honestly, if you care that much about what happens to the truck, maybe you shouldnt be selling it.

lol, maybe your right.

oh, and sorry about the hispanic comment, I wasnt trying to be racist, just thought that would be the politically correct way to describe the person who called. A spanish speeking person with very poor english and gramatical skills. Frequent curse words too. In no way was I trying to say that all Hispanic people are uneducated bums, this is not the case. There are millions of wonderful spanish oriented people out there.

I guess now you know what to expect if you advertize something to sell. People call and want to look at it. I know it's weird but actually thats how it's supposed to work. Don't worry you'll get it in a few years.............(sarcasm not a personal attack);0

........I dont think I'm getting my point across here. I've let many people look the truck over. I'm a few months shy of 21, I know how the game goes. I'm just tired of people wasting my time with stupidity. I received a call this morning, the guy actually knew a thing or two about what the 6.0L was and everything. Really cool guy, i know he wasnt wasting my time. And the whole point of the truck still being listed after the Trans Am Incident is to see what sort of offers i could get. I didnt want to waste 40 bucks. What I'm trying to say is, unless you know a little something about our trucks, you most likely will not be willing to pay what its worth. I'm tired fo people calling trying to haggle me down to $10K because its not the original motor. Thats the point I'm trying to make. If you have a stern interest in my truck and would like a shot at paying a fair price, so be it. Come look with a magnafying class if you want I dont care. But dont call me up and say "well its worth what a stock truck is worth to me, so I'm only gunna give you 9 for it take it or leave it" Dont insult me like that.

for instance, if you were selling your vehicle and i looked at it and said "well yeah you did alot to it, but i dont care, its stupid and un-neccessary.....I'll give you $2k for it. its an insult. Or if you knew a guy with a mint 1969 camaro convertable SS, he's got it listed for $32K in the local paper. You call him up and say "well they were only 5 grand new back then so I'll give you $4grand for it now since its used.

Special interest vehicle shopping is a whole other ballgame. Thats my point.
