Cool Price/Condition of your truck.

I bought my truck for $3,500 with 297,000 miles on it, an almost new nv4500 Trannsmission, and the Transfer case worked on. It also had all of the wheel bearings gone through and replaced and basically made into a sold chassis truck.

I was wondering what other peopled had paid for their 1st Gens.

$2900 For a 91 with 350,00 on it. New 727 Auto Transmission. Oil changes done religiously (or excessively) every 3000. However, he left me a bunch of wiring issues to deal with and a minor water leak.

1993 W250 4x4 Club Cab with 190K on the clock. 518 was solid, truck was rust free. Problems were light body damage around two wheel wells, front driveshaft in the bed, VSS gone, and wiring issues. I paid 2800.

I got mine for $1500. It was sitting for three years so I threw another $1500 at it for tires, brakes, wheel bearings and a little TLC items. I have another $500 into it in the passer year for better then factory goodies. So at $3500 for what I think is a solid truck I won't be complaining for some time.

My 90 I got in trade for about $1000 worth of parts and labor I had in to my neighbor's backhoe. It had been sitting out back of his place for years. Ain't a straight body panel on the thing. Had 143k on the odometer when it quit working who knows when. When I got it, brakes were shot, one exterior light worked, and wouldn't start without jumping the starter circuit. Runs great though. Got about another $1000 in to it now and about have everything working right.

1990 d250 180k $4000
One owner, two books of maintenance records and a fresh oil filter behind the seat and fuel filter in the glove box.No rust whatsoever, and even has the dealer installed auxilary trans cooler. Owner even paid for a new battery since the old one got smoked on the ride home when the voltage regulator died. Old folks are the best

My 84 Crewcab is rust free..and I mean rust free!! It had the cummins and NV4500 swap done already, it ran and drove. It needed ALOT of TLC to get it road worthy. Paid $6000 Cdn for the truck, and figure I have another $3000+ in parts to fix all the neglect, all labor done by me...except the front end alignment.
