep the receiver and buy your own subscription or return the receiver and vehicle kit to me - whatever you want.

 

Here are the items that I was going to work on if I had kept the truck:

• The truck should have new tires before the winter and have a front end alignment. I was waiting to get new tires to get the front end aligned but I'll let the new owner do that.
• The headlamp switch needs replaced. They can be had for about $35 but again this isn't a priority for me. The headlights work fine but the switch needs to be moved between positions for high beams.
• The A/C needs to be charged.
• The check engine light is on. It codes as a catalytic converter error which is to be expected on a high mileage truck. It runs fine and has no effect on the truck's performance.

I just completed a 500 mile round trip to Chicago and back with absolutely no issues. I really enjoy driving this truck but, as I mentioned, I no longer need it and would rather not take up space parking it. Thsi would make a great first vehicle for a young person or use it as I was going to as an extra vehicle to do some work.

 

Please contact me with any questions. I've sold a couple vehicle successfully on eBay in the past and expect this will be the same. I'm not trying to make any money on this truck. In fact I'll lose a couple hundred with my "Buy it Now" but I figure I got that much use out of it.

 

Thanks for viewing!
