It must go.....for fair price.
Bought it for 9200 in 2011.
Old man 4". Front and rear diff(cant get to engage). 196k miles, paints great. Sparkles. Tinted windows. Some rust undercarriage. Bfs in good shape, plenty tread. Snorkel. Arb grille. Also, driver window motor slowing quickly, seat motor works, but threads woren and wont move. Using wrench to adjust.

Thats it. Not sure how to price. Its the best looking cruiser i've seen, but of course has some issues. Help if u feel inclined. Thanks
 
Really nice looking - not a lot of help with pricing. I've never seen this around Birmingham before. @landspeeder
 
Well, fair is going to be in the eye of the cash holder...

That is a very straight truck, mild build, great paint. Interior: seats look great (recovered?), arm rest is a little worn but overall (from the pic you posted) the inside looks to be in good shape. Tires, lift, bumper, lights, lockers (I think that is what you were trying to convey by the can't get them to engage) it has all the right parts. Looks like some oil on the axle and some rust on some of the frame. What is the mechanical state? HG been done, knuckles been done, PHH, etc?

I have seen trucks that were this clean go for north of 10k, but the mechanicals and interior were also perfect. I would say if you have HG, PHH, or other big ticket items checked off and if the interior is as clean as it looks and if you could have that armrest recovered to match the seats, AND if you can get the lockers working, then you could likely get into that range. easily. Folks seem to be ready to trade a testicle and slap their momma for clean trucks that are factory locked these days, so if you want top dollar, get those working and get a few of those other items squared away.

If you want to get it gone quick, then (in my opinion) you are going to have get down under $8k. If I was in the market and looking for a good clean truck, then I would probably be in that range. Folks paying the big bucks want to not have to touch anything, if you are selling as is with some mechanical flaws and non-working lockers, then you need to be ready to settle for less $$.

Just my opinion, so take if for what you paid for it, but I think if you don't want to put anything else into it, then I'd be ready to be in the $6k-$8k range when the dust settles. Little effort and making sure things are in top shape and $10k+ is likely attainable.
 
Thank you for taking the time for your reply. Its a huge help. Affirms what i was thinking. At this point I think I'm gonna give it a go on the forum for 7500 and see what happens. Honestly want someone to get what they pay for and treat this rig better than me. Dont want to under sell it either. I just didn't have the time. Thanks again
 
my advice would be to detail it, take tons of pics, and writeup a full description of everything done to it and what it needs. Then list it on ebay with a reserve of what you have in it. Ive sold quite a few rigs this way over the years and never had an issue because I was a thorough as possible and was 100% upfront on condition and issues. There is a good market for clean 80s
 
Solely because I do not want it even though Blue is my dream color I'm just DONE with 80's... BUT... Do you need help troubleshooting the locker situation? I have helped numerous locals get theirs working...
You can fetch a few thousand more with working lockers with prolly only $100 or $200 invested in a solenoid...
