That comment is the consensus.
I am a wanna-be but from what I've seen, the fair market price is $12K,
if the truck were restored to DD quality. It seems the truck was restored in 2009 but 20K miles and six years haven taken there toll:
- rust on rocker panels and drip rail
- wood bed is weathered and cracked
- small hole in windshield
- some clean up to interior after CB removal
The problem with these fixes is that there is no "wow" impact. In other words, you buy the truck for $12K and spend $3K to fix it up and you still have a $12K truck. As someone else said, "don't put money into a truck, you can't afford to lose."
So I'll offer less than $12K and try to explain why. With any luck, they will accept my offer and these piddly changes will only be the beginning . . .
Thank you all for taking the time to share your thoughts. Have a great week.
