sizzle fo' shizzle,

i believe the dcabs only come in auto. someone correct me if im wrong.

pete:

personally i would never buy a vehicle that i could not personally test drive.

fyi: shipping a vehicle across the country is around $750 to $800 (cheap range). but again, this would be a moot point for me b/c i wouldnt buy a car that i didn't drive/inspect.

sorry to put a damper on your find.

bob

I doubt I'd go for it - for the same reasons

Looks ok to me.

After you take into consideration either transporting or driving it across the country, it may not make it that great of a deal IMO...

Doesn't seem all that special to me if it goes over 16 or 17K. Just my opinion.

There is absolutely no reason to buy a truck "all the way across the freaking country". Find one close by. There are better places to buy a car than E-bay.

Yes, the D-cabs only come in Auto.

Keep looking Peter! That will cost you $1K to get and bring home (more if the fuel prices keep going up)

I agree.

I looked for 2 years before I found an All Trac that was close (I was willing to drive 500 miles) but I found one 50 miles away.

Just be patient, and you will find "the one" sooner or later!

Dunno...
I've got my eye on one in AZ but unfortunately there's nothing I can do about it until things settle at work and I find a new place to live.

So many things to deal with


Just keeping my options open

Thanks dude!
Actually, the closer I get to getting things cleared up at work and my home situation figured out I may take a flight out there and take a look at this thing.
I may take you up on the offer

Unhappy

I recieved a vehicle I bought on ebay just last friday. Lets just say that the vehicle was no where near the condition the seller stated. I have spent over 30 hours working on a resolution to this problem. It has been a most unpleasant experience that I would wish on no one. Sadly, it has just begun and I don't know where it will end. DO NOT BUY A VEHICLE YOU HAVE NOT CHECKED OUT YOURSELF OR A TRUSTED FRIEND. This is especially true if the seller does not have extensive positive feedback selling vehicles. I wish someone had told me that 2 weeks ago.

Nice truck.. mileage and price is reasonable but best if you look for one locally.
Good luck in your hunt... YooOou can do it!

Yeah, I've heard those horror stories...

That keeps making me laugh!

Yeah, when I first looked at it - it was going for 9K and the Buy it Now price is still about 7K lower than KBB value so I was curious. The distance is definitely the deciding "no" factor.

Thanks for the input guys!
