Looking to buy my first duramax.

I am looking at a 03 crewcab GMC duramax loaded. It has 270,000 miles and it just had 8 new injectors put in. Runs and looks great!! few cosmetic issues but I can get truck for 11,500. I feel this is a good price. Any thoughts ???? it is 4x4

The only problem I have with this vehicle is that it is nearing the end of its service life based on the mileage. Look around as there are units out there with less than 150,000 for $25000 or less.

The main thing is that you need to take your time and be patient. Go on the web and do a search. The Duramax is a splendid platform, but very expense to repair when things go wrong. The Duramax does hold its value very well and I was able to purchase a 08 extended cab 4x2 LT 1 LMM with 91,000 mls. The vehicle needed a new set of batteries which the selling dealer and I split 50%.
