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...

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
