I was thinking about going to see this truck. Just want some feedback on how you like it, and how far down I should negotiate.
Thanks for any feedback guys.

104K on the odometer...From the information and looking at the condition of the truck in my opinion the truck is priced just about right.
32" don't totally tax a 22re like 33's would. I would not lowball the guy too bad. Anything around 2K would be a great deal on it...
only disclaimer would be the potential rusty frame/underside ..Salt on the roads, one reason I am glad I don't live in NY anymore.

Truck would be perfect to haul your KTM around in..
Good luck!

Thanks, Thats the reason Im getting a pickup, need to haul my bike to the mx tracks. I love my runner, but I cant stand taking the top off constantly, and the soft tops are like a gazillion bucks, plus I need something to haul my tools in.

I guess I just payed way to much for my 91 22re with 116 on the clock, and not knowing it had a bad motor, 3400 was wayy to much.
but I dont think you should try and lowball him, he could get such a better deal if the pictures do it justice

Figure out what you want to offer before you get there. When you show up pull out a fat wad of 100 dollar bills. Then you're negotiating. Cash speaks MUCH louder than a come back with the money offer. Especially since he is moving and needs to sell it quickly.

I don't get this feeling often, but I do with this truck. Possibly because the seller didn't miss-spell every second word.

Couple questions:
  1. when was the timing chain last done
  2. water and oil pump done as well?
  3. is it properly geared with 4.88s (if not, factor $400 into your budget)
  4. good paint job? nothing worse than rust showing its ugly face through a new paint job
