Some of you guys know I keep a project/beater or two on the side next to my Fiesta. Always great to have a car you don't feel bad about taking a sawzall to. In the last year or so I think I've sold 5 cars for fun, not really the money but just something to do that I love, getting to experience other cars. From my Prelude to my Cooper S to my first G1 Insight, all were bought, fixed, enjoyed, then sold at the right time. Since the new year I've also done a '04 Maxima and an '09 G8 GT.
Yeah, so 5 cars in the last year. Cumulative net profit on all is about $8000. Yahoo!
Anyhow long story short we're soon going to be getting a pop up camper and along with that investment we want an affordable truck that can pull the pop up but also serve as an all-around camping and gardening/supply vehicle, which I need often. A friend is selling his truck and I'm seriously thinking of buying it.
I'd appreciate if I had a few opinions on what it's worth. Book value only says so much because the market value on these types of trucks is much different. I'm usually good on valuing cars but the truck market is a whole other game. So take a stab and tell me what you think if you have time.
THANKS...
Specs:
2004 Dodge truck 1500
2WD
8' extended bed
4.7L V8
5 speed
Seats 6, this thing is huge
"ST" trim = bare bones, vinyl floor, roll up windows (funny what "ST" trim level means to different automakers...)
Has a few scratches but otherwise extremely clean
Everything works, cold A/C, etc., has a radio, that's about it
Has four new Yoko tires (2,000 miles on them)
Bedliner and hitch
And the kicker....37,001 miles
Truck owned by old guy who barely used it. I've driven it a good bit, it's super smooth and well maintained. Just rarely driven by the owner. Not rotting from age or anything, Georgia car all it's life, one owner. Paint still shines.
OK so tell me what you guys think this thing is worth, pretend you're selling it not buying it.
THANKS!
