    Click the button on the bottom right that says Upload a File, click choose file, and navigate to your picture. Click on the picture to highlight it, and click open. Might take a while to upload. Then click Post Reply.

    Probably means Xtracab. But I don't think there was a long bed Xtracab.

    Right next to where the "Post Reply" button is, you'll see a "Upload a file" button. When you click that, you'll be able to select the photos from your photo library that you want to upload.

    my 99 SR5 V6 4x4 with 144k is valued at about $8k right now on KBB. prices keep going up - was only about $6.5k a couple years ago.
    I'd say if you trust the owner, know some of the history, and want it go for it.

    In central US its worth about 6 to 8K......
    on east coast 1K more .....west coast 2 k more - especially upper NW

    I'd offer him $5k to 6K depend on 4/6 cyl......the 4X4's require constant attention....
    your coming up on valve adjustments, fuel pump, UJ's, CV's, suspension bushings, ect.....If its 4 cylinder count on doing head gasket next 50K.....


    However .....dont ever go buy one of these without going under and tapping all over rear of frame.......Dont count on body condition......
    or you deserve what u get......

    i just don't like NADA because you dont get to select any options. flat price based on model and standard trim only.
    but KBB said $8k for mine. these are the only 1st gens online for sale in a 500 mile radius. way more miles than mine and priced about the same as the KBB estimate
    upload_2022-1-6_20-23-22.jpg
    always got to consider what the truck is worth to you. if someone walked up and offered me $8k for my truck i'd laugh and shoo them away. baby toy is worth way more to me - owned him for too long and know everywhere he's been and everything that's been done to him since 27k miles. can't put a price on that.

    What?

    No way; I'd wager about 12k give or take the condition of the vehicle.

    Those you posted above are 5 lugs, and worth quite a bit less.

    No...your wrong.....at least for an 86 year old neighbor......

    I dont know where you live......freakin unbelievable negativity..

    ......but evidently you have to suck up on such high prices.....
    would think about moving.....the wild fires should be a hint.....

    If you watch these forums.....people score these all the time from family and friends for about 6~8K....
    Advertise ....goes up 3K.....add a dealer ....another 3K......

    Op has a chance for god to smile his way.......

    We live Texas/ Oklahoma area.....more trucks than people here....
    No used car shortages here......plenty tacos for sale in Dallas alone.....
    Were talkin a 98
