Agreed. I'll be selling the running boards, tonnaeu cover, and probably the the grill.

The cover is a very nice setup if anyone is interested, but I don't want it.

Really I like the grille and the running boards would be nice if it had a lift my buddy uses his as running boards on his lifted ram but also serve as rock guards lol

Do you guys think $6,750 is a good deal for her? I'll have to put tires on in the near future but supposedly its good to go otherwise and in great condition.

Quad cabs tend to bring quite a premium though, right? That's why I thought it was a good enough deal.

Amazing what KBB/NADA says about these things. I recall my old Dakota selling new in 2001 for $23k (about 5k off retail), and traded in 2005 with only 30k for $17k. As I will be taking this truck to my local drive in regularly (just like I did with my old one) the tonneau cover has to come off. Its a solid one that opens up 2/3s from the back like a normal one, and has 2 side opening ones closest to the cab, similar to a tool box.

Any ideas how much to price that? Shipping would be out of the question, so I guess I'd put it on craigslist locally.

How the heck did you get a truck more than 70% off retail? That's hard to believe unless it had serious paint, body or mechanical issues. I'm sure you're leaving out some vital detail to make yourself look good.

A friend of mine got a non-runner 2000 4.7 QC sport with barely 100k on it for $3,000.
