 Subject: hard time selling my Dak
IP: Logged
Message:
i'm having the hardest time selling my '99 Dak. its been up for sale for 5 months now and hardly a nibble of interest in it.
i was wondering if anyone else has encountered any difficulties or if anyone had any speculation as to why no one is interested in it. my buddy has been trying to sell his 2004 for 6 months.
mine is a '99 5.2L club cab sport.

yeah no 4x4, too many miles for the price. and most people want a new one and don't want to drop that much on an older truck. its easier to get a loan for a new one anywayz. but try advertising more it might help.

I'm sure the details on your truck may vary as well as the area that you live in so check it out for yourself.

No offense, but noone will pay that much of a price for a truck.
They can easily get one at a dealership with a warranty for $11,000.
Why would they buy one from you for so much?
The best way to get money out of it is to trade it in for whatever you want.
Bring your KBB value with you too, $6,375
Whenever dealing with a car dealer, always make two trips.
First trip, talk to a dealer and get him/her to look at your truck and come to an agreement on what its worth before you talk about looking at any of thier vehicles.
Get the dealers name and price written down.
Leave.
Second trip, talk to a different dealer, look at the vehicle you want, work them down on price the best you can.
Then bring up the fact, hey, I have a trade in and this is what your dealership said my truck is worth.
Point, set, and match. You go home with a new vehicle and get your moneys worth out of your Truck.

Could also be the HIGH PRICE OF GAS!!!!!!!!! With no end in site, most are looking at the economics. avg of 15 mpg really sucks with fuel at 2.35 a gallon.

Yes, the high price of gas has been leaving several trucks in car lots untouched.
My 99 318V8 with 35s gets good mileage on the highway but city will kill me.
Thats why a drive a beater S-10 during the week and play with my Dodge on the weekends :)
