Re: Looking for a new ride - xterra or Frontier maybe
I actually found the perfect fronty locally. Was a 2002, crew-cab, fully loaded (yes it was actually "fully loaded" for once) off-road edition, and even in my color (black). Was in excellent shape as well and came with a tonneau cover and Leer cap. Guy was asking $6000.
But at the last moment I decided against it. Why should I spend that type of money on "another" truck that I have to get safetied, etested, insurance, registration, etc. I already have a couple trucks and is costing me a good amount as it is.
Can spend 1/3 - 1/2 the price of that fronty and really pimp out the Hardbody instead. Thinking something like this:

Re: Looking for a new ride - xterra or Frontier maybe
Interesting part about that particular truck Alain, is that had you been in the market last year for a vehicle, you could have actually purchased that exact truck, directly from Calmini. It came up for sale last year around this time, as they were looking to start a new project, so they sold their Hardbody.
Anyways, that's probably the direction that I would be going as well, if I was in your position. You have a couple of vehicles already, why not use one of them as a base for a project. Your end cost will likely be about the same, so...
Doooo eeeet!

Re: Looking for a new ride - xterra or Frontier maybe
With the HB continuing to cost money, I have been back on the lookout for another truck. Thought this would be a good time of year, since a lot of people who bought the 4x4 trucks for winter are now going to sell them. But it seems as if most people are still holding onto them.
There are some trucks out there, but the prices are all over the place. For example, people want $8k+ for a 2001 truck with just under 300k on it. Then there are people who want a much more $4K for that same year of truck, but they have over 300k, need a lot of repairs and are a base model truck. Just saw one on kijiji that has 500K on it! Oh but he says it runs like new.
Looking for a 2001-2004 D22 series truck, with under 300k, but not much out there for under $7k.
Can get a full sized pickup for cheaper. Looking in that direction if nothing reasonable comes around for used Frontiers.

Re: Looking for a new ride - xterra or Frontier maybe
Yeah I was thinking about yours and was wondering if it was still for sale. Thought you had likely sold it by now. Even with the mileage, I know you have taken good care of it.lookzcustoms wrote:mine is still in the garage waiting for new owner lol
Only problem is that I would likely end up repainting her. I am not a fan of yellow.

Re: Looking for a new ride - xterra or Frontier maybe
yellow is the shiznit, u can always plastidip the truck LOL
i havent sold it because i dont have the patience to deal with all these dumb asses on kijiji, and i'm not hurting for $ so i'm no rush
i put a price and i wrote dont waste my time and no negotiations and they all waste my time calling trying to negotiate and the ones that come buy waste my time too, so after a couple of weeks on kijiji i took the ad off and parked it in the garage
plus i noticed after i put my # on kijiji i started getting calls people trying to sell me poop

Painting is no problem for me. I have done it many times before.
Yeah I know what you mean about kijiji. Have a friend trying to sell a truck and he says he would rather send the truck to the scrapper than sell it on kijiji. I posted a couple things on kijiji a while back and it seems my number got added to junk mail lists and I was still getting calls 4-5 months later asking if I still had it somehow. Kijiji is nice due to all the publicity, but the people on it are complete idiots most of the time. Even after you tell them your bottom price, they try to offer you 50% less than that.
