I wouldnt pay 300 bucks for that thing...Let him try and sell it for the price he wants, he will stop trying after people openly laugh at him.

Also as a mechanic I wouldnt buy a dodge :p

sounds like something you would find in the junkyard.

OntDOn't listen and don't worry about it. Not your issue.

[chucked]

Yea I run into this a lot buying stuff that needs work to fix and flip, some people think their junk is worth top dollar. Some people can't be convinced either.

if he can get 2300 out of it, why not let him? its worth trying.

[destey]

yep. he'll realize one day if he actually wants to sell it he'll ask a price people are willing to pay. until then he can live in his fantasy world.

just like how I saw a guy on craigslist asking $2800 for a pretty much stock 2003 z400.

But then you see a 1999 Yamaha SRX700 for $1000 and you realize there's two ends of the spectrum!

[flammable]

are u saying 1000 for the yamaha is low? cuz i think thts anaverage price for that. around here u could swing 800 maybe 750 for a 99 vmax

Its not your truck, your money nor your time. What do ya care so much?:confused:
