Do you think it's worth $13,000.00?

[Desk Jockey]

2004 Ford 52,000 miles, cab is in great shape, the box isn't too bad, has a ramp, the rear tires look like the came off a tractor, I'll have to get 4-rear tires. :x


Dan thinks it's a great deal and wants to buy it and put the 805 in it and rack it as a back up WDR truck.

$13,000.00 isn't bad but I don't feel like it's the bargain Dan thinks. He said new would be $30,000.00

OK deal, good deal, great deal what do you think?

 

[Ernie G]

In this economy, I think its just an OK-deal.

 

[Desk Jockey]

Thanks Ernie, that was my feeling too!

 

[Ernie G]

I think it also could be different in other areas of the country, but there are lots of deals out there in this economy.

 

[TimP]

offer 8-10,000. thats what i think.

 

[Desk Jockey]

Tim knowing they want the 13 would you low ball them or just pass and wait for a better deal?

 

[TimP]

I'd tell them what I'd pay and that way if they get no better offer they can come back to you. Unless you want it really bad and think it's worth it. Many people think their stuff is worth more than it really is.

 

[Guest]

Make your offer of 8-10 grand and if they don't take it, tell them to give you a call if they change their mind.

Don't need it at all but I do have the 805 on the floor, which is a waste.

It would come in handy when are swamped & for big losses or long extraction runs.

Found this one:

I better go try talk D out of it! :mrgreen:

 

[TimP]

I don't think at 13,000 it's a complete rip off. Just probably better deals out there if you look for them. Depends on how good the truck looks to you and if it's worth it to look around and if it's more along the lines of what you want. I think the newer cab over looks like a decent deal too. Very clean in the cab the box looks a little rough.

 

[Desk Jockey]

Yea, I emailed Dan and he was laughing at the same the box was in.

Better go price tires for this dog, maybe we can get him down enough to pay for them.

 

[XTREME1]

that is alot of money for that. I see trucks all over the place now. Is it a diesel or gas?

 

[Desk Jockey]

Gas

I ran it over it will will be $1,000.00 for 6-new tires.

Dan likes it, so we will counter with $12,000.00 and see if he will drop any.

I doubt it! :mrgreen:

 

[TimP]

I wouldn't get it with gas. A truck like that needs a diesel engine, plus they last so much longer. Just my opinion though.

 

[Desk Jockey]

My #4 WDR truck is a diesel Powerstroke and everyone bitches about how loud it is.

In fact it's the last to go out just because they say they can't even hear the music in the cab.

It is noisy, but they are spoiled too!

 

[Chris A]

They gear those gas motors down so much they still have pretty decent torque. A diesel would only make sense if you were really loading that sucker down

 

[joe harper]

Look on TRUCKMOUNTDEALS.COM ....look at unit #846 $13000.000


Tank the Vortex & sell for parts.....The put that BAD-ASS 805 in there......

 

[Ed]

no way I'd go over $10,000 for that. It looks like a nice truck, but I definitely think you can find a better deal. But, it sounds like Bro has his heart set on giving this guy $13,000!

 

[Bob Foster]

It's will be a pig on fuel. If you are going to use it a lot I would pass and go get one our favorite LCF.

 

[Goldenboy]

I just got a 2005 Chevy Box Truck with 45,000 miles for 7300.00.

[Warren Wallace]

I just bought a 06 with 32000 miles in mint shape for 14000

 

[Desk Jockey]

I think I need I need you guys looking for my truck, screw Dan! :wink:

 

[Chads]

no more than 4,000.00

 

[Able 1]

Make your offer of 8-10 grand and if they don't take it, tell them to give you a call if they change their mind.

This is what I would do also... Leave the ball in there court. Throw him a low ball and keep looking. IMO

 

[dealtimeman]

i just bought my 2007 ford lcf 13000 miles for 17500.00 and is still under warranty. will post pics soon.

 

[Guest]

Are you paying cash or getting finance?

I would never pay that much cash at one time.

Buy a new one!, yeah you have a monthly payment at $500 each month
for 5 years. you have the 13k in savings for almost three years.

 

[Desk Jockey]

Yea, that's more cash than I would want to pay at once unless it was just an unbelievable deal.

Plus I've already got 8-leases at different stages over the $500.00 and don't want or need another at this time.

I want one like Warren's and Waldo's, after all it's not one of the front line units.

It will sit the majority of the time, I just would like to capitalize on those opportunities when the present themselves.

Dan needs to stay on the golf course and away from our lease agent!

The lease agent is going to break me yet with his great deals on his repo's.
