Default Can't sell my old truck

I wanted to just give away my old 1985 Nissan 4WD with 318,000 miles
but my wife insisted I try to sell it starting at $1000. I can
honestly say that I NEVER WASHED IT. My wife washed it a few times
but I never did and it actually looks ok (I also have low standards).
Well, an ad on Craigslist drew no looks and neither did a newspaper
ad. I think it is the mileage that scares people. She actually runs,
has a few problems but really runs and the 4WD works too. Tried to
give it to my son so he could learn some mechanical skills but he
just rolled his eyes. This truck is OK, a REAL truck and not
something that belongs in some ad for Men's fragrance.



Everyone wants a dirty old truck with 318000 miles.
