In good shape for its age but for its way over priced.

The idiot took a picture of his subs and amp. He likely spent more time on that retarded system rather than put time and money on IDI maintenance. PASS.

Yes that's the one. Link seems to work for me. Not sure what the issue is?

yea, it deff is overpriced, but from the pictures it looks extremely clean for something that's 30years old. Just looking for the opinion of others.

the big thing with these is you have to take his word on how many miles it has.
i can say mine only has 95,000 miles on it. but i know the odometer has rolled back to zero 4 times and it has 495,000 miles on it.

Yup, and even with a '92 or '93(not sure about the 94), once it hits 399,999.9 it rolls back to 300,000.0 - so you could easily have a 300,000 mile truck with 600K on it.

I always assume that an idi truck probably has 3-500K on it; that half the truck has been replaced at one time or another, and then look at how it looks, sounds and drives to determine actual value.

I mean, if the engine looks really clean underneath, it's probably been re-sealed at least somewhat recently; if it has the normal buildup of leaked oil and dirt, it's probably not recently been messed with... but on the other hand, it's probably not rusty.

$2500-3000 truck. All that "bling", and the seat looks like it was taken out of a '48 F1.

What gets me is every truck you see for sale has a long list of all these parts they've "recently" changed, I don't know anyone who changes parts just to help it sell, my guess is it was a pos when he got it so he dumped whatever it needed in it and came to the conclusion it was too slow...

Now he's trying to make a killer profit to go buy a Cummins/Duracrap because if he did buy it from the original owner he probably gave like 1500 for the thing, and he's maybe in it 3k, maybe

I'd start flipping vehicles if I could make 2k a pop off of rust buckets.....
