New Member Needs Opinion on Value of 2013 Crewmax

Hey all, looking forward to being a part of the group. I'm looking at a 2013 crewmax with the 5.7 and 157k. Its in Oregon, so no rust and for sale by the original owner. It's not a beauty queen by any stretch. Its a work truck with a rack, sliding bed trays, a cap and front winch bumper. It's not lifted though, needs new tires. No major dents, but has all the scratches down each side from being taken down trails through the brush while elk hunting and working. It's been used to tow a wood chipper, some dings in the tailgate and plenty of dents in the rear bumper. All in all it's been a work truck and hunting rig and looks the part. 156k of intended purpose miles. Interior looks about the same. When I saw it yesterday the seller had just posted it. Selling because he has a brand new Tundra he bought 6 months ago and was going to keep this as a backup, but has only driven it a few times since. Test drove and it drives like it should. Tracks straight, breaks really good and good acceleration. I'll ask him today if we can take it somewhere and put it on a lift. Tentatively agreed on a price of $17,300. Any thoughts on the price and things I should look for would be appreciated! It's going to be a work truck for me too, but I like to keep my work trucks looking good, so this one will get some lipstick if I get it. So far I'm looking at putting $3k into it right out of the gate between new tires and some cosmetics.. Thanks for any input!

Not a crewmax, but a double cab. But I'd say not a bad price if you're happy with what you see. Have it checked out on the lift and any other diagnoses you care to do and if it checks out, then go for it.

 

Thank you! Learning something already..

Thank you! We should all read more Thomas Sowell.

 

Better yet would be for more people to THINK like him!

If you think it's a deal and a fair price, then it is. Don't ever feel bad for buying something you want/think is worth it. Welcome from FL.
