Tell me what you think of this truck. Carfax report says that its a 1 owner from Florida and was listed as a dealer vehicle. I had a vincheck ran and it was serviced at 15,400 miles for a new gauge cluster and a new radio. Pretty sharp truck IMO. Thinking about going to look at it after class on thursday.

looks nice, not sure about the rims and pin stripe though. but if you like it cool. i would look at pic #9 and look into the lower cubby pocket under the hvac controls. lower left corner looks like a hole is there. possibly from a brake controler but you never know. look into it. good luck

Good catch. New clister and new radio. Maybe a theft recovery vehicle?

Im not real fond of the wheels and pinstripe either. Also dont care much for the chrome handle molding. But all that stuff could be easily changed. Yeah it kinda makes me wonder, although my stock radio in my 03 quit on me one time and i had to get a new gauge cluster put in because the speedo went crazy. Dads truck has already had a gauge cluster as well. I didnt notice the hole. Maybe from a brake box or CB radio perhaps? The carfax report says that its a 1 owner vehicle. It was purchased in Florida and then sold at an auto auction. Now it says its listed as a dealer vehicle and up for sale in Carrollton Kentucky.

Nice truck minus the chrome handles. If you can get it for under $30K, then it would be a good deal. Have them fix that hole as part of the delivery condition, if you decide to buy it. Good luck.

That should have shown up on the Carfax, but who knows.

Also, its an LBZ, so that rocks.

I would try to talk them down to under 30K, then it would be a really good deal! :D

Well went and test drove the truck the other day. Very nice truck. Its in mint condition, and drives and rides perfectly. I really wanted to bring it home with me but they didnt much want to trade with me. They offered me $8500 for my truck:duh: I could sell it privately for $13000 at least. I offered them as much as my truck and $17000 cash but they wouldnt take it. They will absolutely NOT come off of the asking price. I even had a friend call them and see what they said about 28,500 cash. They said no way. The truck books for about $30,000. I dont really think thats an unfair price, but of course i wanna get as good of a deal as possible. Think $30,500 including tax title and license would be a fair deal?
