Also if it actual military you can get it cheaper than that but you would have to put some work into it. Now a couple of guys that bought old surplus vehicles and got them cheap but to bring it up to spec cost them a extra 10 g's. These where duece and a half and a old cheap.

Not no 4 g's.

Yeah, 4 is too much... it's a 23 year old vehicle... it looks like it's in good shape, it's got newish tires that I wouldn't have to replace and if it runs good, it looks like a nice truck. Wouldn't take much to make it a real nice camping/beach/towing truck esp. since it has that diesel. I'm just wondering if anyone on here might know a good value for it.

I'd offer 2k cash, but I wouldn't pay more than 3k. Remember it's an older 4X4, it's probably had the poo beat out of it. Crawl underneath and look for things like excessive rust (indicates it's been through deep water), things bent, and make sure the body panels line up correctly. Carfax is nice, but it only knows what's been reported.

Thanks 88... that's along the lines of what I was thinking...

I looked underneath it yesterday... it looks to be in good shape for a vehicle of that age.

No problem, there's an off chance that it was owned by a collector, but more than likely it was a hunting vehicle.

My first truck was an 83 with the 6.2.

Truely a badass truck, wish I had it back.

I sold mine for 1,500, I would probably pay 3K if I saw one that was in good shape..

P.S. it goes 0-60 in about a week and a half.

Yeah, I figured with the diesel it would be slow... wouldn't be used as a dragster though, just in the mud and on the beach... :D

the carfax should tell you where the dealer got it from. In general a 4k vehicle from a dealer usually doesent have much markup..also when buying from a dealer you must consider the doc fee and the fact that you'll have to pay sales tax up front.its highly likely the doc fee if they have one will add at least an additional 10 perecent to your purchase price

I doubt he would take $2k for it. If you're out in the country where lots of country boys would salivate over it then while it may not be worth that to you, it would to someone else. Especially if he has on the lot financing......the dealer has a right to ask whatever he wants for it.

If you have cash you could probably offer him $3000 and go from there, he probably won't lower the price a whole lot unless it has sat for awhile.

If I were the dealer I'd accentuate the fact that it's a diesel engine with only 82k and these engines last 300k or longer, etc.

Yeah, I've seen it there for about 3 weeks, plus he's got the other ones pretty much just like it.

I'm gonna try and go by there tomorrow and talk to him...

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
