06 colorado extreme?

Hey, the balt may be sold and with buying a house, i kinda need a truck. Im looking at an 06 colorado extreme extended cab. Anyone know if these are any good? It has the inline 5 with 220 hp. I love the looks of it. Has 69k and hes asking $12900 for it but know i can get it for less.

Just make sure it has the updated head or youve got a warranty

They are alright- I've never been a fan of smaller trucks; I don't like the way they drive. That being said to put some perspective on that, we had an 07 at my dealership for that price and I think a bit fewer kms. Was a manual though.

meh, I dont think they are very well put together.

If you had the money, I would buy a nice car or something fun to drive or modify etc. then buy a cheap older truck.

I personally like the looks and surprising reliability and power from a 87-91 lifted f150.

the inline 6's are damn near bulletproof and can pull trailers like a ****.
