Hey everyone, brand new here. Not really a long time lurker or anything, I just stumbled across this place when I was searching some gmt800 stuff. Then I saw this forum, and then Jeeps and WOW! Had to sign up!
I very recently picked up a 2006 2500 4x4 burb off a large online auction, 153000 miles. It's the commercial model and as it turns out it lived it's life in the Modesto, CA area as a sheriff dept transport vehicle. Still has all the cage barriers and even the weapon drawer in the back.
I live in Texas, and as dumb as it sounds, I inadvertently bid on this thing while looking at trailers in my state - after a few beverages, perhaps. 4 days later I get the email congratulating me on winning the burb, and I'm like uh oh. So...rather than pay a $500 fee to get out of it, I went and got it. Winning bid was $2000 and after fees and CA sales tax, the total purchase price was $2540.
Apparently they thought it wouldn't run, and sure enough when we got there to load it, it wouldn't crank. 20 mins later I got it going (bad fuse) and off I went. I'm sure if that fuse had been good, it would've gone for much more.
Here it is, in all its glory. The front cab area is actually in very good condition. Everything works perfectly, and the only paint damage is the typical GM white flaking off the hood. Not a scratch anywhere else or blemish.
