I think I'd want to see that one in person first. Plus them chrome wheels gotta go! That might add $600-$800 to have them refinished?!?!

Armrest is 100% separated. No question. Photo shows it clearly. But it's a fairly easy fix. That truck is 16 years old, doesn't surprise me, even with the low mileage. Certainly wouldn't dissuade me from a 40k mile imola 4.8is if I were in the market. And at $11k currently it might be a bargain. I paid $15k for mine with 90k (though it was 5 years ago and had Dinan gear on it) miles and far worse paint than that one.
I'd certainly rather buy a good mechanical vehicle with good body in need of a few trim items rather than the other way around. Resonator being removed by one of the previous owners is interesting. But no maintenance history, other than battery and brake fluid, worries me. Sold by a dealer worries me.
^Says the guy who bought his imola sight unseen from a Buick dealership who took it in on trade. Then drove it home from California with no PPI.
If it's the right truck for the right buyer... how does the saying go? "There is an ass for every seat."
