What's it worth? Realistically

[Mbarclay]

99 1500 5.9 with 166k lifetime transmission warranty, custom bumper, lifter with 35's. Some rust started......I'm selling a 2003 pontiac Grand Prix and this guy needs a car that gets good mileage and asked to trade even.... Seems like I would make out since I was only asking $3k for the car. The truck would be an easier sell for $3500-4000 I was thinking...

Thoughts?

Unless the drive train is mechanically perfect, that body says it's worth less than $3k to me. Look at that rear door...YIKES.

That'd be a nice truck if it wasn't for the rust.

 

[Mbarclay]

Yeah that's what I was thinking I haven't seen it in person yet and he claims there's not much rust but that rear door isn't a good sign

And I'm sure the flares are hiding a lot

If the bottom doors that bad id be scared to see whats under those flairs. Check that for sure. Also get under there and inspect really well! Check cab mounts for sure, there are no replacements available for those. Id probably walk away from that truck myself.

^This is coming from the blue truck rust king.

If it is rusting up there probably got behind the door too. Sills are probably gone but like everyone else. Get under the truck. Take a flare off if you can't get a good look.

15 year old truck, in New York, the land of excessive salt and long winters?

$2k, tops.

You can't expect to get a 15 year old truck and have it need nothing. I'd bet there are $2-$3k of repairs that need done, right off the bat. Plus, that "lifetime" transmission warranty should be a red flag. I'm sure it just started shifting funny yesterday, so Mr. New Owner, just drive it over to the transmission shop, and they'll fix you right up. But, sign over your title of your Grand Prix to me first. Never-mind that those warranties are rarely transferable, nor has the required services been done (fluid & filter changes), or that we didn't even rebuild the transmission, just put in sawdust and trans-fix to get the cheap ass previous owner out the door. So, please give me another $2k to get it fixed.

Pass. Super pass. Super ultra pass. Super ultra really fricken pass unless you like giant headaches, 8mpg, and stupid repair bills and oh, by the way, that hole in the door probably won't pass NY state inspection either; and that's assuming the undercarriage is pristine, which I can gauren-damn-tee it ain't.

Without knowing specifics...$1500...high miles and an overall weathered vehicle...glws

C.R.A.P. in Tennessee that truck is $1000 to $1500 tops. And in my eyes its a parts truck for what isn't rusted lol

Whether folks from more forgiving climates and road conditions realize this or not, that truck still carries a value between 2-3K up here in the north-east. Rust free trucks may be plentiful in some parts of the country, they are quite rare up here. It is, quite frankly, average decay for a truck of its age and location. The aftermarket front bumper alone is worth upwards of $500. As long as the rust is the only negative factor in the trucks condition (healthy motor/trans/axles/suspension/steering/electronics/etc) it is a running, driving truck -it will fetch 3k all day every day up here in salt-rots-our-trucks land.

$6K is top of the market for a 2g gas powered ram, not a huge shocker you found a nice truck in that price bracket. I said trucks like the one you found are rare, not impossible to find. My point is, the truck up for debate in this thread still has value. No it is not a $6000 clean truck, nor is it a $1000 parts truck. $3k could be a fare market price for that truck in this part of the country (assuming the mechanicals are in order).

Where I live, it could easily fetch $2k-$3k. Its not at part truck status yet from how it looks to me, just needs some lovin.

Heck, where I am, a good used Dana 60 front axle can command anywhere from $600-1000.
