how much would you pay for this?

i dont know why this guy is asking 8k for a truck with an r title but im looking for something on the cheaper side to beat around in and take on the trails. what would you say would be a fair price for something like this? i already have my eye on a 99 im most likley going to pickup but he is local and i wanted to know whats a reasonable offer that i can throw at him if i go to take a look at it

 

take it for a drive, bring cash, and provided its in as good as shape as he said, offer him 55. not trd, its 12 years old, R title, yeah no.

 

oh i totally agree. ive been looking all over the place everyday for the past few weeks. ideally id like an 01 or something which i found in my price range but i dont want a standard cab so its been a little harder. up here in pa there isnt much but i found a few in atlanta near where my brother lives that hes gonna take a look at for me. i was planning on offering the guy 5k for it which i think is fair considering its got an R title which basically makes it not worth shit

 

5k what i say

 

im not desperate to buy a truck im content with looking and waiting for the deal to come along i just happened to have this pop up and i figured id give it a shot if hes willing to come way way down on the price. i have a feeling he is a guy that thinks this thing is worth a million dollars which i think hes sadly mistaken. he sent me an email before this was listed responding to my wanted ad and he said he wanted 8. i told him my budget was 7.5 and he said well i cant do that. then he sent me an email when he listed this saying he would take 7 which is still way too high. ill go offer him 5 and if he wants to never buy his deisel truck because he wont be reasonable ill buy something else

 

yea you can do better :bigthumb:

Got my 96 with only 96k on it for 6.3k..

 

The bed is a different color, I think its been wrecked more than he says....

 

I would steer clear of that track, anything without a clear title or with any body work like the bed is baddd newwss!!!
I would find something with more miles that hasnt been wrecked

 

You never heard of bedliner? they are almost always black

 

Unless your referring to the glossier look of the red, then yes it does look like it was repainted/worked on

 

Looks like front was lifted but not rear. I wouldn't go more than 3500 IF it is mechanically decent given all the other stuff with the title and whatever is up with the bed.

 

Yeah, I was talkin about the paint color, not the bedliner...

 

Holy hell....You just get outta the joint or something? Talk about thread revival... lol

 

Yeah well i got mine with 81k for only 3500 haha although i did buy it off a family member
