what would you offer for this truck?? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

griesel72 · 02-25-2004, 09:49 PM

This is a 71 custom 10 deluxe truck. pwr steering, manual brakes, ac (missing the essentials) 350, auto. It's rusty, but not as bad as some.

What would you offer the guy.

thanks
David

lukecp · 02-25-2004, 09:51 PM

$500 on the window looks fine to me

I would pay around a grand or maybe more if it ran and drive good though.

CHEVYE · 02-25-2004, 09:55 PM

i can`t find a basket case for $500. looks like a deal, especially if it`s driveable

Blue Beard · 02-25-2004, 11:12 PM

running gear and frame are worth that.....

make him a $300 offer and go from there..

kaycee · 02-25-2004, 11:17 PM

$500. I would take it for that but I would offer him 3 first

jorgensensc · 02-26-2004, 12:05 AM

Run, Don't walk, to him offer him 300, when he says 500 firm, give him the cash and celebrate by posting more pictures so we can be jealous at the awesome deal!

Just pull out $300 in cash and offer it to him...........have the rest in the other pocket.....but try for the better deal....

Anything saved is investment opportunity for parts........

**smitty62** · 02-26-2004, 12:11 AM

I wouldn't be ashamed to pay anything less than $800 for it. Be careful it isn't bought out from under you--your location is in your avatar!

jcueckert13 · 02-26-2004, 12:13 AM

500 is a steal. around here it would go for 1000

jorgensensc · 02-26-2004, 12:13 AM

The flight alone is 200.00 one way....I could offer 300.00...HMMMM................

Just kidding I wouldn't do that to you.

That is how I got my 72 cheyenne super 2 days ago,the guy wanted $500,I asked how low he would go to get it out of there and he said to make him an offer,For some reason I said $300 and he said OK,I should have said $200

,I will get some pics later today.

Old Dave · 02-26-2004, 09:25 AM

David it looks like a pretty good deal to me if you need another project (or even if you don't). Doesn't look like a farm truck, it's too straight. Looks like it has a lot of good parts.

billtoothaker · 02-26-2004, 10:06 AM

If I saw that on the side of the road, I would be beating the guys door down to buy it.

Blue Beard · 02-26-2004, 10:27 AM

You haven't bought it yet..............?

What's stopping you pilgrim...?

67dragtruck · 02-26-2004, 12:41 PM

I agree, If I was within distance, I would have already paid him and taken it home. You better go get it before somebody thinks like me and buys it.

Tom

Bill72BB · 02-26-2004, 12:52 PM

I agree Run don't walk ,around here if it is running and can be registered it would bring 1000-1500 .

8t5Silverado · 02-26-2004, 02:52 PM

I would buy it today!

TsgtE662 · 02-26-2004, 02:58 PM

Well, to be totally honest, I think I would offer him atleast $50 more than I think you ought too.
Just jokin. lol But like the others said, $300-400. But 500, I wouldn't argue much over it. Grab it and scoot!

sider68 · 02-26-2004, 03:10 PM

$400 then $500.What do you need our blessing for?Just go and buy it.

griesel72 · 02-26-2004, 03:15 PM

Well, i called the number, and a lady told me that she bought it from a guy that was going to restore it, but didn't have the time or money. She said that it ran and drove, and came with a spare transmission. She really couldn't tell me much about it, so i guess i'll just have to meet her there one of these days and drive it.

I'm just afraid that i'll get a bad deal, just wanted some input on what i should offer her for it. I thought i'd offer 250-300, but since she bought it to resell, i'm sure she won't go that low.

Thanks
David

sider68 · 02-26-2004, 03:18 PM

Couple of days???????I,d be there now or tonight before someone else finds out.I,d be insulted if I put it for sale for 500 and was offered 250

That's true, my wife isn't too inthused about the idea of another truck in the line up, but i thought i might part it out and try to make a dollar or two, is there 400 dollars worth of parts there?

David

sider68 · 02-26-2004, 03:48 PM

If that,s the case offer her only $400.Clean the truck up a bit and resell it for 800.Saves tearing it apart unless you need something out of it.
Either that or check out Longhorns thread in general discussion and put it on ebay.Let mac67 do the write up.

*67Fleetsidedream* · 02-26-2004, 04:24 PM

I would jump on that truck. You could buy it, put a little money in it and resale it. You could make a good profit.
