Where is everyone #5

You know it's bad when your dog looks at it's own butt in disgust!

 

There could be some Artistic Alterations coming to this Picture

Right, @shogun

 

How much would you pay for a low mile OBS?

Only worth whatever the buyer wants to pay. It’s still a 20 year old truck...

 

If it's actually low mileage, meaning less than 100k on the odo, and the truck is MINT and STOCK, I'd be willing to pay up to $10k for one. But I do mean it would have to be Mint.

For anything less than mint, I'd be in the $5-7k range.

 

Out here putting lipstick on a pig...

 

But it’s got the deeeeeesill in it, sir. Don’t cha know it’s still worth 25k?!??

 

I'm still interested in buying one if you guys decide to sell them.

 

Yep, gonna run into those types who think diesel means they've got some kind of precious metal on their hands.

"Truck is low mileage, only has 250k miles on it. It's just getting broken in and it'll last till 1 mil!. Never mind the fact that it's been "upgraded", and I've driven it like a whipped mule the entire time I've had it. Never mind the knock you hear, that's how diesels are!"

My truck is a 2002....

Saw it advertised at one of the local "buy here pay here" dealerships for $14k. Under mileage it said "PLEASE CALL". When they don't want to put the miles in the ad, you know it's got a few on it. I laughed and said "NOPE" and kept looking.

Saw all kinds of diesel Ferds advertised in the area for $14-18k, all with over 200k on the clock. Most you could tell had been given the Brodozer treatment.

Six months later I shopped again and the truck I'd seen first was still at the same dealer, but the price had been cut down to $10k. Then I got a little interested and went and looked at it.

275K miles.
Check engine light on
Dead cylinder.

"You want how much now?"

Talked him down to $8.5k and traded the 200k mile '98 Ram gasser I had for $1500 more off the price. (Transmission in the Ram was losing 1st gear).

Replaced a bad injector for $120 and a tiny bit of my time.

 

I'll call you. If the guy I'm leased to is going to keep one there's no sense in me keeping one.

 

That would be fun and a great experience. Each time you post Barboursville I’m thinking VA. That’s where I had family. WVa is not far from here for an event like that.
