That would destroy the economy in Costa Rica and South florida if that happened.

Side note - Anything wrong with buying a project truck for the right price from south america if it hasn't undergone a rattle can resto?

If you know what you are getting no. However I have seen 5 and all 5 were badly misrepresented as far as the mechanical condition or "fixed" up to the point that they would run for a while and then broke down requiring a full rebuild on engines or the drivetrain

I just keep thinking that the bottom is going to fall out of the market soon.....at a certain point people are not going to pay $20,000 for a project truck. A few years ago this was a $2,000 truck....the bubble will burst the question is when???

I totally agree. I check CL as well as here EVERY DAY for a $7-$8k rig and you can't find crap in that price range. You either see a $4k basket case or something like this which IMO is beyond priced too high.

$19,500??

I wouldn't pay more than $7k for it.
