my firend Ladd wrecked his car this weekend (see pic below).
he made it out OK, but now he needs a new vehicle.
doesn't have to be a pickup, any daily driver will do.

he has about $5k to spend.

anyone in CA with a car for sale?

Geez and I used to have an 89 toyota truck like that. What happened?

Yep, my Dakota. Fits the bill perfectly. $5k is exactly what my minimum is.

It closed on Ebay below reserve today... It's well worth $5k though. Kelly Blue Book values are on the bottom of the page below.

Here is the link w/ more details, please send it to your buddy.

Steve,
that's a good deal at $5k. Seems like a nice truck, I wonder why the roof paint failed?

All the Domestic paint sucked in the 90s because of the tighter regulations on paint and emmissions (it's all Zois' fault! ) You see a ton of cars from these years with crappy paint. The major 3 all had secret repaint warranties, but the time has passed on this one. You can find a ton of info on the paint issue on the web.

It seems to be holding well everywhere else on the truck though. If I had any guess it could also be contributed to less wax on the roof.

Regardless, some quick paint and further straightening of the left rear fender and this one falls into the "excellent" catagory. I ran my KBB private party value only at "good" because of the paint issues.
