Thinking about selling my 1st gen..

1stgenrnrdude · 02-07-2007, 12:09 PM

THREW A ROD, FOR SALE FOR PARTS

It has 268,000 miles on it, the top half of the truck is factory white, and the bottom half is matte black, painted by me.It is stock, except for 31X10.50 R15 BFG A/T's mounted on stock steel wheels, painted black. It runs strong, and is a strong running truck and i love it to death, i am thinking of selling it because i really want a car and my dad said i cannot have both

...

THE GOOD:
*fairly new clutch
*New Front shocks
*New radiator
*New front passenger brake caliper
*New Clutch master cylinder
*comes with sony headunit(not installed)
*comes with black nerf bars(not installed)

THE BAD: rust, it has it in the normal places, below the passenger door, behind the passenger rear fender, and on the rear window trim piece.. haha tape is covering up the rust on the fender and below the door. the bottom half of the truck is paint matte black, by me

*rear window does not roll down
*no radio installed..
*needs new front passenger locking hub
*no rear winsheild wiper
*needs new weather stripping in windows
*slightly miss fires, not badly, i still drive it daily with no problems, i think the plugs are fouled out..
*gas gauge does not work, however fuel light does come on when you have about 40 miles or so left on the tank..
More pictures to come, i am just using the ones on my computer for now. please dont hesitate to ask questions, it is located in northern virginia.
VIN:JT4RN62D9J0189664

Backed up into a road sign..

keithguts · 02-07-2007, 03:24 PM

price?

1stgenrnrdude · 02-07-2007, 04:51 PM

thats kinda what i was testing, but i was thinking around 1200ish, considering i bought it for 1500.. im still not for sure selling it now, i was just wondering if anyone on here would be interested.. and if so i could see selling it soon

pruney81 · 02-07-2007, 06:30 PM

If that was mine I'd post it on Ebay, I bet you might get more than 1200 for it

1stgenrnrdude · 02-07-2007, 07:08 PM

ok thanks ill try that, im still not quite ready to sell it yet, im just kinda testing it out.. but if the right offer comes along, i could see selling it pretty soon..

1stgenrnrdude · 02-09-2007, 07:28 PM

still thinking about selling it..

pruney81 · 02-10-2007, 09:26 PM

Is there anything wrong with it? Does it use oil, underpowered, is the tranny noisy? You know things of that nature.

1stgenrnrdude · 02-11-2007, 11:56 AM

i was told it needs a new hub/spindle bearing on front pass. wheel. misfires, slightly, i think its either timing or spark plugs.. everything else is fine, has a lot of torque and runs great. i love it to death i just want something newer and am looking for a car..

1stgenrnrdude · 02-13-2007, 06:32 AM

and the valves are a little noisey, but i had them looked at and they are adjusted to where they need to be...

Chapman88SR5 · 02-13-2007, 07:04 AM

Trust me you don't want a car. I have gone through the same thing, I wanted to sell mine for a small little sporty car. Worst idea I had ever thought up in my head. A truck you can have fun with anytime in the year. A car you can only have fun with in the summer depending on how much snow you get (and if you have AWD or not). Plus you own one rare (and getting rarer) vehicle! Why would you want to miss the opportunity of owning it?

1stgenrnrdude · 02-13-2007, 07:24 AM

yeah, i know, but my dad has one that never gets driven, except by me, so its not like im not gonna have a truck.. and im still not 100% sure gonna sell it.. im kinda looking at a B20 integra, for those of you who know what that is, and im still iffy about it.. i need to do a little more research on it though..

Chapman88SR5 · 02-13-2007, 07:33 AM

actually, now that im thinking about it, i love your truck, how much did it cost to do all that stuff to your truck? cuz mine is pretty much in the same boat as yours was before you did everything..

I sold my Pathfinder a few years ago to get a BMW 635csi... Yeah, big mistake. I ended up driving my parents' Suburban much more than the Bimmer. I will get a car again sometime but only if I can afford to keep the truck too. Until then I will put up with the quirks of driving a 20 year old offroaded truck

1stgenrnrdude · 02-13-2007, 09:19 AM

yeah i kno right.lol

Chapman88SR5 · 02-13-2007, 10:12 AM

The paint is just rustoleum spray paint, rims are from 4wp you can get them for $235 from them, tires are from tirerack.com, everything I have done is pretty cheap (besides the engine replacement).

1stgenrnrdude · 02-13-2007, 10:24 AM

nice, how much was the herculiner? and whered you get it from?

Chapman88SR5 · 02-13-2007, 11:37 AM

well i got it on sale but usually its some where around $50

1989toy4wd · 02-13-2007, 12:06 PM

Im going to keep my truck when I get another car for graduation, its going to to get the garage and my moms 02 honda gets the driveway (kind of messed up right!!) I just want something that can be more reliable and not burn a 1/2 quart of oil every 3 days. I dont want to have to spend money on another vehicle when I am going to school for automotive technology!!

1stgenrnrdude · 02-14-2007, 11:04 AM

yeah, im not sure still my cousins friend is going to really check it out for me.. ill probably go off that..

WFO · 02-16-2007, 06:41 AM

corvettelvr73 · 02-16-2007, 06:48 AM
