Re: To buy or not to buy

"Numbers matching" doesn't bring value to these trucks. Only in Corvettes and cars with specialty equipment like an original LS6 Chevelle.

Nice truck... but I'd have a hard time shelling out 30k for any rig. I would say no... it's not worth that.

Gary- That is a great way of looking it, I would not have considered that being a factor when we discussing numbers matching vehicles; so thanks for that.

OP- That truck looks nice, but not 30K nice IMHO. But hey, the truck will bring in what someone is willing to pay right . . . I think you did well choosing the green one. That's a nice rig.
