I'm pretty sure I'm going to sell my typhoon. With young children and family obligations - I've finally accepted that I'm just not going to have the time I need to make it how I want.
My blk/blk 93 Ty is 99% original (after market radio, but still have the old one in my garage for some reason), 145k miles, 2nd owner. I had the x-fer case rebuilt a couple years ago, the tranny rebuilt as well (my father in law decided to break it again), front differential rebuilt, new A/C components retrofitted to r134a (replaced everything but the inside evaporator), new motor mounts, tires have a lot of tread but are starting to crack on the sides a little from sitting.100% of its life in California.
Overall it's always been a nice reliable clean ride. The tranny is shot again (sun shell I presume is cracked), the paint is how 93 Ty paint should look - some elbow grease and it would shine but we all know it just needs to be redone, leather is good, driver seat shows rub marks from the wallets - no tears or cracks, the window tint from 93 is bubbling on the back glass which needs to be removed or replaced.
Bottom line is I would say it's in fair to good condition, with a tranny that needs some more work.
So what to do? I can put $1000 and get $7k for a trade-in from a dealer (looking at getting a commuter), So I'm thinking of selling as-is for $6k so atleast someone who loves the trucks would get one to tinker(slave) on. KBB numbers look like all over the place. I could detail the paint, put some new tint on, fix the tranny and be left with a solid running truck, and maybe sell for $10k?
Whats the market? Is $6k too low/high?
Thanks all - you're the experts.
