Although I'm still negotiating, I'm pretty sure the seller will take $1,000.. Is this a fair price for a truck in this condition ? Too much ? or am I getting a fairly good deal... Anyone out there who can give me a little advise in this area I would appreciate it.. Thanks, Jerry P. Cram
$1000 for a non-running, rusty truck is in the right neighborhood. I've seen them go anywhere from free on up. It all depends on how motivated the seller is and how tenacious the buyer is.
