How much is my dime worth?

dirty_drew · 10-28-2009, 04:58 PM

I wanna sell my dime because i miss my fullsize too much. My dad got all pissy when i told him cus i have no job and he partially pays for my gas. So i'm looking to sell this or trade even for a fullsize with either a V6 vortec 5 speed or a 305 5 speed.

So back to the truck, my dad thinks it's worth 5500-6000 bucks. Its a 98 S10 single cab, stepside, with a brand new GM 2.2L crate that was put in over the summer. Also has a trans and rearend from a 95 S10 that had 40,000miles on it put in with the engine. Interior is decent with a stain on the carpet, both levers on the drivers seat are broke off the side, manual locks/windows, has AC and standard radio with cassette. Exterior is also decent, alot of scratches in the clear coat, but a good buff and wax should bring em out no problem. Had a few scratches down to the metal and primer that were touched up just to keep off the Iowa rust. Car also has no rust and new tires. I was thinking maybe $4500-5500?

No where near that

I may give $2k max for a truck like that around here

Tennesse winters arent as harsh as Iowa winters on your vehicle either.

by what you've said, it's probably worth $2.5k at the most.

I never said I'd pay that much for it. but that's probably what it's worth, sitting there. I'd probably offer, $2k, like the other guy said.

If he didn't live as far as he did, I'd probably wanna go look at it.

firstgenon24s · 10-28-2009, 08:15 PM

$2-3k

look around on autotrader or craigslist and see how much other people are asking for their s10s in your area.

dirty_drew · 10-28-2009, 09:12 PM

So pretty much having a brand new drivetrain does nothing for the value?

Nope. It's a 2.2.

That just proves preventative maintenance wasn't performed on the factory drivetrain to me. All areas are different as far as truck value, but one ike that would go for $3g around here.

Tell your dad to look it up on kelley blue book. It's www.kbb.com. I did, but since we don't know the mileage and the motor and body don't match anyway it'll be harder to get a true value. I put in 100K for your miles which I think is generous considering age and with an Iowa zip code in good condition it's worth a little over $2400. That's private property value, you selling it outright to a 2nd party.

Edit: I put it down as an automatic too. That'll raise the value a little.

Last owner had a rod knock, and the idiot who towed the truck never thought to put the truck in neutral, so everything got blown.

I guess I'll just try my luck on craigslist. Out here theyre asking anywhere from $3000-4500 on trucks that have rust and over 150k on them. I'm pretty sure i can do better than that.

lee-mill · 10-29-2009, 09:27 PM

3k tops. its a s10, they are almost as common as a civic. and a side note, dont bitch at your dad because you dont have a job and he can tell you want to do because he gives you money

Wrkn prgs · 10-29-2009, 09:41 PM

Your best bet is to try and trade straight up for a fullsize.

"Asking" does not mean they are selling at that price.

Seriously. My dads given me gas money once and i bout pissed myself when he did. Sounds like you need to get your priorities straight and worry less about getting another truck, especially a less economical one, and worry about getting a job

-YumYum97s10- · 10-30-2009, 12:39 AM

Sounds like his best bet is to keep it, drive it, and get a job and save up for a full size..or at least be able to pay for his own gas.
