Ugly truck.

I'll give you $10.

Yay! Yippee! My first offer!

Now we can start negotiating.

How about $5890?

Your mom obviously left negotiating skills out of your basic life skills
curriculum.

You guys are ruining my fantasy bout heading down over the border and
picking up a cheap, rustless southeren truck.
Almost $6k for a 13 year old truck... and a standard transmission to boot!
Is that what they go for there?

Down here with those miles, and in good shape, you could get 2 grand
by the side of the road, and maybe a little more on a trade...

His old pickup truck is probably worth no more than $4500 at best. He is
being greedy.



I thought you believed in free markets?

How much did they offer you for a trade in, or did you try?

I am talking by the side of the road, what I would pay. Maybe 500 more
if it is a non-smoking and slick clean, Not recently cleaned, but
always cleaned... At the same time, if it is really clean he could
probably get nearly what he is asking in the right market. It might
take a while, but someone who wants that truck might pay him 45-5...
If I were selling it, I would put it by the side of the road for 5. If
I sell my Blazer I might ask 5 but it is clean, an 01' auto, air,
sunroof,, cd... loaded, 6 cyl, drawtight....65000mi...

NADA says it is about right, but my son just bought a similar 1996,
perfect paint, 4WD, auto trans, model with half the miles for the same
money....

and his is red not.... uh....... whatever that color is......



Might be a nice truck, and I'd buy it for a local boat tow, but with
that kind of mileage, I'd be very wary.
