Default my trucks for sale......

[:@]

this sucks. my trucks for sale...... 10mpg is NOT cutting it for a teenager right now...... i love love LOVE this truck but i have to make a wise choice here.
if any of yall have an opinion on whether to sell it or not, leave that comment here: https://dodgeforum.com/m_450694/tm.htm

but here i was just wanting to ask yall how much i should ask for my truck.... specs: 1995 Ram 5.2 auto 140,xxx, 4x4, 33 inch tires (only 1800 miles on them). it needs a paint job (scratches, chipping hood) so for blue book value its called 'fair' condition.

what do yall think i should ask for my truck?

Don't feel so bad, I am at that point too. With the price of gas expected to hit 4.50 I can't afford to go to work! No work no anything. But I am looking at a Dodge of course but I just can't see myself in anything but my Ram.

I know your pain on the gas milage, I drive on an average of 1000 miles a week. Right now I have traded truck with my wife and to add insult to injury it's a Chevy. But I get about 17mpg with her truck. The Ram is paid off and I thought about selling it or trading it in. My wife knows how much I love my truck and doesn't want to see me let it go, but if gas gets as high as they say something will have to be done. Put your truck up for a few hundred more then KKB puts a value on it. Trucks are going to be a hard sell right now. Or find a beater you can afford for a few hundred dollars, put the truck up and save it for a day when you can drive it.

yea right now the 'few hundred over blue book' is what im gonna do

blue book is 3560 for my truck..... an offer of 3800-4000 i would take......

i was just kind of wondering if the 3560 that kbb.com said was accurate or not, it seemed a bit high to me (but i was glad to see it)

I ran into the gas milage problem too last summer. I just kept my truck and insured it as a recreational/fun vehicle and bought a car for $600 and just put liability on it. The 2 together are about $10 cheaper to insure then the truck alone and the car gets 25 mpg. To me it was a simple fix.

Yeah, i'm NEVER gonna give up this truck, unless i total it and get a CTD =)

Worse case scenerio... I'll drive a Geo Metro... But to sell my truck would be Blasphemous.

Hate to see you go muddy, you better come back, or We'll kill you =) (j/k)

sorry too see you're sellin it. yeah gas prices are going to be even higher than they were last year. i feel like going out and picking up a diesel volkswagon for a daily driver.

40+ mpg can't beat that

yeah the safeway across the street from my apartment had regular gasoline at 2.81, plus at 2.91, premium at 3.01 and diesel at 2.93.

[:@][:@][:@][:@]hmm let's see can anyone do the math here?????????[:@][:@][:@][:@][:@]

hmm i got the digital camera back... gonna have to go take a picture of that.

Im buying a Moped and saving my truck for long road trips, hunting/fishing camping and winter driving. This is f*cking rediculous, the price of gas, and the worst part of it is, our government is sitting by while big oil companys rape us and earn record profits every quarter. Next truck I buy is DEF. going to be a CTD, Thank god I live in Iowa and we have Soy Biodiesel!
