I assume you were looking at the "suggested retail value" That is not what you get. Thats what the dealer will sell the truck for around. The trade in value is 2500. If your selling it on here, we are private property value. Just wanted to set that straight for ya.
I ran the numbers myself, and I concur with your estimates, pcfixerpro.

EDIT: Like Cereal Killer said, if anyone offers you $4500 or anywhere near it, run with it.

Please take this as constructive criticism and nothing more, but you've been told many times that your price is too high. You've posted in here trying to sell your truck before, you tried to sell on ebay and it should be obvious that... if no one was interested, your price is high. Lets get some more accurate figures in here now. For the blue book value, I find you to be just over 1500 off. you can verify here and enter the zip code 74502. I went off of good condition value because your dash... well, i wouldn't be able to live with that (color mismatch). You said yourself scratches and a dent in your paint etc... The paint job looks nice, but its almost the value of the truck itself. I know you have been wanting to get rid of it for a long time now, but... I don't see that happening till you come down to a reasonable cost for a 2WD

Link to ebay for more pictures / reference purposes




I wish you the best with your continued sale attempts.

Well Im not arguing with you but i bought the truck for $5500 and still owe $1500 on payments. and i know i have to go by the figures of what the truck is really worth. If the truck was free and clear i would sell it pretty cheap (which would be in may) and at that time $5500 i would take which is somewhat reasonable... But since ive had the tranny rebuilt, A new COMPLETE motor put it (56k on motor as of now), and everything else im just too far in debt. $4500 would be stabbing me in the gut. Ive watched STOCK dodges go on ebay ranging from $5000-10,000! from 93-99. Its just whos looking and whose buying.

a brand new motor in a truck will make some people not want to buy it. I got my truck with a new motor in it for 3 grand. Your price is wayyyy to high. its not a diesel, which holds their resale value fairly well. Looks like your stuck with the truck if your continuing to make payments on it.

That is true, but with that said it, was replaced with a used motor.

The absolute best is $6500 and thats with the stock rims included, electric fans, and Brand new 4:10 gears included. I guess its still a tad bit high but i just bought a 2001 cobra and i need to cut the payment down.

You're trying to talk your wife out ofa jeep with a stickshift? Jesus dude hand her over to someone who appreciates her

j/k, butit's usually the woman who tries to make the guyget rid oftheircool ****. What part of the world you from? I might have to check it out
LOL.

Its not a stick shift. I already talked her out of getting a stick once. She liked the Jeep so much (its a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4x4 with the I6) she gave up the stick for it but now wants to see about going back. And now she wants to look at the Kia SUVs because they come in sticks and that was her very first car, a little Rio. [sm=smiley5.gif] God help me!



aah man the sorrentos rule, i work at a kia dealership, i love the 5spd sorrento, hold out, kia is comming out with a v8 suv man. it should be out end of 08, i think it will be an 09 model. it looks decent from the brochures we got at the dealership just my 2 cents. gotta love those 5 spd rios, man those shifters and clutches can be brutal :P

$6,500 isn't going to happen dude. I paid less than that for mine over a year ago from a dealer. Especially since the car market isn't really geared towards big gas sucking trucks right now. People want little cars that get lots of mileage.

Perhaps you could part it out if it's got newer and upgraded parts.

Good luck with it though.
