Cool truck but overpriced with nearly 150k miles on it. You'd also think that for nearly $55k he'd replace the missing rear infotainment knob!

Yea I thought he was crazy! Im not in the market. He is asking like 20k over a stock price insane
I contacted the seller out of curiosity to see what the bottom price was on his vehicle and even 41k was too low for him (he was offered that much and said no). He then went on to say that this build wasn't done in someone's driveway, it was professional (kinda comes off rude to me). IMHO I think the vehicle is going to be sitting ther for quite some time, especially since a most recent 2008 with some nice gear on it sold for 27.5k Here is the convo:
"Thanks for the inquiry, I don't really have a bottom dollar in my head. I turned down 41k so it would have to be north of that. The rig has only the best of the best and all done at the highest level of workmanship. It's not like the majority of the ones that were built by a couple guys in a driveway. I encourage you to come see it, especially if you are local. I would also listen to an offer and consider ending the auction early. Please call me if you have any other questions"

The guy is quite frankly out of his mind. There was a local 2014 200 built with front/rear bumpers, winch, lifted, etc. 32k miles, under factory warranty for the same money this guy wants for his 150k mile 2008. It will sit for a LONG time unless he cuts the price by about $20k.
Kinda reminds me of this 140k mile GX470 the owner is selling for "$53k firm". I get it - you think your truck is the best one in the world, but anyone who buys at these prices for a truck with those kinda miles has no clue:

Some people are insane and expect to recoup 100% costs they spend on the mods.
This goes for all modded vehicles, you never get your money back.
I'm surprised by the way the guy with Lexy approached his sale. I found it to be actually a little weird. Also, I know people shouldn't complain about how a lister prices their vehicle and we should be nice and all, but I mean throwing some sense of reality at the person shouldn't be frowned upon. They didn't buy a house, the bought a vehicle which is almost always going to depreciate.
Pretty obvious to me that by "professionally done" = a dealer bought the highest mileage 200 they could find at a low cost, bought a bunch of mods, had their mechanics install it, and put it for sale at a giant markup
Gonna be interesting to see what happens on eBay and if he is willing to part out the vehicle at $30 something k. It's got ~4.5 hours left. Hopefully "market forces" will make him reconsider his initial price set and his unwillingness to take the original offer he had at 41k.
It's still for sale on his site
Yeah he has it on eBay at $47k too. I think it still priced too high...
If it's not priced to high and it sells, I know what my next venture will be!
I had to go to Nashville and kill a day so I went to Niche Motors and drove this thing! It's bad ass. Very cool vehicle and he had a bunch of other cool TLCs like a fire truck from Denmark. Very nice guy too, I'm glad he showed it to me.
i don't think it's overpriced for what he has done to it. although, my 08 200 is built better, less miles and has a TRD supercharger on it and I'd sell it for around that price.
It is re-listed at 42,900
Seems like he's starting to be more realistic with the price.
