Prices are going NUTS around here

1986, F-250 diesel 4 speed

That's like a $1000 truck...

And they're all like that. Spokane's prices went up by 50% since i last bought a truck, like last fall.

That's a ridiculous asking price, especially considering how terse his ad is. No mileage provided, no photos of the interior, no claims of receipts ("great maintenance" indeed).

Just because he's asking that much doesn't mean he's going to get it. And he's not.

Same if it was listed here. I don't know what you guys complain about where its salt free. Heck people ask this price for rusted out trucks here, well a 4x4 one this would seem okay.

Good to find out that money I've dumped into mine was actually a good investment!

even in Michigan that is a bit high.

he claims low miles yet does not say how many miles are on it. it's also 2wd. for the most part that is a huge deal killer.

The ad was posted on craigslist June 16 and it's still there so I guess it's safe to assume it hasn't sold. There is a difference between asking and selling prices.

...

Over here any $1000 truck is rusted out...

Even more unfortunately, any $3800 truck is also rusted out...

In fact, I don't even see trucks for sale over here, just rusted piles of scrap metal.

So,
West coast guys,
...be grateful for you have a plethora of rust free IDI gems at your disposal.

Back to the truck in question though... Do I still think that it is overpriced at $3800? Of course
