Default Should I Do This Trade??

This is my truck
http://delaware.craigslist.org/cto/3038325253.html

This is the truck of the guy that wants to trade with me...
http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/cto/3044360543.html

I don't want a 4x4 cause i think going offroad just breaks Shi+ and costs me money i don't have. Also this truck gets 20mpg way better than my 13. Is This a good deal on my end?

His and some cash...... seems like it is what you are looking for.

I am curious why he is only asking 4K though, with a rebuilt motor.....

Straight up trade.... IDK why hes asking so little but when i go and check it out if its not nice enough i wont do it. I like the look of it and with a little 3'' lift and some 33's it can be niceer

It's only a six though..... so the bigger tires are going to have even more of an impact than on your truck.

i think he would be getting a better deal if you where to do a straight up trade. i would be wondering why he had to do a rebuild with so few miles on the truck? maybe he just got a junkyard engine and stuck it in there and called it rebuilt.

Don't do it. You have a nice truck. There is nothing special about that stripper model 03 with a v6. Hold on to what you got, get a job that can pay for gas, and if you don't wanna go wheelin' anymore, don't go wheelin.

exactly!

I wouldn't give up 4x4 in a full size truck. never know when you will need it...like SNOW...maybe you gotta drive through some wet grass or loose gravel and your truck would get stuck without 4x4....

And 20mpg....I'm calling bull spit!

And you are askg 5K he is asking 4K and he wants even trade, so he wins by 1K? What is he smoking? Yours has adds, moer options, etc. If you do it, make him pony up some cash!
