How is this 30 year old truck worth 30k?

It's not.

Because due to all the cunts ruling us, good trucks will never be made again.

I wouldnt part with my suburbans for even that much money.

How much new truck can you buy with that much.

Fucking nothing.

But the ladies and the non tool users will not understand.

Nothing will stop their satanic goals.

"Not a grow dozer"

Fuckin' California, man!

That's true. You need your head examined if you buy a 90k computerized bank loan with a 4 foot pickup bed.

They are really good quality, well made vehicles that would cost at least 150k, IF they were at all possible to be made in todays challenging climate control environment, and pollution etc.

In todays market, you can't make vehicles that well anymore until you get into the semi-truck range of products.

If I had alot of money, I would be buying up older vehicles rite now, to collect a fleet of them. They will pay for themselves over the next few decades when they still continue to work and be serviceable, parts-availability considered though, Don't buy something that you can't get parts for, if you do, Make sure its really reliable or buy two of them.

It will never sell for that.

You nailed it. New computer cars will be worthless in less than 10 years. I just bought an 03 Jetta TDI and I'm going through fixing little issues. Even this car is almost too new with too many gadgets to break. With the diesel it is my hope to get 1 million miles from this little car @ 48 MPG.

Should I be the guy who makes him an offer of 12k cash? No matter what it sounds like he will be pissed with the offers if he's so nuts to ask 30k.

Quite a bit of rust underneath

Most likely the seller isn't interested in selling the truck and gauging interest and hoping someone will fork the money out. The trucks made right now are garbage and super inflated in dealership prices while dealers are looking to buy up those old trucks.

I'm on my third VW Golf TDI and I am skeptical of that MPG claim. If true, you must drive like an old lady and coast down hills. LOL.

EVEN a 45K with a 4 foot bed.....WORTHLESS!

Any clunker over ten years old is worth 1k tops.

It's clean, customized, low mileage, well maintained and has about 200,000 more miles left in a Cummins diesel. It also doesn't have all the pollution junk in it. Trucks like this will be in very high demand in the coming years because you can run it on used oil, cooking oil, kerosene, transmission fluid, virtually anything with a viscosity higher than gasoline. He'll get that price.

Guilty on both counts. If people want me to accelerate like a jackrabbit, they can pay my gas bill. Until they, I press that gas pedal like I'm barefoot and its covered in thorns. I got the 5 spd so yes, freewheeling hills and up to stop signs is a must.

I use mine as work cars so I am pretty hard on them, so I don't get that mileage. It's almost impossible not to blow people off the line with these cars without even trying because they are so light and have so much torque. I get a lot of people who seem to think I want to race when in fact I don not. I wish I could tell them that it's not me...it's just what these cars do.

I was curious of purchasing a new truck but when I saw they now cost over $100K USD new, spending $6K USD to have our current truck refurbished was a bargain.

commiformia is banning diesel, people trying to get rid of their diesel vehicle at market price while they can i guess.

hm .

$30,000 doesn't go far nowadays. It doesn't come in any faster, but it don't go far.

But that truck didn't cost $30,000 in 1995, did it? I was high-end for the first generation Rams, and I never priced a Cummins, but I doubt if it was $25,000.

Maybe the seller thinks it has collector cachet. Seller is dreaming. What's KBB say? I think $12,000 would be very generous.

Exactly, a new suburban made with cheap Chyna parts will run you about $80k. I'll keep my 2003 with 230k miles on it.

Mine has the stock hub caps and I'm probably going to keep it looking like a sleeper. Don't want the attention. I am reading about all these performance upgrades (injectors, reprogramming ECM, new clutch to tame it) and the claim the mileage can stay the same if you drive it the same. Maybe later in the future. I am coming from a 4 cyl Honda manual and the turbo feels just like the vtec and that car only got 32 per gallon.

5 star for Fortuna link...Almost moved the family there years ago...God's country!

The truck...nah I'll keep my 89 F-150...70,000 orig mi...paid $3500 a year ago

It's a 12 valve. If you know, you know.

It's not now but will be eventually when tou cannot get a new car without a Breathalyzer to start it or just any gas powered car.

I should go drive my old truck
