The Dodge was my Nabors and he drove it for 4 years and all he did to it was a new radiator. James is a funny fellow once he is done with a vehicle he is done and prices them to move. I bought my Jeep from him 4 years ago for 1200$ the truck was 1300$.
I carried it to my mechanic and he said it was in good shape but needed an engine flush their bad to gunk up, advised a transmission fluid change and a cooler be added since I bought it to haul with. Other than that he said it was good to go.
This truck was bought just to haul my vending stand and camper. I plan on keeping my jeep and Chevy truck but something has to go so I will be selling my 96 Ford Ranger . Hopefully it will bring 11 or 12 hundred it has been a good toy truck but I need a tool that can do work and that's a full size truck.
Congrats!
ReplyDeletethanks Phil. Its not as new as I wanted but looks and drives good. For what I gave I am pleased.
DeleteSounds like you got a truck that will work for you. I'd change all the fluids, weak hoses and belts and you should be good to go.
ReplyDeleteMike all the fluids will be getting changed soon .The belts and hoses were replace last summer. We use the same mechanic.
DeleteThat's a good deal. I wish I could find vehicles here in decent shape for those prices.
ReplyDeleteHarry prices have been falling a little this summer on 10+ year old vehicles' around here. I have a simple formula for used cars. Will it give 20 miles+ per dollar spent. I don't like paying more than 5 cents a mile vehicle cost.
