Found this 2016 for $45k: thoughts?

It would cost you a couple thousand to make that truck NOT ugly as fuck

and what is up with that rats nest of wiring?!

edit:
I just cant get over how ugly that truck is with the red wheels and white tonneau
Its like sporty meets cholo low rider culture

 

There’s a buyer out there for practically anything. But, that guy has to find someone wanting that truck (access cab, manual, no premium options) AND want those same mods AND is willing to pay for it. I would imagine the pool of potential buyers to be fairly small.

I think that’s what the argument comes down to. Most buyers aren’t looking for modded vehicles and aren’t going to pay more for them, regardless of how tastefully done. So for the majority of buyers, it adds no value. But that doesn’t mean it won’t sell. I’m sure someone would eventually buy it, it just might take some time.

Of course, I see people clamoring to buy squatted 03-04 Silverados with massive wheels and rubber band tires, so who knows? lol

 

I totally agree with what you’ve said. All I’m saying though is there is still a market there and it’s what most sellers are in understanding of. And subtracting money for the value of mods added is to the one extreme end of the buyer spectrum. Like you said, most will tend toward mods not adding value, or barely any. I have seen sellers essentially add msrp of parts into their price and those are the vehicles that sit for months on end.

 

I’m not saying mods should be super additive to the price, I’m just saying subtracting 5k off a trucks asking if you tallied up that it has 5k in mods is ridiculous and the opposite extreme to paying full msrp for added mods or something.

Anyone listing a modded out vehicle should be of the understanding they are narrowing their market. That is for sure. Anyone looking to make a quick sale or appeal to the masses should be removing everything aftermarket and selling separate.

 

fucking ugly and useless to me. But, as we all know, there is a butt for every seat and a lot of suckers out there.

 

If the guy just wanted a gawd ugly truck with "luxury amenities" , he should have just bought a Ridgeline and saved $26k.

 

What are they smoking out in the 413?

 

How to tap out the HELOC

 

The guys who have the money and are interested will be looking for the mods THEY want. I'd pay a bit more for a decent high quality winch and a good install, pay [far] less for some shoddy spacer lift and troublesome suspension along with some cheap chinese ''bling'' plastered on it.

 

Haha its just under a hour and a half away from me. I am just wondering how there is $26,000 in parts and it looks like that?

 

This should be a lesson to some of the youngsters on TW....
"Just because it looks good to you..."

 

He has probably the worst mods you can buy for $26k. I don't even have that much in my truck and WAY more fucntional mods.

Why does he say it has $4k in welding for the MC LCA Fame gussets? I have those and is was only a couple hundred bucks

 

not worth it. The wiring under the hood looks like a fire hazard

 

Cause he's hoping you don't know that.

 

I like that its a Manual and the lockers in is great.

But first, I'm really having a hard time trying to figure out why it looks so off. I can get over the rims, that's an easy fix. The rest of it is throwing me off.
second, having a hard time believing someone opened those diffs and did not re gear while the lockers were being installed.

 

No.
1- that’s maybe 10k in mods
2. Look under the hood at the rats nest of wires. I assume that continues throughout the truck, and will cause longer term issues.
3. This truck is $35,000 (with minimal extra options) new at best

 

LOL!

Just because some sucker overpaid for his truck, doesn't mean that I'm going to reward him and bail him out by doing the same.

 

1st thought: lol
2nd thought: lol
Last thought: That poor Taco

 

and probably not as clean.

 

No... Just no.
