I've done a lot mechanically. It's a 4wd, leather interior, no SR, rear air, 2 sets of wheels (16" winter, 17" summer), 210k no CELs. Recent work - 2 O2 sensors, fuel tank pump, both front hubs, both front shocks, 1 front a arm, intake manifold gasket, exhaust manifold clamp, brake rotors and pads, spare tire hoist, 3 window regulators, exterior rear view mirrors, water pump, alternator, updated grill, updated headlights, fender flares, tune-up including all filters and fluids, fan belt, fuel pressure regulator. Has tow package including brake adjuster, Entertainment system (video doesn' work). Rear barn doors. I'm sure I'm missing something.
Bump. Seriously looking for imput. Don't want to sit on it long but also don't want to get smacked.

Photos would be quite helpful.
What did you want to get for it?

Rust, dents, dings, accidents, repainted panels? Wholesale is probably around $1000 in good shape. Maybe 2500 ish for a selling price 2850 for a starting place or under 2k if you want it to go away a little faster. If it's not a diesel over 200k is rough on value
Yeah, prices here seem to be 2k to 3k. BUt most haven't remotely had the work done on them that I've done recently. Crappy ones are a grand and I've seen crazy prices in the 6k range. That's why it's tough. Plus, I have an extra set of wheel and the ones on it now are from a later gen Suburban. Which would also allow for a later gen brake set up. I was thinking 2500-3k. So I guess I'm not too far off.

Again, without pics this is almost impossible to determine. And you'd need them for an ad, why haven't you shared?
Blue with a 2 tone grey/cream interior. I haven't detailed or fixed a couple of body issues yet so I haven't done pics. That plus my lack of tech skills is well known here.

If its a 1/2ton then yeah 2-3k sounds right, honestly because of mileage you are going to get pretty much 0 return on investment for all the work you did. It will make it sell faster but not sell for more.
What are the body issues? Is this a 5.3?
Yeah 5.3. Have some rust on bottom of rear 1/4s and very back of rockers. Replacing with steel replacement panels. the rest is solid. Also, some scratches and nicks I want to fix. And, yes this is a 1500 (1/2 ton)
She runs great. Starts immediately. Never let us down, not once.
In reply to Jaynen :
Market seems to have dropped off on them. These were 4k all day long last year. Wierd part is that this is the end of the good ones. No cylinder shut down bs and has air bags and abs. Full electronic 4x4.
So, based upon input, I'll start at a little under 3k and see what happens. Thanks all!!!!

Yeah I am just basing it on when I was shopping the 01-05 suburban 2500s and what I ran into

Where are you located? My brother is in the market for one - thus the request for pics. This may be perfect for him.
Edit: You're in MD, I'm in Philly. Perfect. Let's talk! (Sent PM with my number)

Also interested. A friend of mine has been looking for an inexpensive replacement for his current 'burb.
I'm interested. Please contact me gbuitinga at gmail dot com if nothing works out with the interest ahead of me. My best vehicles have come from this forum.
