I have a 1998 Chevy truck as seen here:
These days? It's got over 190k miles, starting to get some rust in the rockers (just like all Chevys do), and it has all kinds of leaks and makes funky noises. It also has some electrical issues that add to its "personality." However, with all of that said, it pulls the mountain every day on the way to and from work, and it keeps me safe. It hauls my drums and PA system, my kids, and my wife just fine. That's all I really care about. She's not beauty queen, but who cares? It's just an old Chevy, right?
Ummm....
I started seeing some of these for sale around town. Apparently, there's a market for these older K1500 trucks. Check out these ads:
Price: $26,500 1995 z71 (low miles)
1988 Chevy (really low miles)
$25,000
Are these things becoming collector's items? Granted, these are in great shape, especially considering their age, but is there a market for these in lower-mile versions?
