Went to Home depot to get one last thing for my drywall project, and was asked no less than 3 times if my truck was for sale, so...
I'd start asking what they are offering? Then I'd say nothing and walk away, they might go higher. Lol. Then I'd look real good and hard at your truck and see if there is something special about it you are not aware of. I'd also ask why they are interested what they like about it? I'd try and figure out if they think it's very desirable or if they think they can get it cheap? Because you are definatly getting more offers than what I'd call the norm.
Maybe el Chapo hid some product in a false gas tank and never got a chance to remove it before you bought it..... never know....
Lol.
LOL, maybe, my gas tank seems very small sometimes.
I think it really is just the availability of good condition of small trucks around. Especially around here, they are bought by the small business guys and just driven into the ground. Off roading around here is very popular, and so they are also often heavily modified, and the popularity of the new ranger has brought a lot of interest up. just seaching craigslist for a 6cyl and 4x4 of any year, and you'll be hard pressed to find any, add in auto, and it gets even thinner, and then add under 100k miles, AND mostly unmodified (only a radio upgrade on mine). and I found 1 available on craigslist, for $9k from a dealer, so pushing $11k when you're out of the door.
I've asked, and the one person who gave me an offer was $3000. he was really looking for a deal.
The offers had died off at the beginning of this year, but they really picked up the last few months. I think it is because its parked to the side of my house, but very visible from the street. and Home Depot was a madhouse this weekend, and I parked over by contractor parking, and it was all the contractors out by their trucks that asked me.
