Normal 0 false false false EN-US JA X-NONE I am selling my father’s truck that he has had for the past year and this one has been remarkably reliable and is a very healthy one. We are all finished up on the house projects and he is ready to downsize and it’s a shame as it’s a super truck. Here’s what we have: The mechanicals all check out with straight-As. Under the hood is the 5.7L V8 that pulls very strong and sounds great. The automatic transmission shifts perfectly through the gears with no issues. The brakes are strong and a couple of months ago a portion of line and the rear wheel cylinders were replaced. The suspension is comfortable and tracks smooth with no noises from the wheels. The steering is a bit soft but the truck doesn’t wander excessively and there are no leaks to fault it so we never bothered. It’s an older truck with miles and that’s just how it drives. The exhaust is quiet, the truck doesn’t smoke, and there are no warning lights illuminated. It is two-wheel drive and gets fairly good gas mileage with still enough power to pull a trailer which it does easily with the class-3 hitch on the back. No foreseeable work needs to be done and it’s a turn-key dependable worker. The interior of the truck is beautiful with nice cloths seats that don’t have any tears, burns or stains, the carpets are in great condition and they were always kept clean. The headliner has a couple small rips but does not sag at all. The dash is in perfect shape with no big cracks, the power buttons all work, the a/c compressor kicks on but doesn’t blow cold and we never had it checked out as it was not a priority, and the heat is red hot so you’ll be comfortable for winter to come. There is an aftermarket cd player installed which as great sound through the factory speakers. The body of the truck is really nice for a truck that’s been used and driven as there are no rot or bubbles that I can find. I hope some extra pictures of the rockers and fenders aid in my emphasis on how clean of a body it has. There are some small dents, the most notable on the nose of the hood and the tail gate, but all pretty negligible in-the-line-of-duty bumps. The clear coat is fading on the roof but nowhere else around it. There is a nice set of tires on it, the fronts are normal and the backs have some extra ‘nob’ but don’t affect the handling. The bed is in good condition but no liner so the marks are obvious and apparent in the pictures. It’s a good looking one from any angle. All-in-all this is a really awesome running truck with a very healthy body and interior that has been very well kept. The truck has a clear Florida title and was registered there while my father was living in the state last year. He has opted not to return in the foreseeable future and thus is being sold here in Central NJ. I am selling it with no reserve on auction and I will be happy to answer any questions you may have. Please ask prior to bidding and please respect my integrity as a seller by being a real buyer yourself! As-Is Condition While I hold the truck in a very confident regard, it is being sold as-is where-is with no guarantees or warranties expressed or implied. My description and pictures describe the vehicle in its current state to the best of my knowledge and any inconsistencies or aspects of the sale or vehicle that you may be unclear about are the responsibility of the purchaser to express prior to the end of the auction. I’ll be happy to assist you in any way I can. Payment A deposit of $500 must be made within 24 hours of the end of the auction and can be made only through PayPal. Full payment must be made for the vehicle within 7 calendar days of auction’s end. Full payment can be made in cash or a certified bank check. After one week if I have not heard from the buyer regarding his/her plans to pay in full and pick up the truck, I hold the right to retain the deposit to cover eBay fees and the time inconvenience of re-running the vehicle. Shipping Shipping and pickup is the responsibility of the buyer. Any expenses associated with shipping or pickup will be additional expenses the buyer must handle. If you would like me to suggest a shipping service I know personally and hold in high regard, please contact me directly for that information prior to auction end. I will only meet a shipper or individual and pass over the title and keys at a mutually convenient time at the vehicle’s current location but I am happy to help in this way. “0” Feedback Bidders If you have zero feedback or if your only feedback states negative remarks, please contact me prior to bidding. I hold the right to cancel bids from anyone with zero feedback that has not made contact to confirm their intent to win and purchase the car. For that reason, if I message you regarding your interest, please respond to confirm your intent. The car is for sale locally and I may end the listing early if purchased in person. Please be a real buyer with respect for a real seller. Many thanks!
