Me too, but I didn't say OBO anywhere!

yeah, but if you offer someone in rec.boats, $5000 below asking price,
you will only make $900, but if someone offers you $12,900 and you give
them $5000 of, you can sell them the boat for $7900. I just made u an
extra $2000.

Almost $6k for a 13 year old truck... and a standard transmission to boot!

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

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.

I didn't try. I don't really care if I don't sell it any time soon. If

yeah, but if you offer someone in rec.boats, $5000 below asking price,
