Thread: New truck

no. but he did tell me he did not expect it to sell that quick.. I think he knew it was worth more than he was asking, just not by how much.. these trucks in this condition in my area sell for $5k or so, at a dealer.. $3,500 or so private party. figuring in $1,500 for repairs ( at a shop ), he could have still asked $2k and sold it, tho it would have sold slower..

but I'v wanted a tow capable vehicle for a long time.. my '98 Ranger was but it only had about 20k miles left in it b4 it would need somthing major.. so the wreck was actually a good thing in a way.. this is rated for 6.2k lbs ( it's a 5spd ). but has an electric trailer brake controller, and his main use was towing his 5k lbs race car trailer ( open deck ).. so it will haul a lighter weight open deck car trailer, with a 2.5klbs hotrod on it easilly I would think.

Way to go Matt. What a great score for 800 bucks. the body and paint look great. Even beater trucks that are 4x4's go for more around here!
