Default What do you guys think?

OK guys, So i found this truck from a guy who owens a dakota R/t like mine.

what do you think its worth? as well it is in SC and im in CO. So i would either have to have it shipped or fly down and drive it back.

The guy bought it stock 2 years ago and has done everything that it has.

I am alittle uncertain about buying a truck site unseen. as well i sont know how i feel about the 07 interior. here it is and i can explain more.

2007
5.9 auto
quad cab

Mineral Grey in color quad cab. hard tonneau cover, ranchhand heavy duty rear bumper, V5+ hitch, bushwacker fender flares, AFE stage 2 cold air intake, AFE 5 inch turbo back exhaust, AirDog FP150 fuel system, Autometer factory match fuel pressure guage, Edge juice with Attitude programmer, Moto Metal 18" rims with nitto terra grapplers, 86k miles, new front hub bearings, transmission was just flushed and serviced, only used AMsOil.



Tell me what you think it should cost off the top of your head. and body is great no dents dings or damadge.

thanks!!

Yeah? Thats the risk of buying blindly. If you fly over there and it looks like crap your have to buy another ticket. Or if it looks good but breaks down on you on the way home... It's a risk. Is this for collection purposes? Or are you looking for another personal truck to drive around?

THis is going to be my new one and only truck Daily driver, race car hauler, road tripper, you name it. the dakota will be gone.

I just dont know about buying a car with all that stuff done to it. On the plus most of it i would do to any truck i get any way. So it saves me some money. I guess i just dont know!

Truck looks great, but 86,000 miles & it's a 2007 I would try lowering the price down some

How bad do you want it & how bad does he need the money Do your homework, check the same truck out in the web, auto trader, craigslist, try finding out why the guys is selling, &b how fast he needs the $$$, to see how desperate he is to get rid of it

It appears he's already dropped the price a couple of times, so it looks like he's ready to get rid of it.

Its a nice truck, but I would hate flying all the way out there just to have the truck not be what you want it to be or something happening on the way home. Have you not found anything within at least 500 miles of where you're at?
