i say offer him 400 if thats where your comfortable, if he doesnt take it then leave your name and number and say give me a call if you want to sell it at 400. you have the power to walk away..

you would be surprised how many times people will change their mind when they see money leaving their pockets....

 

 

thank ya bone collector, thats prob what im gone do

 

.....sorry.........

How about.........

"Buy it or don't, meh."

Better? hahaha. Jk.... and I'm just trying to help him to think it all out... There's often a lot involved in ANY rig we get used... Let alone this level of project, right? And... I wished people had told me more often "what I was getting into", ya know? lol.

I agree with the 'offer the 400 and walk away'.... Works OFTEN for me in CL and other buys.

 

Update??

 

no update yet, still gotta call and offer the 4, been trying to find a way to go get it, buddys duramax is in the shop..

 

Hahah yeah man! Except Adam picked one up for 300? and drove it home.

 

But i say 300-400 go for it and hope it turns out only needing those few parts.

 

In va? It's a rust bucket. Put it out of it's misery. Don't waste your time.

 

LOOOOVE my AAA Premium... has paid for itself 2x over! 200 miles in tows a year, included. Maybe you could rent a Uhaul car dolly cheap enough? (been a while, probably not )

Best wishes, either way ya go, man

 

Im prob gone call tom evenin, and chef id rather put it on a trailer, have to haul it 2 and a half hours

 

Yeah, that's what I mean... It's a Uhaul thingymadoer that, well,.. Basically you pull this pin and the flatbed type platform can be angled down... Then you slowly pull up on it and it goes level. It's a Car Dolly of sorts.... Just keeps all 4 off the ground. but hey, if you have a trailer to use.. by all means, OF COURSE, use it!

 

Just like this, bud.......

No way in hell if you are strapped for cash.

Lord only knows how bad that thing could be.

And those wheels are hideous.

 

I'm telling you that thing is a rust bucket. Stay away from it unless you have lots of cash and only want it for a beater.

 

rust in nothing but front fenders..

 

I don't think so, post some pics of the under body.
