The truck has only 162,000kms on it, standard transmission (5spd) but its been beat in the logging roads & forests here in B.C. Canada. Its got frontend damage & needs a fender, rad support, light assembly etc. Also the front tie rod has been welded in place just to get it home. Any ideas on a what this things worth?
thanks

Something like that can cost lots of money to fix up. It depends on how much it's worth to you. If you need a beater for work than pick it up for cheap. If you want it for recreation, I probably wouldn't even mess with it even for $1k because fixing it up can easily cost thousands and a headache.

Really? Isnt a good running 12v Cummins engine with only 162,000kms worth more than $1k?

I can get it for $3750 + taxes.

Well everyone has a different approach to used vehicles. Nowadays I'd rather pay more for something in better shape instead of bringing someone's junk in my driveway.

For Canada thats a very fair price...See if you could get for $3750 including taxes...that would be better but even then its ok...With only 162K on the driveline you could fix the body up.I paid over double for may truck with 365K....and did a bunch of body work...
