2 WHEEL DRIVE
NEW BRAKES
$5,000 IN NEW SUSPENSION WORK - HAVE RECEIPTS
This poor thing is languishing among classics and high end luxury and euro cars..... they took it in on trade.... who'da guessed?
It looks A LOT better in the pics than in person...... guess the secret is to leave it wet and take the pics immediately......
Poor thing has severely sunburned, peeling paint, a badly dented roof, rusty spots where a bed liner had held debris for years, and the shadows of "sporTruck" decals along the sides. The interior wreaks of cigarettes...... It's also a 4 cyl.
I asked about the "$5,000" in receipts..... The sales guy showed me the receipts, about $1,400 in new parts (full brakes, brake lines, tires, full exhaust, tune up, gaskets, steering parts, steering box.) and the rest....... all labor!
The shop in Parker that did the work should be ashamed. Replace a steering box, $154..... $435 in labor???? The owner got raped...... bad.
I told the sales guy, it was an $800 truck at best. I walked. The dealership owner poked his head out of his office and said "What can I do to get you to buy that sorry little truck today?" I laughed and said "$800 O.T.D. no more." He said...... "I'd love to. I told them not to pay more than $500 for it in trade.... those idiots really thought it was special. Sorry, can't take $800."
Must have riled up the owner...... priced just dropped to $1,777. :laugh:
