Why do people think their shit is worth it's weight in gold?
So, obviously gas is getting stupid high. Well, I've been wanting another mini truck for a long time now.
Add that to the fact that one of the local state troopers (not the one in my sig), decided that he needed the tags off my truck more than I did. So, I haven't been driving it. I've been driving my grandmother's '03 LeSabre we got when she passed away. Well, since it's kind of the "extra" car, my dad doesn't want me putting the miles on it and wants me out of it. So, long story short, I need to either put tags back on my truck, or finally get me a cheap mini truck beater. Yes, it has to be a truck. Now, on to my rant. Why in the FUCK do people think their shit is made of gold? Seriously? Look at this shit. http://fredericksburg.craigslist.org...279630640.html http://fredericksburg.craigslist.org...279676130.html Those are just the two finest gems I could find. I'm not fucking paying $2k-$3K for your busted ass 20 year old ride. Now, the S10 is clean.... but still. $2500? No. Just no. What happened to the days of a $500 beater truck? |

He said mini truck foo lollllll
|
Jeep Comanche? :happy:
|
take a chainsaw to it one night and tell them they wont get 2k for that scrap :security:
|
98 up rangers are cheap and IFS vs the older junk twin torsion beam.... 4 banger and a 5 speed
|
Jesus, neither of those looks remotely close to being worth what those two people are asking. Shits ridiculous.

The S-10 qualifies too but the 2.2 is known for head gasket failure. The Ford 4 banger lasts forever, along with the rest of the truck. Quote:

Either market value has risen since the last time I checked or it's different there than it is here. |

The yellow Mazda is a prime example. That truck is worth $500. The passenger side bedside is caved in. The motor smokes, from what he says is the rings, but it's probably the valve seals (no big deal). And who knows what else has been molested on that thing... Quote:
I'm not even really looking to lower it. I just want something better on gas to beat around in and carry my 4 wheeler or other junk around town. For long trips I have the fullsize. Quote:
---------- Post added at 10:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:32 AM ---------- Here's another good example.... 386K miles, $5500. Are you serious? It's clean, it's 4wd, it's not a mini. Ok... I'd pay about $1500 for it considering the mileage. BUT $5500??!! WTF is wrong with people? http://fredericksburg.craigslist.org...283792461.html |
its a toyota, the mounts are carved from elifant(sp) tusks and the floor mats are made of babby seal hides, plus they are assembled by leprichans (or wee-people).

i'd definately look for an early 90's ranger with the indestructable SOHC 2.3 and the mazda 5 speed. The GM ratards always overvalue their stuff
|
That Toy Yoda is priced 10x as much as it's worth. That's nucking futs. Anyway don't expect great fuel economy, it's about as heavy as those T100s could get...a little bigger and heavier than a 4.0 4x4 slushbox Ranger, PLUS it's lifted. At least it's missing some weight from the bumper and tailgate.
Anyway you can cut Toyota right out of your search, market value is inflated by the logo. |

Pretty much been sticking to S10, Mazda, Nissan, and Rangers. Something will turn up eventually. |
toyota = paying 3x the price of a normal minitruck for a rust-prone POS with overpriced engine parts
|
I can buy a new 2011 Harley Sportster for 3k more than the price of a used 2002 :roflmao:

2.5 s10 cant be killed
|
|
