What are your thoughts on this deal? And what are the things he should look for on a 97? Thanks!   Joey (Joey4420) Senior Member Username: Joey4420 Post Number: 311 Registered: 04-2003 Posted on Friday, October 17, 2003 - 08:13 am:    $8600 for and SE7 if that is the one he is looking at, is not a bad deal. I paid $9200 for mine back in May with 80k on it SE7. The only issues I have had was a fuel filter, air filter, s-belt and CDL lever was stuck.   Robert Pate (Racerx) New Member Username: Racerx Post Number: 23 Registered: 08-2003 Posted on Friday, October 17, 2003 - 05:57 pm:    Thats a great deal. I have an 97 SE7 I got it new. I now have 111,000k. It's been a great truck. No problems other than the usual maintance items.   Peter J Blatt (Peteb) Senior Member Username: Peteb Post Number: 264 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Friday, October 17, 2003 - 06:34 pm:    My 97 has 100k and the only thing that needed to be replaced was the alternator, You might be looking at a good one, mabey someone at a dealer could run the vin for you and tell you all that has been done under warrenty, this may be a good indicator of maintenance.
