not horrible, not the best. kinda right in the middle. milelage isnt bad, dont like western, do some research as to what simular trucks are listed at.

He's a little high, but not bad. Kelly Blue Book for a truck in this condition, private party, is 6275 counting the plow. Keep in mind plow trucks are generally beat mercilessly, but he's not bad out of line on price.

Well, i have been on the phone all day with the dealer. He's located about 3.5 hours away from me, and we were going to go look at the truck Tuesday, but seconds before i put a deposit on the truck, it sold. I've never been that pissed off before.....

Would you really drive that far to buy a truck? No hard feelings but i would only do if it was a screaming deal and i knew everything was fine or exactly what the description said. The chance of me doing that though are very low.

You bet we would. There aren't many deals like that around here, a lot of people want $10k for a 95-98 K2500 w/ over 100k miles, and w/o a plow.I would have skipped school Tuesday, and my dad, a friend of ours, and myself would have driven up there, looked/test drove the truck, and then most likely made the purchase.

The only downside is that i don't get my drivers permit until Feb. but grandma could still drive it and i would have the bed space, and we wouldn't have to switch car's w/ grandma so we can get the Jeep. Then next year i could drive.... with my permit of course.But i'm proboably just going to wait until next summer, but keep a close eye on the classifieds until then.-Mitch-

My guess is that if you were on the phone all day tring to beat him up on the price, he probably just told you that so he didn't have to deal with you. Just sounds too fishy.

Just bustin your balls. Buy a FORD.

That was a nice truck. I actually thought the price wasn't too bad but Kelly blue book is pretty good. Dealers can be jerks, you'll find another one.

It wasn't about the price. It was about the vehicle specs. and about arrangements for us both to meet (being he is 3.5 hours away from me).

Price wasn't the concern, it was acting fast and trying to get the deposit on the vehicle, then getting up there to look at it.

That looks exactly like one of the municipal trucks from town here-

That is our trucks twin except we have a meyer plow and our 98 K2500 has 150,000 miles on it. Great truck for the most part. Bad mileage of around 6mpg with the trailer behind it. Been the best truck we have ever owned but then again our previous trucks were fords...................

That was a nice truck, its a shame you missed it. I had a 1994, manual trans., with 238k on the clock. I absolutely loved that truck and still do. I sold it to a friend and once again its up for sale, (he found anohter project). THat guys price wasnt too bad considering mine sold for $3k!!
