Seems to be running strong

It looks like a very nice truck.Appears to be pretty clean and well taken care of (older person??)
I think it will make your daughter a great daily driver

I assume you did a 10,000 point inspection or ripped it apart in the guys yard

Yeah , Guy was prolly in his 50's - Everything worked out perfect -She liked it and she brought her half of the money when we looked at it - I didn't know she brought any money. After driving it and talking with the gent for awhile she looked in the glove box and found a bunch of papers clipped together.

That guy kept every oil change receipt in the glove box. Well she had her money and asked for my half

Hell, I didn't bring anything with me

Well, the guy agreed to hold it for her and didn't even take any money at that time. He was paid the next day.

So , it sounds really good. It's quiet.

Hahaha , no didn't ripp it apart in the guys drive ..... Hopfully , I won't need to do that for awhile

$3700... wow!!

Very good deal, especially for a 1st time driver!

Your daughter has very good taste in vehicles, that's a cherry looking truck!

If I'd run across that I'd have taken it before what I spent on mine.

Niiiice truck!!

it looks good. 3,700$ good deal. i find the best vehicles are found by accident, you are driving around and notice one, a friend mentions he saw a truck you might like etc...

So let me ask y'all this...

Out on my route someone has had what I believe is a '68 GTO, either deep deep blue or purple (I have a hard time telling between the two), for sale for like the last month. It's a freakin' gorgeous looking GTO. I've not stopped and looked/asked what he wants for it.

In my head I think $20K, tho no idea if it has mechanical issues.

It's such a beautiful car though. I've seen it being driven around here for the last 3 or 4 years.

What sounds right to y'all price wise for something like that?

I have to admit that I drool every time I drive by the thing.. lol..
