I’m selling a set of four tires for $100. This dude stopped messaging me five days ago during which time like ten other people got in touch, and then today…

(I’m in blue)


Poor baby isn’t intewested any more. Sad face. These tires have given me more idiots than almost anything else I’ve ever sold.

Lol, my tire selling strategy is to stack them in the driveway with a big rock and say leave the cash under the rock. Worst case they don’t take the tires , best they actually leave money under the rock.

Just sold another set of almost new wheels and tires (clearing out space in the garage lately), and they were priced at $1,000 FIRM which is much lower than other people, and about an $800 discount over new. Some kid drove five and a half hours for them, then asks me if I’ll take $800. I told him no, full price or empty hands.

On the other hand, I also just sold my Kawasaki KLX230 and the guy showed up in a new 911 Carerra S with a company check for the full amount and told me “cash it, deposit it, whatever you want and then when you are comfortable call me and I’ll pick it up at your convenience.” Didn’t even push to do the paperwork until I call him again.

My mind is blown.

I’m selling my Ranger because it’s a seventh car and I just wanted to flip it from the get-go. Some dude FB messaged me, said “I’m on my way”, showed up 30 minutes later and paid for the truck on the spot. I gave him a decent discount for showing up and not jerking me around, and I think we both ended up happy. Probably doing the paperwork tomorrow.

And to think just this morning I realized I hadn’t had a message on it in almost a week and I was thinking to myself that the loving thing would never sell.

Given how dirty and mismatched it is, I'm going to guess that the original steering wheel was in storage, and got slapped back on. Perhaps replacing a chain-link wheel? Only thing I can think of that would go with the rest of the interior.
And vacuum the carpet, God!

Realy, I can't get mad at the diamond-tufted interior - the original vinyl was probably hosed all to hell. They just went a liiiiiittle overboard on the stuffing.

A friend messaged about this. There are only three things wrong with it:

1. Blown head gasket.
2. 4wd is inop due to ‘broken spider gear’.
3. It’s in Hoonah.

That's less than 1/10th of what it should be valued at. You can't touch those in any condition for less than $10k these days.

Or a down payment.
A lot of dealers are disingenuous, or just stupid, and list the down payment rather than the actual price, though usually the body of the ad specifies that it's down + payments.

yup. That's a light duty ttb D50 up front with 44 outers. throw the whole thing out for a Dana 60 of any flavor. That's two-three grand right there.
6.9s aren't particularly desirable outside of the fact they take boost well and don't suffer from cavitation as badly as the 7.3. They blow heads as the headbolts are insufficient. Stud it. Getting the engine operational again is gonna take another couple grand. A couple grand more if you want it to make any power at all above sealevel.
It still has a 3 speed C6 behind it so its gonna be out of steam right around 60mph anyway. A few grand will 5 speed swap it or 4r100 with a build kit. GV overdrive kit will be about the same.
It has a short-pinion 10.25 out back which was updated to a long-pinion in '92 to stop the nut from backing off. It *can* be corrected... just update it with the D60... another 200-1200 there.
This doesn't even get into the rust or the underlying issues pig has...

Expect to spend 15 thou or better getting it into usable shape. Expect to spend 20 or better to make it dailyable. This is probably the worst way to enter into an old diesel bricknose as it has a pretty lousy chassis loadout.

I spent 5 for my 350 in 2016 with a 7.3/zf5/KP-D60 and on a standardized frame and got it to drive home.

Spare set of keys, fresh oil change. Car runs quiet with a new stock midpipe (great back pressure). Fog lights. Rust proofed twice since my ownership. Ontario plated. Ontario safety available with the sale price. I have a spare new $250 original carburador in the box for it also. Car is maroon in color. Driven twice a week, runs and drives great. Don't waste my time as L. Brezhnev wants his 94 octane car back.
