Thanks - to be clear, it is now $10K. I'm not in any hurry to sell, but am surprised I've received no serious offers. I may put the 570 in storage and drive this a couple more years...

Only reasons I can think of that might be keeping the offers away is what is keeping me from offering:

1) NJ birthplace, rust as shown, although not too bad...any rust sucks
2) LX instead of LC = AHC which can be a pain in the ass
3) The color - I can't get over the "grandma gold" factor

Hopefully someone else can see past these (or doesn't see them at all) and pick up what seems to be a well cared for truck. If it were KBB priced ($6-$7k) I would be more inclined to look past but I understand that is a hard pill to swallow after investing so much over the years.

Thanks - understand all. FWIW - the Grandma(!) Gold is PERFECT if you hunt over a golden retriever! My new track has a black interior and the fur everywhere is killing me!

As for KBB, I might feel the same way if I were on the buyer's side. However, unlike the KBB "model", this truck has a transmission with less than 50K miles on it and a recent oil analysis that should mitigate any risk regarding engine condition. Add headers that mitigate the known issue of exhaust manifold cracks and a replaced throttle body, I think it outscores KBB.

Rust. Yup, understand. It really does look worse in the pics than it really is, but I wanted to ensure full disclosure of condition. What surface rust is there has been there with very little change for the 11 years I've owned it. I wouldn't know why it would start to accelerate for a new owner.

Again, thanks for the comments. It is valuable to know what others are thinking.

All great counterpoints! I did not take into account a newer transmission, headers, throttle body, and oil analysis. I would definitely hold out for a higher number. GLWS!
 
Congrats on the sale - based on our email communication, I can only imagine the buyer got a great deal on a well described and honestly presented truck.
