I paid $3500 for mine 8 years ago. For what I paid, its been a good truck. OK, so it wasn't in great shape, had a few dings, suffered from terminal rust, etc. And I've put a lot of $$$ and sweat (and scraped knuckles) into it. But I've had it for 8 years and expect to get at least 8 more out of it. Plus its been a great learning experience and all that work was kinda fun. (sorta)

Properly cleaning a vehicle goes a long way.
