Thinking a good idea if csn find pickuo for under or $500 about that hopefully not need spend much on repairs , to use as road trapping pickuo when roads are good, save pickup drive now instead all abuse. Anyone know any good online site. In area?
a friend of mine would say any vehicle sitting in a drive way without tags is for sale , go up tot he door and ask , then make and offer.
500 is mighty low for anything you can drive away
my son just bought a 1988 S10 for 300 from a friends dad it had sat 2 years in a field
it didn't come with a drivers door
2 of 4 tires bald
the key was stuck in the ignition in the on position
no head liner
rusted out outside of the bed but the inside looks great as it had a topper on it it's whole life
directional not working
had a switch under the grill to turn off the battery so that it wouldn't run the battery down with the key in the on position
bad battery
and it had about 6 gallons of bad gas in it
washer fluid didn't work
drain the gas and put new gas in did that and got it running before he bought it
45 for a junk yard door
20 for a new key cyclinder
10 for the tool to replace the key cyclinder and fix the directional
65 for a new battery
12 for new spark plugs
10 for tube to preheat the intake air
a bunch of work to clean and fix
tires will be about 80 each mounted and balanced he is
322 with what I could remember there were a few more incidentals like electrical contact cleaner and shop supplies ect
ah and registration is 160 +tax and fees cam out to 210
300 truck
322 parts
210 registration
= 832 for a truck he can drive back and forth to work
I think he got a deal at 300 most people would have probably wanted 500 for that
