ok.. so heres the scoop.. driving to a muffler shop with a buddy and see this parked in a lot off the road.. so i pull in and take a look.. i had seen this truck around town before.. so i get out and start lookin at it and seein what it was made of..

found out it was a procomp and a spacer, 22" rockstars, and 325/60/22 i believe.. (what is that by the way?.. 36's?)

also saw a train horn, and has black interior, and a flip out dvd and subs..

so as i was lookin at it, the guy came out and said, "ill sell it to you!".. and i said foreal?!?.. and he said ya so i asked how much and said $25,000..

and in my head i was like damn... thats a good price.. and then found out it only had 40,000 miles!!!.. at a local lifted truck sales lot, they were asking 25,000 for a 04, lifted with 70k miles!!.. and no train horn or stereo...

i also asked him if it had ever been off road, and he said its never seen mud or anyhting.. which is good for me.. i dunno if its regeared or not.. but thats something i could do..

so im realllllly intrested in gettin this.. even asked him if he would trade for my stang.. and he said no, i want to get into a superduty..

so i would prolly have to sell private and then give the money to him..

but this is only if i can convice my parents to let me have the truck while i live at home for about 6 months more..

the only negatives about this buy/truck...
-22's instead of 20's..
-me not living on my own yet, so i have the problem that my parents dont want a big truck in the drive way... (bull**** IMO)...

what do you guys think? and also, i asked him about his ball joints, and how long he has had that spacer on, and he said only 2 months.. and lastly, he has had it for sale for 2 months and no hits...

WHAT SHOULD I DO!!!!!

Make the decision that makes the most financial sense to you and your pocket book.

 

It's a nice truck! I wouldn't take everything off just to put it back on though.

What year is your Stang? Got some pics?
Know someone who may be interested!

 

get him down to 23 or 24 and i say its a good deal. A lot of nice mods and a very clean looking truck. Oh yeah dont get HD lights, leave em as is

 

Why is that a negative?

 

I mean its not really a negative about the 22's.. just not a whole lot of side wall.. i woud rather run 20's and 37's.. but i can live with 22's thats for sure..

and about the stang.. its an 07.. some info in my sig... and i can get you some pics.. they are some what old.. but the only real difference is the calipers are now color matched and not red.. and its got a hurst, and alot of other goodies..

spent about 3500-4000 on it.. with all the mods.. bought it new for 28,900

has about 14k miles

 

That is a sweet looking truck! I'd say do what you think would make you happy.

 

I dunno...if it were me, I'd concentrate on getting out of my parents house. That **** would drive me crazy.

 

Harder to find bigger tires and more expensive than a 20 inch rim tire would be.

 

Not if your rents are cool. Nothing beats living and eating for free man.

 

True - though, surely there's not an obscene amount of $$$ difference between 20" and 22" tires, correct? - but there's already tires on it, so....

 

Maybe so, but man...I couldn't do it. My parents are cool, but I moved out at 18 and never looked back. Plus, he's complaining that they won't let him park a large truck in their driveway (which is their right if it's their house).

The truck looks sweet though. I guess if it isn't going to cost you any extra than there isn't any reason not to do it.




edit: Sweet! I just lost the 'junior member' status, and it only took me 4 years!!! LOL

 

Actually, lots of things beat eating and renting for free

 

wow 30 posts in 4 years...

 

When your a broke college or high school kid there aint much, if anything, that beats that.
