Looks can be deceiving.
Found a nice looking truck... from a distance, looks good till you actually see it up close.
Someone rushed through the resto. cheap paint job, chips all over, nasty spray bed liner. I was sadly disappointed. |

Re: Looks can be deceiving.
Usually when you see a car or truck at a dealer like that you can take the price and cut it in half to see what the vehicle is really worth.

Re: Looks can be deceiving.
Looks like a nice truck in the pic, I can see how it would be reviving though.

Re: Looks can be deceiving.
I think the key here is that it's not a "resto" at all. More like a comb-over...at least that's what I call 'em. I have gone to look at trucks that were claimed to be 95% restored. I saw nothing "restored" and they needed a lot. As I am about to leave I like to say,"That's a big 5%"
