I think you guys are in a whole different ball park, GW and I aren't even in the parking lot...we pay less for trucks than you did in taxes on yours :)
It sounds like he's looking for something around $3K.....I know I haven't paid over $4K for a truck in my whole life...going on the 3rd yr with my latest that I bought at an auction for $3200.
As long as you aren't in a hurry GW...wait for a good deal to come along.
I had my fair share of used trucks. Some were great others gave me head-aches & cost me lot's of coin to keep them going. I don't have time or the desire to work on them anymore & I would rather spend my free time hunting & fishing. Heck I even had them throw in the maintenance package... lol
You're making the assumption that newer vehicles don't have their problems - or do you buy new when you run out of warranty?Quote:

Lot's of time, I don't intend to sell the Jimmy until I find something else. Usually when I buy a used truck I make all the necessary repairs up front so it's reliable.

I bought my 2001 Jimmy I think in 2013 with 98000 KM on it for 2800. I now have 150000 Km on it and it appears I could probably sell it for more than I paid. What size engine is in that Mike? V8?
I was hoping to find something like an old 2001 - 2005 S10 or Ranger but there are n one left.
yes the 5lt...bullet proof..Quote:

Are you looking to a P/U to haul the ATV in the bed ? You might be just as well off buying a trailer for behind the Jimmy.
Nope they want 8000 + if it has less than 300,000 on it.
