Stick,

Absolutely; however, before you buy it how do you know what kind of job the restorer did unless you take the time to carefully
inspect it yourself and check all the paperwork?

I'll bet dollars to donuts that every GMC owner who puts his GMC up for sale will tell you about all the upgrades they have done and
how well they have maintained the unit.

Then you start checking the paperwork and you find out that a lot of the upgrades were done long ago and need re-doing and the
maintenance wasn't quite as good a the PO claimed. ;-)

As the carnival barker said; "you pays your money and you takes your chances!"

I personally would rather spend the extra bucks and do it myself that way I KNOW what I've got!

Isn't this sort of like buying a restored antique car vs doing the restoration yourself? I figure you almost always save money
letting someone else spend the big bucks and you enjoying the depreciated value.

Of course, so far I haven't practiced what I'm preaching, but one of these days I'm going to spring for a nice one.
