How is this 30 year old truck worth 30k?

I have to ask

How much for a four door longbed manual transmission 7.3 four wheel drive ?

$30,000 doesn't go far nowadays. It doesn't come in any faster, but it don't go far.

But that truck didn't cost $30,000 in 1995, did it? I was high-end for the first generation Rams, and I never priced a Cummins, but I doubt if it was $25,000.

Maybe the seller thinks it has collector cachet. Seller is dreaming. What's KBB say? I think $12,000 would be very generous.

Any clunker over ten years old is worth 1k tops.

They are really good quality, well made vehicles that would cost at least 150k, IF they were at all possible to be made in todays challenging climate control environment, and pollution etc.

In todays market, you can't make vehicles that well anymore until you get into the semi-truck range of products.

If I had alot of money, I would be buying up older vehicles rite now, to collect a fleet of them. They will pay for themselves over the next few decades when they still continue to work and be serviceable, parts-availability considered though, Don't buy something that you can't get parts for, if you do, Make sure its really reliable or buy two of them.
