I need a moment to vent.
I have been lazily browsing around for a cheap beater truck that is fairly dependable. I just want to use it on occassion for home projects and to have around just as an extra vehicle. Nothing fancy and nothing pretty. Just simple and works.
I found on craigslist a 95 s-10 regular cab, 8ft bed, 4x4, with 4.3L. Body is fair, but mismatched paint, interior is fair, and it has 203k on it. I look it up on Kelly Blue Book and they said $2200. This guy said it "books" for $4300!
Another gentlman had a 2001 dakota, reg cab, 6ft bed, 3.7L 5spd, 2WD, base (fleet) truck with a 140K miles. He said it "books" for $9,900! Kelly said $3800.
Finally I found a 92 F-150, 5.0L, reg cab, 6ft bed, 5spd, 2wd, body fair except rust around rear wheels, fair interior, and has 197K miles. He said it "booked" $6800! Kelly said $1100.
Where is this "book" that values trucks sooo high? I know it isn't Kelly.
