hey guys need your help. first time duramax buyer here and am looking used. Here's the background on the truck, its a 2 owner, SLT, with 104k miles, body and frame look pretty good. guy used it as an everyday driver (not sure about the first owner) routine maintenance was done. It needs a sending unit (like all 00-02's do) and it has been in a minor accident in the front end. didn't effect engine.

2002 GMC 2500HD Turbo Diesel

there it is, let me know what you guys think. If you can see it, let me know. Thanks!!!

I would start by getting a Vin Check and seeing if the injectors have been replaced.

Also, go over it good before you commit to buying. Always "jew" a good bit, I'm sure he'll come off that price. :)
 
I have no idea how a truck cannot be "worked" but I would definently go lower. Like said before do a carfax.
 
I guess he meant he used it as a daily driver rather than a hauler. If he didn't do the injectors by now, would it have caused serrious problems to the engine? And I'm really not a fan of that 5 inch exhaust he has on it either. I guess I'll go take a look at it and "jew" him down. ha. Thanks guys.

Not necessary. That could still be good...Not all LB7's have bad injectors.
