    LOL!! One of the companies my hubby worked for ran some of the most beat-up old rigs you'd ever see, and things were always flying off! The one shelf was replaced twice by the company... and then I put the last one back up with duct tape and jewelry wire. Anyone wanna guess what repairs lasted longer?

    LOL! Yep. The guy who drove that truck after my hubby totaled it about a month after he started driving it... the shelf was still firmly attached to the cab when we were dragging the rest of the truck out of the ditch in pieces!

    offer $32,000 for the frtlnr
    they will counter with $45,000
    counter with $35,000
    they will counter with $42,000
    offer them final with $37,500 if it passes a d.o.t. inspection and dyno and you will buy a two year warranty.
    you will be paying about $2,000 more than the truck is worth(they finance)
    do not pay more than $39,500 without a warranty for this truck...
    just my opinion

    do not take my word as gospel,
    it all depends on alot of other variables when determining a trucks worth
    i would not pay more than $35,000 for it
    remember it is an 03 frtshkr with half a million miles on it there are a lot of trucks for sale right now
     
    Faber Thanks this.
