I see a bit of rust…..it’s a Michigan vehicle, some underbody photos may reveal why the $2k price.

Who bought this?

Made contact through all 3 options - phone, PM here, and also on facebook messenger, and not a single reply or acknowledgement.

 

[Broski]

I'm guessing he realized that he was not asking enough !

 

[EWheeler]

Seller texted back. He has updated FB add with photos of rust, and asking price is "taking best offer". Truck is still available.

 

[sogafarm]

I have no doubt this will be a quick sale at that price.

 

[Broski]

He increased his price on Facebook
If one could get the mud price I still think it would make a good wheeler.
Rocker chop sliders and clean up the frame & rear axle best you can.
Tow hitch, spare tire carrier and everything behind the axle I got rid of my build.

Tough situation when one realizes they underpriced their truck. Michigan definitely brings the red flags, but the 80 series holds up better than most. I don't know the seller personally, but I have seen other posts, and know he is a straight shooter. That is a smoking deal at that price, and worth a bit more I suspect. Not a big fan of "waiting to see what the best offer is". Best offer to me means down, not up.
like I said- Though spot for the seller.
Good luck to all. Hopefully a good deal is had on both ends.
