MY friend seems to be infinitely patient so I guess its no big deal but this thing hasnt sold yet. Check out his ad. Text Myself I think it isnt descriptive enough. Its in like brand new condition and such yet he doesnt state it.

personally, i think it's priced too high. I think about $9k is about right. those small chevy trucks don't hold their value well. this is pretty much a base model work truck.
 
Base model, domestic, plain white truck priced ABOVE blue book in a day of high gas prices.

That, or the Winnie the Pooh floormats😛
 
Price is to high and the S10 is old now.
Lower price and take some better pictures as the shadow block to much.

With gas what it is and the S10 being the "old" truck, they will not go for much now. If it was a short/Reg. bed then maybe a ricer would get it to lower it, but the long bed says worker truck and workers want something cheap.

Pretty much. It's a rather unattractive truck, at that.

I had a 1993 GMC Sonoma in mint condition with 35K miles and a nice trim package with the 4.3L 6-cylinder and a 5-speed manual that I bought in 1995 for $8K, and that was the time where small trucks were enormously overpriced.
 
I ran the KBB on the truck, using a generic Tacoma zip code, and unless it is REALLY in excellent condition, (almost no used cars meet that standard), then it's overpriced by at least $1000. There is no info as to any extras/options, so I used the basics that KBB shows as stock items.

"Vehicle Details Change Equipment

Blue Book Private Party Value
Private Party Value is what a buyer can expect to pay when buying a used car from a private party. The Private Party Value assumes the vehicle is sold "As Is" and carries no warranty (other than the continuing factory warranty). The final sale price may vary depending on the vehicle's actual condition and local market conditions. This value may also be used to derive Fair Market Value for insurance and vehicle donation purposes.


Vehicle Condition Ratings Check Vehicle Title History
Excellent
$10,040
"Excellent" condition means that the vehicle looks new, is in excellent mechanical condition and needs no reconditioning. This vehicle has never had any paint or body work and is free of rust. The vehicle has a clean title history and will pass a smog and safety inspection. The engine compartment is clean, with no fluid leaks and is free of any wear or visible defects. The vehicle also has complete and verifiable service records. Less than 5% of all used vehicles fall into this category.

Good
$9,385
"Good" condition means that the vehicle is free of any major defects. This vehicle has a clean title history, the paint, body and interior have only minor (if any) blemishes, and there are no major mechanical problems. There should be little or no rust on this vehicle. The tires match and have substantial tread wear left. A "good" vehicle will need some reconditioning to be sold at retail. Most consumer owned vehicles fall into this category.

Fair
$8,525
"Fair" condition means that the vehicle has some mechanical or cosmetic defects and needs servicing but is still in reasonable running condition. This vehicle has a clean title history, the paint, body and/or interior need work performed by a professional. The tires may need to be replaced. There may be some repairable rust damage. "

Yeh. it is excellent. He never drives it and its always been garaged. Ill have to talk to him about the price thing though. Thanks for looking it up 🙂

 
What is "new tabs"?😕

Anyway, that is a rather plain truck. He might consider putting a stripe kit on the sides to make it look less like a "work truck". And the price is on the high side too for it's age.
 
I just did KBB for my civic...
I hit trade-in instead of private sale; freaked me out for a second.
trade-in = over 15% less than private.
