Very nice 80, but 15K?

Exactly what I'm looking for just now, but is this a realistic price I'm looking at? Seen expedition prepped ones in the past for about that.

 

[Shayne]

I seen it on there a week ago and laughed at the price that's why i never posted it .

 

[Derek]

What would a realistic price be for it then?

[Derek]

Excellent, I'll over him 6k and see what his response is

 

[Shayne]

To be honest i would like it myself and i did mull it over for an hour , but another black 80 in very good condition with about 160k on the clock sold for about 6 grand a few months back and is mileage really that important on a truck known for being indestructible . Age will perish rubber other bits even if its not driven so 15 grand and then you start repairing and modifying ££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££

What a drongo. £15K - mental. It would need to be delivery mileage only and stored in a vacuum for that. What a cock. Maybe if it was a better advert with some actual facts in there you might say it was worth looking at for strong money, but I just hope he never sells it as reward for being such a knob.

OK low miles and service history, plus it seems to have a special panel for opening and closing the windows (wtf?) but if you want double what it's worth then you'd better have a first rate advert. I'd be more interested without the lift kit. Unadulterated and in 100% condition would be better than some random lift and a poxy roof rack.

Nice looking thing, but stupid money. He's convinced it's worth £15k. Is £6k fair, well it depends if you are buying or selling. If you snagged it for £6 I'd say well done. Actually a lot of car for the money - as long as it checks out. If I were selling it though I'd want maybe £8k. Maybe that means £7k would be fair

 

[Derek]

Mechanicaly I'm not put off by mileage, but id love a low mileage clean body to spray wax oil in every cavity and preserve it, but then again would be a shame to take it down a green lane! Might email him tomorrow and see if hes still adamant it's a 15k truck

 

[Derek]

My favourite photo is the one of the handbrake and drivers door card, I mean who wants a photo of a clean chassis

 

[Chris]

Go for it. I'd be interested to know why he thinks it's worth twice the market price.

 

[Chris]

Why have a std cruiser like that with no jiggery but then fit a lift kit and 35's? It makes no sense. Has he re geared the diffs? What was going on in his head.

 

[Gary820]

If it sells for 15k I'm selling mine, quick advert, it's black and done 80k should suffice lol.

 

[Towpack]

Looks like the sale has been ended. Can't really blame a seller for trying for the best price but hopelessly optimistic IMO. Not even a higher specced VX vehicle.

 

[Derek]

Right so I emailed him

Hi there. Noticed the advert is about to finish, are you going to re-list with a lower price? Had a chat with a few specialists and they claim yours is worth about 6-8k.

Let me know if there s any negotiation on price.

Thanks, Derek

To be honest I'd have just told you to p!ss off and stop dreaming if you sent me that email.
