What would you pay? Advice needed

My mother always told me that if I don’t have anything nice to say, then don’t say it.

With that, I’d throw a $20 offer to the seller and walk if he doesn’t bite. That’s my honest opinion.

 

Haha...but really, it's so high just simple every day tasks you need a truck for will be a pain.

 

Your right. I agree.

 

I guess it depends on what you want.

If 2wd mall crawler with 20's is your thing, then go for it.

If you are looking for ride quality and/or an offroad truck, stay away from that thing.

As for price, I think it entirely depends on personal preference. If it were me, I would pay less for that truck than a stock truck because I don't like what has been done to it. If you like the mods that have been done to it, then it's fine to pay more than you would for stock. If your alternative is to buy a stock truck and then buy all the same mods yourself, this truck will save you money.

 

I agree with you Blackouts, in the end it depends on your choice.

 

Here’s what you do op. You like the truck, but play it off like you don’t; tell the seller the mods are dangerous and detract from the value of the truck. You’ll have to spend money to make it road worthy again. Talk him down to 10-15k. Say you’re doing him a favor and no one in their right mind would buy a lifted 2wd bro dozer like that. The lift kit components are worth more in scrap. It’s an automatic as well, so that takes about 10k off the value.

 

I think he already owns it.

 

The mods mean zero. Hell the mods probably lower the value of the truck in all honesty. Your probably looking at $18k in real life.

Me, I’d offer $15k for it since I’d probably have to repair a lot of the suspension and transmission components soon due to the lift. If you want a truck capable of a 7 inch lift, buy a Tundra. A 7 inch lift on a tacoma, especially a short bed tacoma looks off.

 

The 4x4 fanboys will be along shortly too knock it.

 

Look at this bait.

 

Very clean but I agree. I cannot find any practicality in the build. With or without 4x4.

 

look at the bright side...if you ever decide you hate the look or are tired of it, you have yourself a low mileage very clean 2013 you can take back to stock, or however else you want to build it. Yea, would cost some money but you do have that option. Or keep it as is, who cares what anyone here says about it.

 

The truth is the truth isnt it.Nothing wrong at all with 2 wheel drive,90 % of Tacoma owners never go off the road,so its sad when lots of guys down Pre Runners on this site.

 

Very nice truck with low miles,if you like the Mods done too it..

 

Honestly... you would have to pay me to take that truck.

Your lift and tires put severe strain on the engine and trans. You triple that strain by trying to tow with a truck that's lifted like that (if you want to sell this truck, don't post pics of you towing with it).

Also your odometer is off if you didn't recalibrate. Not sure what the true mileage of that truck is.

Most people are not going to want that truck, so that will severely limit your value.

Also your truck is not in excellent condition. I don't believe you that truck has no scratches or dents. You might not see them... but they are there. Only garage queen vehicles that have been restored and repainted are likely to be blemish free. Plus excellent condition doesn't apply because your have mods that decrease engine and transmission longevity... therefor it's not excellent condition anymore.

I think the truck out on the market is worth less than $20K.

If you find the perfect buyer, they may pay you more than KBB for the truck. It's finding the perfect buyer that matters. This could take years with some trucks. But that's the disadvantage to doing serious modifications.

 

Most guys sell their trucks,AFTER they have removed all the extras they put on their trucks (Return them too stock) because you usually don't get anything for the extras in a sale,and older buyers frown on trucks that look like a kid owned them.

 

Practicality is it’s got 35” tires. And I’d guess no rubbing

 

A lot of good points and information.

 

That's easy for someone to say that lives in the desert lol.
You need 4wd up here just to get around in the winter.
