Just prior to the release of the new Millineum, Chevrolet introduced an all-new pickup, the GMT800, to replace the popular C/K pickup. Most remained unchanged from mid-1998, like the 1999 Silverado, through 2007. The 1999 Silverado improved everything over the previous C/K. From the ride to the power and braking, the numbers have improved. Now, almost 25 years later, is this a good low-priced option?
What bodies and beds did the 2000 Chevrolet Silverado offer?
We can’t say for sure, because there are too many variables. But we can give you a general idea of what Chevrolet has to offer, as well as a look at the market for prices, and the options, body styles and engines that drive up those prices.
Production emphasized mostly around these two V8s. Power breakdown is 200 hp for the V6, 270 for the 4.8, 285 for the 5.3, and 300 for the 6.0.
What is the selling price of a used 2000 Chevrolet Silverado?
These engines are mated to three different transmission options. While a five-speed manual transmission was offered, the majority of Silverado trucks received either the 4L60 or 4L65 four-speed automatic. Automatic transmission models are the majority of trucks we’ve seen, but the manual is still a fun alternative. Generally speaking, you’ll find the proof in the less trim and fleet trucks.
All Silverado trucks feature large disc brakes with ABS as standard. Both 2WD and 4WD were available. The interior was a cross between the previous truck and the then-new fifth-generation Corvette. Accordingly, it had a more spacious interior than the Ford and Ram.
As with everyone, overall condition, accident history, mileage and options greatly affect pricing. In the current price range, they still make a difference. Generally, we see prices under $10,000 for any 2000 Silverado combo. Decent-looking versions with between 200,000 and 300,000 miles run about $5,000 less.
Have they held out after 25 years?
Fixers or those who have had an accident or accidents in the past sell for well under $5,000, but you take your chances in this case. In areas like the Midwest and East Coast, all-wheel drive Silverado trucks sell the most. In the south and west, it is divided equally.
The good news is that the hydraulically-formed tires and build quality have improved these trucks over previous versions. So they still drive well without the typical wind noise and creak of old trucks with similar mileage. In general, for the price, these are the ones that have retained their value and the pleasure of the owner.
