The title was in the father's name, legally I have no obligation to him.
Mostly I just wanted to know if $2000 is gouging a guy for a pickup that I didn't think was worth that on the market. I don't want to be someone who finds someone else's weak spot and squeezes, but at the same time I don't want to be taken for a ride. From what I'm gathering here, I underestimated the value of pickup; I know it's valuable to me, but it's hard to judge fair market value of a project vehicle.
As much as my wife gripes about having to drive it from time to time, I was surprised at how attached she's gotten to it. Maybe $3000 is a more appropriate price, it's a tool I use and love, not a burdensome relic in my way, which I believe is how his father viewed it.

I just saw one sell for 3200 that I dont feel was as good as mine .. i did upgrade to power steering and mine had power brakes when I got it .. But everything else on the truck needed tinkering before it was road worthy ... By the way , who's name was the title in ????
