Buying a 95' ! Please help with pricing

[rcmorgan540]

Hello all. I have found the D-90 that I am going to buy. This is a very clean truck that has a full service history. It ia a 95' with 47K miles. It comes with a full fiberglass hard top, full bestop , and a bikini top. I would be the 3rd owner. The truck is con. green. The truck does not have A/C. Any input would be greatly appreciated. I look foward to buying this truck and contributing to this forum. Thanks in advance ...

hehe or just look at the bottom of this post in the similar topic box which should list all those additional readings. :)

Well only one of them is down there, I removed the list as you can't just click on the links when they are in list format.

I figured I may get something like that. Thanks for the links. However, nothing was discussed about prices paid. I know what people are asking for them. However, asking and selling price are 2 different things. I just want some opinions on what people think the truck is worth. I have seen the truck and it is very nice. It is such a tough thing to price b/c they do not sell every day.

1995 with 47k miles is not bad at all. I'd run a carfax report first, then review the service history (call a friend at a dealership to run the service history would be best) for major work, etc. Then just drive the truck and see how it feels. If you have a friend close by who know 90's have him join you.

Not sure what the owner is asking, but I would think mid-$20's is where he would start depending on mods.

Check ebay for recent sales, NADA guide for retail prices as well as copleymotorcars.com and huntingridgemotors.com for comparable retails sales. LRX should be a good source of recent sale prices.

Good luck!

The reason I posted the links is because you have to know what to look for when you are trying to figure out how much you should pay for a 90. Examples Rust, bad syncros in the tranny, black oil and leaking head gaskets are just a few, you may also want to check e-bay for finished auctions too see how much other people have payed.

Thanks again. I have run a clean carfax report. I have talked to the service center that services the truck. The only major service was a T-Case replacement under warranty at 28K. I have seen the truck in person and driven it. It is the first D-90 that I have driven. It felt like what I expected. The transmission was smooth and it had tons of low end power. The guy says he wants $28 - $29K. I know that is too high but I am not sure what is fair. I just wanted to consult with some people before I made an offer today.

You can buy a 97 for that price. I think $24 - $25 is a fair deal.
