Used Chevrolet Silverado 1500 for Sale

My main concern when purchasing this truck was it's age. Being such an old truck there are numerous things that can go wrong with it. Although the transmission and head gasket had recently been replaced, two major problems of this vehicle, there were a myriad of other issues that could go wrong with this truck. That being said, the gentleman that I purchased the car from seemed to have taken good care of the truck and I was fairly confident that there would be no major issues in the near future. My next concern was that the vehicle would not pass smog, and it did not at first. After a few trips to the mechanic, we were able to identify the problem but it was still a hassle and still cost money. The locks on the doors did not work and required two different locksmiths to fix. When fixing, this required taking the whole door apart on each side due to how old this truck was. The driver side door does have trouble closing and at times can take multiple tries to shut. The paint on the roof is chipping along with the bed of the truck. I have since painted the bed of the truck but the roof is still on my to do list. The air conditioning does not work which isn't a problem during the cooler months but during the summer time it can feel like a sauna inside.

The brilliant GM security feature of Passlock would be very welcome if someone was trying to steal the vehicle; however as the owner it is very troublesome when the Passlock malfunctions and believes that I am a thief (repeatedly) - delaying my starting of the truck for 15-20 minutes at a time and stranding me for the wait time. Disabling this nice feature is next to impossible, bypassing it might be a hacks dream, and no recall make this very frustrating. The seats are standard flat benches, not providing much contour or adjustment features for customizing or improving comfort. 17" Tires are not cheap so when it is time to replace a set, a home equity loan might be in order. The paint blisters sooner on this vehicle than the Hondas or Toyotas that I've owned; and I've seen the same blister patterns (roof/hood) on others' same model also.

That it does not have a sun roof. I do not like how the front doors have to be opened first to get the back doors open. The back windows are a pop out and do go down. This makes it difficult to get a lot of air into the back without having the front windows open.
