I came across a 1985 280 ge 5 door truck.
The vehicle is white with the upgraded interior
package. The vehicle has the 5 speed transmission.
It has 16000 documented miles and is currently in a car collection. I know
it could be bought for 20k. Is this priced correctly?

Thanks for reading.

20K is OK if it is in excellent shape (and it sounds like it is)...anything lower than that I'd consider it a good buy.

I'm currently looking at a 2003 G500 with almost 100K on it ...the seller is asking 23,500 for it, which seems kinda low compared to others around this year...

The old 6cylinder and smaller euro models always seem to pull some extra niche money. With an early US truck you're getting a hell of a lot more truck for your dollar, but you're also buying a lot more electronics and repair bills down the road.

I think its hard to compare a 460/461 directly to a 463.

16,000 documented miles, rust free, already stateside, sounds like a good buy to me.

I've seen people looking for mid to high teens for 100k mile trucks rust free in Ohio. But why not try to get it for 18?

I would be concerned about the low mileage on a truck that old. Lots of components could severely deteriorate without regular use.

Personally, I would say $15k tops; and $10k would be a more realistic number.
