Thanks for the info men.
$8500-$12500 to a non family member. Dealing with family is going to be much harder but once the price is agreed upon great care must be taken to insure all family members with a vested interest are good with the sale.
That's good news. That's where we
thought we would be, but weren't sure. Family dealings can get touchy for sure, it seems like him buying the truck is agreed upon, but I don't know for sure as I'm not in the middle of it.
I am not going to be any help but say family members can be touchy. My father left a really nice Buick Lesabre. My brother wanted it. So I checked around and I thought $5000.00 would be fair. Now, this a person that brags about 3 pensions. SS, US AF E8, 23 years, and another pension from Dept. of Defense 20 years GS 12. And his wife has 40 years of GS13 Dept Of Defence. He said he would pay $4000.00 said he wanted it for his golfing car, with 3 new cars in the garage already.
This might help???????????I'm hoping something like that doesn't happen, but it's a real possibility. People can get weird with stuff like this. That link is REALLY helpful. That will give him something to show that is, less subjective, maybe? It lines up with the prices told here, so it shows you guys know your prices. No surprise there.
I'm with Martin, but that's assuming the interior and undercarriage are as nice as the top side. You can't put a decent paint job on a truck for less than $10K these days.
Does it run?
How long it's been sitting? Four new tires will set you back $500+...

The interior is just as good as the exterior. I sat in the truck and it's perfect on the inside. I looked under the truck at the rear end and its great there too. All painted and clean. Does it run? I'll say no. The last tag on it was 2013, so it's safe to say it has been at least 8 years since it last ran. His grandfather has been gone for quite some time now and I'm sure it hasn't been driven since he drove it last. I'll be able to help him get it back on its' feet. I don't think it will be too bad to do, but it might be something he can use to get a better price, especially the tires. I'll run tires that I really shouldn't, but I wouldn't on a truck like that.
I looked at the pics of the truck after I read the first post only. The number that came to mind given the particulars was 10k. Seems fair. Nice looking truck.
Thanks for your input. I think the truck is awesome. He did a great job on it. I left out that it has an automatic transmission and tilt steering wheel, so he did it right.
