Re: Cheap Sy in TN
When you say "Wrong Bed Cover" do you mean it's not the original one or that it's off a Dakota or something and doesn't fit correctly?
Also, minor dings as in "door dings" or are we talking dents from moving mishaps where bodywork is necessary?
Thanks

Re: Cheap Sy in TN
Does it really matter? For this price I think it's a great deal even if it needs a new front bumper cover.
To each his own I guess but if I were looking to buy my first SY then I'd pick it up quick... wait i may be picking it up, will know tomorrow.

Re: Cheap Sy in TN
The bed cover is not the orginal cover, it fits fine its just heavy. It isfiberglass but still quite heavy compared to the stock vinyl covers and it is starting to sag in the middle. I don't like it myself but it was on it when I bought the truck and served it pupose so it is still there. As far as body work, it depends on how perfect you want it. The worst spot is on the roof and its about the size of quarter the other few are not very noticeable.

Re: Cheap Sy in TN
What shape is the rubber in? I realize that for 7K I might be asking too many questions for some people but, if I have to drive this thing back to Canada (Ontario) possibly through some bad weather I wanna make it home.
Any other long distance driveability issues I might wanna be aware of?
Thanks,
Kevin

Re: Cheap Sy in TN
Asking questions on a vehicle over the net is a good thing. Better to find out more info now, than be in for a surprise when you get there. I guess you could always order some new skins for it and get them put on , on the trip back home. A drive home with a "newly bought vehicle" can always be a surprise. It's a nice looking truck, I think you should get this one.

Re: Cheap Sy in TN
Not being overly familiar with CARFAX reports, this one looks clean but stops in 1999. That's nearly 9 years ago.
Does this mean the current owner has had this Sy since 99? How recent is the lien info? How recent was the CARFAX for that matter?
In Ontario we have "Used Vehicle Reports" that are similiar but will not show accidents or pass/fail reports - only current owner, previous owners, current mileage and lien info (if any).
Thanks for the report.

Re: Cheap Sy in TN
The dealership was Moulton Motors in Rivergate, as you can tell by the car-fax it had 52k on it when I bought it. Most of the miles I put on it were in the first few years I owned it. The past 4-5 years has been less than 5-6k of driving. I traded a 92' Z-28 and about 7k for the truck. They told me the owner before me was Marcus Robertson who at the time was a Tn. Titans football player. The truck run like crap when I got but a new dist. cap, rotor button and some plugs changed it 100%.

Re: Cheap Sy in TN
The tires are good shape about 50% at least. This is what I drive down here if we ever get snow. Tn. is not good for clearing roads. You should see the look on peoples face when a little, lowered truck takes off and does't spin and there sitting there in there big 4X4 trucks. I don't see any problems driving it that far unless your over 6' tall like me, not a lot of leg room. Hope this info helps you Kevin and if you have any other ? please ask I want everybody to know about the truck I would hate for someone to came that far andit be abig disappointment, I know I wouldn't want it to happen to me.

Re: Cheap Sy in TN
I know your Sy! I wondered where that one went. I looked at it when it was at Moulton Motors. Rivergate is just 15 min from me.
