ftpiercecracker1 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 This is my dream truck. My heart literaly skipped a beat when i first saw it. What do you think a reasonable price would be for this truck? 4K sounds a little steep, but my GOD is it gorgeous. :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: http://tricities.craigslist.org/cto/3624256497.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86customanche Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Depends on area prices. I did see that is says roll bar, but I don't see one. :hmm: It does look pretty nice. Any rust? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtnClimber Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Shahp looking. Maybe the fella meant pushbar instead of roll bar? :hmm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ftpiercecracker1 Posted February 21, 2013 Author Share Posted February 21, 2013 It does look pretty nice. Any rust? The only place i can tell from the pictures is on the rear passenger rocker panel, but other wise it looks pristine. Shahp looking. Maybe the fella meant pushbar instead of roll bar? :hmm: My thinking as well. I don't know if you guys noticed, but its also got power windows!! What makes it even better is that my MJ has the exact same color interior except bucket seats and center console. I seriously SERIOUSLY want this truck. I will be calling him tomorrow and contacting my bank about a loan first thing in the morning. Just to give you an idea of excited i am, my hands are shaking slightly. :jump: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtnClimber Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Must be a PW conversion cuz the master switch has 4 switches but the truck only has 2 windows! :doh: But I plan on doing the same to mine.... :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelbyluvv Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Also it is a column shift with a floor shift console. I would get the VIN first and have it run through Chrysler first. Then use all the info you find that is either wrong or added to bargin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the pass door has 2 switches? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it has less than 180K on the Odometer, everything works, and really is as nice as the pictures I think $3200 would be a fair price, what do you think?

Guanaco.13 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Thats a nice truck I would haggle a little and try to get the price down and don't act like it is the sickest MJ you ever seen just tell them you are looking for a truck to take the trash to the dump every now and then. (THE CAMPER SHELL HAS TO GO !!!!!!!!!) that was the first thing i did when i got my MJ home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ftpiercecracker1 Posted February 21, 2013 Author Share Posted February 21, 2013 I am gonna call the number first thing tomorrow. I swear if they say its already been sold . . . . :cry: . . . don't act like it is the sickest MJ you ever seen . . . Thats gonna be hard to do, especially when i am already bananas for it. :banana: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawn Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 it is beautiful. there are some strangnesses though. ive never seen a column shift on an eliminator, or anything other than buckets and console for that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Automan2164 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 it is beautiful. there are some strangnesses though. ive never seen a column shift on an eliminator, or anything other than buckets and console for that matter. The Eliminator Package only came with Buckets, console, and floor shift. I am going to imagine it is a true Elim, because the decals match the age of the truck, and buckets/column shift wouldn't be too hard to swap in.

ftpiercecracker1 Posted February 21, 2013 Author Share Posted February 21, 2013 Thats pretty awesome that it has factory PW and like i said before my iterior is identical except for buckets and a center console. Now the big question, what about asking price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Automan2164 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 High, high, high. I'd be shooting for 2500 not knowing the miles and by the condition. I would cite all the modifications from the factory that have been done to it, and make it a point if the original seats/parts are gone. Rob.

If he would take $2500 for it i would have sold my kidney by now. I am expecting to pay a little over 3k for it, but we/I can always hope.

Flashy? Whats that? I have a 00 tundra with 270K that has more dents and dings than a golf ball has dimples. My clothes generally have more oil and grease on them then my cars and i've never even held a Rolex either. :D All good stuff. :cheers: Check list of things to ask. What is the mileage Are you the original owner Do you have service records Did you do an auto or PW conversion Rust anywhere else besides rocker panel Does everything work Any leaks or noises I'm really terrified that when i call he will say its got 250K or more :( , but with the body in as good of condition as it is i can't possibly imagine its over 200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellaheep Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Personally I think that's a fair price for the truck. Anything less would make it a good deal. $2500 would be a steal. I'd definitely question the Eliminator package authenticity. That floor "half" console isn't correct except for floor shifted trucks. Column shift 4x4 trucks got a small bezel that went around the t-case shifter. And like Rob said, Eliminator interior packages were pretty strictly buckets, full console with a floor shift for manual and auto. From what I understand, the D44 rear axle was also part of the package - this truck has a D35. The Eliminator stickers are available as reproductions and the lower silver body stripes look to be painted on. The OEM vinyl body stripes had a pixelated fade to them, not solid as pictured, and they don't go to the bottom of the body either. I'm gonna call this an Eliminator Impostor......... but a nice one. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Automan2164 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 I'll stand by my number. We don't know the miles, it shows visible rot, an interior that is not stock, the floors are most likely gone, the lift kit is a cheaper brand, I would be on high alert for body work... I see some money in the wheels and tires... That's about it. I'm not saying I would go there and walk up guns blazing, but I would make you knowledge known through conversaton, discuss whay you think are issues and then tell them about what you would do if the truck was yours. Bring an automotively inclined friend, so you remain grounded and don't end up with blinders on. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ftpiercecracker1 Posted February 21, 2013 Author Share Posted February 21, 2013 This is a picture of my Eliminators decals, and it is genuine. I just wish the rest of the truck looked this good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Automan2164 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 D44 was not part of the package. The mini console could have been swapped in along with the bench, and currently doesn't even have a shifter in it. I think it's a true elim, but may have led a sorted past.
