This ones nice too but you can tell a kid owns it and it was probably beat on. plus he mainly wants trades. I emailed him about selling it for cash but he hasnt responded

I dont know what to think about this one. i know there are a few dents but $3900 for an '05? seems a little sketchy/ plus they wont give me any info by email, only on the phone.

I think this is the best choice for me. Its pretty much exactly what i want. Its been on there for a few weeks so that should help bring the price down a bit. I think $4500 would be reasonable. thoughts?

And then theres this one. I wouldnt mind having a new engine, but its a bit high on the price end for me, and a little far away. Id try to get it for $5000 or so I think. Not a fan of the tan interior but i can only be so picky

Just found this one. A little pricey but I want it. Does $5000 sound reasonable to you guys?

they're all autos, unless you mean the 5 speed auto? I know 5 speeds are better but i dont know know to drive one yet. There will be one in my future, but not now.

Man i need a new truck, im having withdrawal:bawling:
 
added another one. Let me know what you think guys
 
I like the second one best. The kid (and you are right, its def. a kid trying to get rid of it) hasn't figured out that he isn't getting what he wants in trade for that truck. I don't know anyone who would give in a camaro for that truck.
 
i would go for this one, the last one u posted
3n83k73p45Q25P65S6a52c4cd342e4b5b1161.jpg


looks really clean and well kept.
 
cleans what im going for. i figure if i have a clean truck and i keep it that way, i wont mind replacing the engine when the time comes. its a hell of a lot cheaper than buying a new truck
 
ohh yeah!
i wont mind to replace some stuff to a truck to keep it running fine if its in good condition and clean, well in fact i dont mind cuz i do it lol, and i sleep ok every night, not thinking how im gonna do to cover next months payment.
 
alright guys so the last one, how much do you think i'll be able to get the price down realistically? Im gonna try for it but if i cant get it down to at least $5500 then im gonna try for the 4th one, a few more miles but alot less $$$. thanks
 
print out the KBB pricing and whoever else is pricing used trucks and take those numbers with you. that does seem like a more than premium price for an 11 year old truck, clean as it is.

IIRC its actually a tad under blue book for private party, and this is at a dealer. But I cant see it selling for that much.

nevermind, must've been another truck i looked at. here are the numbers:

private party
excellent- $6125
good- $5725

Retail
$7600

Trade in
excellent- $4275
good- $3950

Should i even look at retail since it is from a used car lot, or should I ignore it? This is only my second time buying a vehicle so im not too sure how it all works. thanks for the help guys

pics of the 4th one you listed would be nice for sure.

I wish i had pics too, I still need to check it out. and theres no email listed, only a phone number:annoyed: Buttt its sounds good:dunno:

wait a second...

I just checked kbb again and got $6655 private party good. crap.
 
I like the last one too but, DANG!! - I ran it on Edmunds in "Outstanding Condition" for my zip and private party is $3468, Dealer $4547. How could a 10+ year old vehicle cost more in the north with winter salt on the roads than down here in TX? Makey no sense.
