    Ninja, the post by Shifty yesterday has a lot of lessons in it. I appreciate the different inputs as one always learns something new, especially when it comes to money and cars.

    That looks like a nice truck.

    OP, your ad has a credibility problem. The multiple mentions of "one-owner" don't appear to be true if you're the second owner. That reduces my interest by 50-75% because it begins to look scammy. The ad mentions a "link below" with photos of a clean frame but I couldn't find the link (my user error?).

    Yeah, the audio stuff does little for me.

    Here's hoping you find a buyer soon.

    I consider our vehicles investments in our family’s safety, reliable transportation and our lifestyle. Also a means to make money with. Transportation to work, our businesses etc. I invest in that vehicle and the returns come in different ways. Like I “ invest” in expensive snow tires and the return is hopefully a safer winter driving experience for my family. Or I “ invest” in good brakes and the return is the car can stop. I “ invest” in maintinance and now I have a reliable truck to go do a job with and make money. Thats how I look at it.

    if that makes sense haha. Not sure I worded it correctly. Traditional money sense no that’s ridiculous.

    Fixed the title. Didn’t mean it as a scam but to indicate that 6 months ago when I bought it, it was from its original owner. I see this on Bring a Trailer on a daily basis but I understand your point.

    This has been an education to me. I’m not a flipper just a person no longer needing this great truck. Most likely I’ll just gift it to my uncle.

    Yeah, I was thinking about BaT practices when they say "one owner". I think that may be legit when a dealer is selling a one owner car b/c the dealer isn't technically an owner??? I didn't assume you were trying to scam anyone but wanted to suggest a way to keep interest in folks seeing your ad. No offense intended.
