so i dont use my truck anymore. its been sitting my driveway for a while now (couple years) and as much as i hate to let it go, i really need the $$. i drove it a few months ago for about a month and everything was gravy.
i took it out a few weeks ago to take the dog to daycare and blew a brake line.
so today i dropped it off at the shop to get the brake line replaced and have a few other things looked at before i put it up for sale.
details:
Red 1999 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 sport
quad cab
auto
PW,PDL,PS
heated mirrors
auto starter
kenwood cd player (plays MP3), pioneer speakers in front
5.2 V8 212k
privacy glass
bed liner
keyless entry
sliding rear window
running boards
AC
Cruise
tilt
Hitch and wired
dual air bags
the good:
runs like a champ
new oil pump (few months ago)
rear brake lines replaced a couple years ago
new front pads (few months ago)
all new bushings in the front end a couple years ago (just before i stopped driving it)
fuel pump done a few years ago
fresh oil change
new battery
never beat on or taken off road
new drivers side upper and lower ball joints
new front brake lines
new alternator
the bad:
shes got some miles on her, id say 80% highway
tires will pass but are mismatched
body has some minor rust, scratches and dents
the 2 worst are the recent dent in the drivers side back door from a branch during one of the wind storms. could easily be popped out. the other being the grille/bumper. the truck came with a cheap plastic brush guard on it when i got it. 1 day a sheet of ice flew off someones car and i couldnt avoid it and it broke the brush guard, turn signal and insert for one side of the grille. turn signal was replaced, brush guard removed (leaving 2 holes in the bumper) but grille insert could not be replaced.
rust is on the on the rear bumper, bottom of the doors and a couple small spots on the rear quarters. i dont think anything is rotted through so can be fixed.
KBB is about $4400
asking $3300 OBO MIGHT be willing to trade for a street tard (LC4?)
this truck has been great to me and i love driving it. the 318 V8 is an indestructible motor and i wouldnt be surprised to see it go another 100K. if i could afford to keep it and use it i would, but i need to free up some debt so i can get a house in the foreseeable future.
if any other work gets done to the truck while its in the shop or if i think of anything else good or bad ill add it and pics when it comes home
